Question 1

What is general dentistry?

Accepted Answer

General dentistry is a term used to describe the preventive care and restorative services provided by most family dentists. These treatments and procedures help keep your teeth and gums healthy, and restore their health when they suffer damage or decay.

Question 2

What is the difference between a dentist and a cosmetic dentist?

Accepted Answer

A cosmetic dentist is a dentist who chooses to specialize in the aesthetics of the smile. Most cosmetic dentists also offer general dentistry services, but they have an eye for detail and have pursued advanced coursework in cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Parlitsis has in-depth knowledge and years of experience providing exceptional cosmetic dental work, including bonding, teeth whitening, and veneers.

Question 3

How often should you get a dental cleaning?

Accepted Answer

The American Dental Association recommends that most Americans go to the dentist every six months for dental cleanings. The exception to this is if you have gum disease or other serious oral health issues; in these cases, more frequent visits may be recommended to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Question 4

What is the best whitener for your teeth?

Accepted Answer

The most effective way to brighten your smile is with in-office teeth whitening treatments. They yield the most dramatic results in the shortest amount of time. If you have only mild stains or prefer to whiten your teeth at home, our take-home whitening kits may be a better fit for you.

Question 5

How much does it usually cost for dental implants?

Accepted Answer

The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of teeth being restored, the type of dental implant, the restoration being attached to the implant, and whether supplemental procedures like a sinus lift, bone grafting, or extractions are required. This means the best way to know how much you can expect to pay for dental implants is to visit our office for a consultation.
