Is there a fee for the examination, and how long does it take?
At your first visit, we perform an intraoral examination and any necessary X-rays, then explain your personalized treatment plan and options. The examination takes about 30 minutes. Please call us for current fee information.
Are the treatments painful?
Procedures such as fillings, root canal treatment, implants and extractions are performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. We also apply a topical numbing gel before the injection to minimize the needle sensation.
I'm afraid of the dentist. What can I do?
This is very common. We explain every step in advance and offer a calm environment where you can take a break whenever you want. Just let us know about your anxiety when you book your appointment.
How often should I come in for a checkup?
For most people, a checkup and scaling and polishing every 6 months is recommended. For patients with a history of gum disease, implants or orthodontic treatment, your dentist will determine the checkup interval.
How long does implant treatment take?
An implant is usually placed in a single session; it then takes 2–3 months to fuse with the bone, after which the permanent tooth is attached. In suitable cases, a temporary tooth can be placed the same day.
Can I have dental treatment while pregnant?
The second trimester of pregnancy is the most suitable time for necessary dental treatment. In emergencies, safe treatment can be planned at any stage. Be sure to tell us you are pregnant when booking your appointment.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency with severe pain?
Call us or message us on WhatsApp; we do our best to offer a same-day appointment. Until then, avoid chewing on the painful side and avoid very hot or cold foods; do not place aspirin on your gums.
