Have a Question? We have the answers…

 

Q. Do you have gaps in your teeth?

A. Unfortunately, the majority of people do not come by beautifully
straight and perfectly spaced teeth naturally. Choose from a number of
safe cosmetic dentistry procedures that can correct gaps in your smile,
including porcelain veneers, and dental bonding.

Q. Would you like whiter teeth?

A. Our cosmetic dentistry team uses one of the most effective whitening treatments in the country – choose Zoom! Advanced Whitening System
to see as much as an 8-shade improvement in about an hour! We also
offer custom home whitening, which can only 7-10 days.  The
effectiveness and convenience of these cutting edge whitening
techniques will give you that gleaming smile you have always wanted.

Q. What makes you different than any other dental
practice I can visit?

A. Our number one goal is for you to have a great visit. A great visit is
defined by our five-star service and our top quality dentistry. It starts with a sincerely interested person greeting you when you call. Then, you’ll have a personal introduction when you arrive. We make sure you’re 100% comfortable with every procedure we propose. We take care of all of the little things that
can make a difference in our patient’s day: like refreshments in the reception
area, beautiful floral arrangements to brighten your mood, and even music or TV for you to watch during your visit.

We use technology and CAESY
educational resources to help aid those conversations and help you see what
we’re talking about for yourself. We build time into our schedule for personal
conversations with you that result in a powerful rapport and trust, allowing
you to take confidence in the excellent dentistry we offer. We are trained in
caring not only about your teeth but who you are, what your desires and needs
are, and how you like to be treated. Dr. Schwedfeger’s dentistry is second to none for
those addressing comfort, life-long maintenance and/or the most elaborate
cosmetic issues. We could try to describe the difference all day, but we’d love
more than anything to show you! Make an appointment

Q. When should a child have his/her first dental appointment?

A. child should have his first dental appointment no later than his third
birthday.  Many dentists recommend a child have his first appointment when
his first tooth comes in.  

Q. Why should I replace multiple teeth with dental implants vs. a removable
partial denture?

A. Disadvantages of removable prostheses (Denture)

• Removable prostheses
  decreases the bite force significantly
• Ability to chew is
  compromised with removable prosthesis, often causing GI disorders
• Possible decrease in life span with removable prosthesis
• Attachment teeth of removable prosthesis can have increased mobility, plaque, bleeding and cavities
• Embarrassment from loose
  prosthesis
• Decrease of supporting bone
• Sore spots

A. Advantages of Implant-Supported Prostheses (Denture)

• Bone loss is prevented
• Able to restore and maintain
  height and support of facial structures
• Preserve the integrity of
  facial esthetics
• No unsightly clasps or hooks
• Elimination of denture
  adhesives
• Improved taste of food
• Esthetic improvement
• Improved speech
• Improved biting force
• Improved chewing efficiency
• Improved function of
  prostheses
• Smaller
  prosthesis/restoration
• Improved stability and
  retention of prosthesis
• Increased lifetime of
  prosthesis
• Elimination of need to alter
  adjacent teeth
• More permanent replacement
• Improved psychological health

Q. Do you want an alternative to removable dentures/bridges?

A. Dental implants may be the way to go! Implants look, feel and function
like natural teeth. They are anchored directly into the jaw bone, so
you can eat, speak and chew normally. The best part is, you will not
even be able to tell they are “false teeth!”
