Answers to FAQs

My teeth are stained. What’s the fastest way to whiten them?

We offer Zoom! whitening to remove dental stains and discolorations in about an hour. A low-heat light activates the safe, effective bleaching gel to make discolorations from coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, and other staining agents disappear! Call today to schedule your Zoom! teeth whitening appointment.

Can the doctor secure my loose lower denture?

Lower dentures are notorious for losing their secure fit. When teeth are missing, bone tissue deteriorates and gums shrink. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement method that saves existing jawbone mass. Implant posts surgically placed in jawbone tissue form a firm foundation to anchor a denture and stop slippage. Schedule your implant dentistry consultation today and learn more about implant-supported dentures.

What’s a one-visit crown?

We use state-of-the-art CEREC technology to design, fabricate, and apply custom crowns while you wait. Your restoration will look natural and feel comfortable. Most patients report that they can’t tell their CEREC crowns from their natural teeth. Best of all, you won’t need to wear a temporary, and multiple appointment are unnecessary. Call today to discover if a CEREC one-visit crown is right for you.

I want straighter teeth, but I don’t want to wear metal braces. What do you suggest?

Invisalign clear braces! Dr. Kalarickal provides this discreet, comfortable, and fast orthodontic method to our adult patients who want straighter teeth and an improved appearance. Instead of metal, Invisalign uses clear, acrylic aligners to reposition teeth. The aligners are removable, so you won’t experience any diet restrictions. Plus, average treatment time is 18 months, faster than traditional metal braces. Schedule your Invisalign consultation today and get started on your beautiful new smile!

What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are a brand of veneers that cover teeth to erase flaws such as chips, stains, awkward shape, and more. They’re considered a minimal-prep solution because little or no alteration of tooth structure is required prior to placement. At your cosmetic dentistry consultation, Dr. Kalarickal will discuss whether Lumineers are the right choice for your smile. We also offer porcelain veneers for our patients who prefer a completely custom solution to transform flawed teeth. Call today to learn more.
