Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about our dental treatments in Mountain View, CA.
Can a smile makeover improve my oral health?
Yes, a smile makeover can indirectly improve your oral health. Treatments like crowns, bridges, and implants restore damaged or missing teeth. Straightening teeth with braces or aligners makes cleaning easier and reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease. Addressing these issues improves both the appearance and health of your mouth.
How many treatments are in a smile makeover?
As you know, a smile makeover isn’t a single treatment. It’s a custom plan that can include several different procedures to give you the smile you want. Common treatments in a makeover are teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, dental implants, braces or clear aligners, and tooth bonding.
The exact plan is completely personalized. Dr. Schweifler will mix and match the right treatments to create your ideal smile while also making sure your teeth are healthy.
Does teeth whitening remove stains?
Yes, teeth whitening is great at removing many common surface stains caused by things like coffee, soda, and berries. It works best on these external stains. You might need several whitening treatments to see a difference for deeper more stubborn stains.
If the stains are really set in and aren’t causing health issues, we might recommend a different solution. For example, porcelain veneers can cover the stain completely. During a consultation, we can check your teeth and tell you which approach will give you the best results.
Can I get Invisalign if I have a crown?
Yes, you usually can! Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made to fit your unique smile. This includes fitting over any dental crowns you have. If a crown is old or doesn’t fit well after the teeth have moved, we might need to replace it after your Invisalign treatment.
Can I get dental implants after having dentures?
Yes. Many people who have worn dentures switch to dental implants to have a more permanent and stable solution. Implants won’t slip or click. To see if you’re a good candidate, Dr. Schweifler will check the health and density of your jawbone.
Don’t worry if your bone has shrunk from wearing dentures. A bone graft can build it back up to properly support the implants or other restorations.
Is gum disease reversible?
Yes, but only in its early stage, during gingivitis. Signs include red, puffy, and bleeding gums when you brush. You can usually reverse the condition by stepping up your brushing and flossing and getting a professional dental cleaning.
However, if it advances to a more serious stage called periodontitis, the damage to the bone and tissue isn’t reversible. At that point, we can only manage the disease with deep cleanings and other treatments to stop it from getting worse.
