Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the FX in Cosmetic Dental FX?

The effects (FX) that result from the cosmetic dentistry you receive will be incomparable, hence the name Cosmetic Dental FX (effects).

Can I come in for just a cleaning?

Absolutely, if you have been seen by a dentist in the last year and have a full set of updated x-rays. They need to include progress notes from your prior dentist stating that you are on maintenance, meaning no other work is needed, and you are not interested in any cosmetic treatment.

What is a veneer?

A veneer is a porcelain cover that adheres to the front of a tooth to change the shape, size, and/or color of the tooth.

What is a Lumineer?

A Lumineer is a brand of veneer that we offer. It is much thinner than the porcelain veneer and is used for patients that do not need to close a lot of spaces in between their teeth. These Lumineers need little to no tooth reduction.

What is a crown?

A crown is used to cover the tooth above the root area. A crown is typically recommended when there is not enough tooth structure remaining to place a filling, when a tooth is fractured, or when a tooth has had root canal therapy.

Do you accept my insurance?

We will happily submit any PPO insurance that you have. However, we are not members of any HMO or Medicare/Medicaid programs.

How are amalgam fillings safely removed?
1. Provide alternative air source via nasal hood- this eliminates inhalation of any amalgam vapors that are
    released during removal.
2. Use of a high-volume evacuator-one of the most important tools in minimizing patients exposure to vapor and
    particles.
3. Keeping the fillings cool during removal-this reduces the amount of vapor that could potentially be released
    during removal.
4. Use of a rubber dam-this isolates the tooth makes it easier to evacuate the particles and prevents further
    swallowing of the material.
5. Immediately dispose of filling particles-constant suction and continuous flow of air and water.
6. Thorough irrigation of the mouth-the patient should not swallow any watery residue.
7.Use of air filters-to keep room air as pure as possible since removing amalgam fillings releases significant
   amounts of vapor.
