What is the difference between cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, improves the appearance of your smile through treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, and crowns. Marshall Dental Care offers both services to ensure you achieve a beautiful and healthy smile.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a sturdy foundation for a custom crown. The result is a natural-looking and fully functional tooth replacement.
What should I expect during a root canal procedure?
A root canal is a treatment designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. It’s a comfortable process thanks to modern techniques and sedation options.
Do you provide sedation dentistry?
Yes, we offer sedation dentistry for patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during dental procedures. Our goal is to provide a relaxed and stress-free experience so you can receive the care you need without worry.
Are pediatric dental services available?
Absolutely! We specialize in making children feel comfortable and safe during visits. Our pediatric services include cleanings, fluoride treatments, and preventive care to ensure your child’s smile stays healthy as they grow.
When should I consider dental crowns?
Dental crowns are ideal when a tooth is weakened by decay, has a large filling, or has undergone a root canal. They restore both function and aesthetics by covering and protecting the damaged teeth with a durable, natural-looking cap.
What should I do if I need emergency dentistry?
If you're experiencing severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken dental appliance, contact us immediately. Our emergency dentistry services provide fast, effective care to relieve pain and prevent further complications.
