Frequently Asked Questions By Adults Seeking Dental Treatment

I Have A Missing Tooth. Should I Get A Dental Bridge Or A Dental Implant?

In some cases, a dental implant is required if there aren’t enough teeth to create a stable bridge. In other cases, you will have the choice between the two options. A dental bridge requires the smoothing of the two outer teeth that will be fitted with caps with a whole tooth affixed between them. A dental implant will function entirely on its own, and also create stability across your smile.

I Have Crooked Teeth. Is It Too Late For Braces?

No! In fact, we offer a teeth straightening solution designed for adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. It’s called Invisalign and it is incredibly low maintenance. You wear a set of trays for 20-22 hours a day for two weeks, then move on to the next set! You don’t have to adjust your diet or become acclimated to sharp metal brackets in your mouth.

I’ve Tried To Whiten My Teeth In The Past With Over-The-Counter Products, But They Don’t Work. Is There A Better Option?

Yes! At The Center For Dental Excellence, we offer many solutions for teeth whitening. From Zoom to Opalesence, we are sure to have a teeth whitening solution that meets your expectations for a whiter and brighter smile!
