Do you have questions about any of the treatments that we offer? Our team is always happy to address your concerns. Below, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most common questions that we receive from our patients. If you still don’t see the information you’re looking for, please call our office directly.
Can you replace my missing teeth?
Of course! We have a variety of options for restoring missing teeth, including dental implants. A dental implant is comprised of a titanium post that’s embedded into your jaw and then capped with a porcelain crown. The posts can serve as anchors for crowns, bridges and dentures to replace any number of missing teeth.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
Call The Dentists at Orenco Station! A visit to our dental office is the first step toward determining the root of the problem and making you feel more comfortable.
How can I improve my smile?
With the cosmetic dentistry options provided by The Dentists at Orenco Station, we can make your smile better and more beautiful. For example, we have both in-office and take-home teeth whitening services. We also offer porcelain veneers, which can fix a variety of cosmetic dental issues.
How can you straighten my teeth without traditional braces?
The Dentists at Orenco Station can cosmetically straighten your teeth with SureSmile clear aligners. SureSmile uses a series of aligners that gently adjust your teeth into their optimal position. SureSmile is a terrific solution for adults and teens who want to straighten crooked teeth, but don’t need to correct any bite problems.
Is there a difference in quality between CEREC and traditional crowns?
Some patients believe that the convenience of CEREC same-day crowns comes with a catch, like a restoration that is low-quality. However, that’s not the case at all. Our CEREC crowns are crafted from a solid block of tooth-colored dental porcelain, one of the most natural looking and durable materials used for restorations as well as the same high-quality material used in dental labs.
The reasons why they’re both cost-effective and convenient is because your restoration never leaves our hands, meaning there’s no need to send it off to a dental laboratory or place a temporary crown. This provides several benefits as well, like no lapse in communication between a laboratory and your dentist as well as a precisely fitting restoration that meets our high standards.
