Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often should I get a dental exam and cleaning?
It’s recommended to visit Arya Dental every six months for a comprehensive exam and professional cleaning. These regular visits help prevent cavities, detect early signs of gum disease, and maintain your overall oral health.
2. What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar above the gumline, while a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease by removing buildup beneath the gums and smoothing tooth roots to promote healing.
3. When do I need a dental crown instead of a filling?
A crown is used when a tooth is too damaged or weak for a filling to restore properly. It covers the entire tooth to protect it from further decay or breakage and restores natural shape, color, and function.
4. What are porcelain veneers and who are they best for?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, or uneven shapes. They’re ideal for patients who want a long-lasting cosmetic solution for a brighter, more uniform smile.
5. How does Invisalign® work, and how long does it take?
Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners to gently move teeth into their ideal position. Treatment time varies depending on each case but typically lasts 6 to 18 months with regular wear.
6. What are the options for replacing missing teeth?
Arya Dental offers several tooth replacement solutions, including dental bridges, partial or full dentures, and implant-retained dentures, depending on your oral health and preferences.
7. Is teeth whitening safe, and how long do results last?
Yes, professional whitening such as Zoom® teeth whitening is safe and effective. Results can last 6–12 months or longer with proper care, depending on diet, smoking habits, and oral hygiene.
8. What should I expect during a root canal treatment?
A root canal removes infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth, relieving pain and preventing extraction. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and typically completed in one or two visits.
9. When is a tooth extraction necessary?
A tooth extraction is performed when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, or damaged beyond repair. Arya Dental prioritizes saving teeth whenever possible but ensures extractions are gentle and pain-free when needed.
10. Do you accept dental insurance and offer payment plans?
Yes. Arya Dental accepts most major dental insurance plans and provides flexible financing options through CareCredit to help make treatments more affordable for every patient.
