Newport Beach Dentist Reviews Veneers

There are often a few questions often asked about Veneers:

What dental problems do Veneers fix?
What are the benefits of Veneers?
What is the lasting length of time for Veneers?

In this blog post we will address these questions.

Veneers procedures are used to fix discoloration of the teeth as well as teeth that have worn down throughout the years. If a patient has a chipped or broken tooth they might want to consider veneers. Typically gaps between teeth and improperly aligned teeth are also cause for Veneers.

Veneers are great because they have the appearance of natural teeth. Gums handle the porcelain very well and they are unaffected by stains. Veneers do not really require major shaping that crowns do and they will offer a strong and nice looking solution.

Typically veneers will remain strong for close to 10 years. After this time they may need to be replaced.

2010-02-08T15:22:00.000-08:00

Newport Beach cosmetic dental practice reviews children's dental care.

What is the ideal age for children visit a dentist?

We recommend that children have their first dental examination as soon as their first tooth arrives and definitely before the conclusion of their first birthday.

How many check-ups should my child have per year?

We recommend your child to visit a dentist every 6 months – in order to foresee any future problems with cavities and alignment. Furthermore, each child might have different needs based on the shape and growth of the teeth.

If my child has aches and pain with their teeth, what should I do?

The first step is to call your dentist immediately and describe what is occurring. Furthermore you may clean the aching area with warm salt water and then apply a cold compress on the face if there is swelling. Some doctors may recommend children’s acetaminophen to lower the pain.

Same-Day Crowns Dentistry Newport Beach

2010-01-08T17:43:00.000-08:00

Benefits of Same-Day Dental procedures utilize up-to date technology to provide dental patients with the premium care and results. Traditional dental procedures like crowns/bridges will take two appointments. However, the E4D system allows the dentist to perform the procedure in one appointment.

Because traditional dental procedures take 2 visits and multiple weeks for composites to be developed, the temporary tooth can potentially shift in its position, increase in sensitivity, and become vulnerable to breaking. Therefore, same-day dentistry procedures for:

Inlays/Onlays

Ceramic Crowns

Veneers

Are ultimately are healthier than the traditional methods.

Childrens Dentist Newport Beach Discusses Tooth Decay

2009-08-12T13:40:00.000-07:00

Adults, teens, and especially children may have difficulties with tooth decay or cavities. Tooth decay occurs when plaque (bacteria) appears on your teeth and begins to stick on the enamel of the tooth (outer film). Foods that are high in sugars/starches form bacteria perpetrating the enamel of your teeth. If the plaque remains on the tooth, the enamel will be penetrated and will cause a cavity.

Image Dental outlines step you can take to avoid tooth decay/cavities.

• Brushing teeth by using ADA approved toothpaste
• Flossing after every meal.
• Maintaining a diet that is healthy and low in sugars.
• Asking your dentist questions about the best preventive methods.
• Schedule regular comprehensive cleanings and x rays with your dentist.

Cosmetic Dentist Newport Beach reviews eligibility for Teeth Whitening Orange County.

2009-07-15T16:40:00.000-07:00

Visiting your dentist could be the first step to choosing the right teeth whitening procedure. Some bleaching options may not be able to achieve the proper color. Typically teeth that are yellow will be bleached well, but brown and gray looking teeth will probably have a tougher chance of attaining a white hue.

If you had bonding done to your front teeth or fillings, then bleaching may have trouble improving the hue. Some patients may look into lumineers, bonding or other dental treatments to enhance the hue of your teeth.

Our staff at Image Dental is more than happy to answer any questions you may have about your teeth whitening treatment options, call our Newport Beach office at (949) 760-0363.

Cosmetic Dentist Newport Beach answers two frequently asked questions about Lumineers.

2009-06-30T17:20:00.000-07:00

Dr. Steve Q. Ngo DDS, of Image Dental OC responds to questions regarding Lumineers.

If I want to have my Lumineers removed, is that possible?

The special aspect about Lumineers is that the process can be reversed. Since there are no (grinding) adjustments made to your tooth structure, such as grinding, you will be able to reverse the process. Thus, your natural teeth will remain strong and unblemished.

If I get Lumineers, will I be able to chew gum and or consume foods that are sticky?

With Lumineers you are able to consume all types of foods or drinks without problems. Durability is the idea behind Lumineers and they are placed over the original teeth to ensure this. Visiting your dentist for exams is the best way to ensure great looking lumineers.

Newport Beach Dentist answers Questions about Adult Orthodontics and Braces.

2009-06-23T23:01:00.000-07:00

As an adult could I wear braces to fix any irregularities?

Many adults believe that it would be too late in their lifetime to have corrective orthodontic treatments. However, adults can remedy problems such as gaps, overbites, improper jaw positions, under-bites, & crooked/crowded teeth. One difference between orthodontic treatments for adults and children may lie in the time and amount of treatment needed to make the corrections. Improving your oral health and the aesthetics of your smile may occur at any point in your life. Today, there are Invisalign treatments that will ensure that your braces are not as apparent.

Would I be able to take part in activities or sports while wearing braces?

We recommend that you have your dentist pick a mouth guard that is appropriate for your activity so that you do not suffer any injuries that will hinder your dental health.
