  • Do you offer treatment financing options like CareCredit

    Yes, we offer flexible financing options through CareCredit to help make dental treatments more affordable for our patients.

  • Is there a dental membership plan available? What does the Kleer Membership plan include?

    Yes, we offer the Kleer Membership plan, which provides discounted preventive care services, including cleanings, exams, X-rays, and discounts on other treatments. The plan is designed for patients without dental insurance.

  • How often should I schedule cleanings and check-ups for optimal oral health?

    We recommend scheduling cleanings and check-ups every six months to maintain optimal oral health and to catch any potential issues early.

  • What cosmetic services do you offer, and how can they improve my smile?

    We offer a range of cosmetic services, including teeth whitening, Invisalign, cosmetic crowns, and dental bonding. These can correct discoloration, alignment issues, chips, and gaps, giving you a more confident and radiant smile.

  • Do you offer Invisalign, and how does it compare to traditional braces?

    We offer Invisalign, which discreetly uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. Invisalign is often preferred over traditional braces because it is nearly invisible, more comfortable, and removable for eating and cleaning.

  • How long do teeth whitening treatments last, and are they safe for sensitive teeth?

    Our teeth whitening treatments are safe and effective, even for sensitive teeth. How long Teeth whitening results last depends on the individual. Consult your dentist for tips on maintaining a sparkling smile.

  • What is the process for getting dental implants, and how long does it take?

    Dental implants typically involve a multi-step process, including a consultation, implant placement, a healing period, and the restoration placement (crown). Depending on your case, the entire process can take several months.

  • How do I know if I need a crown or a filling for a damaged tooth?

    If the damage is minor, a filling may be sufficient. However, a crown is necessary to restore the tooth's structure and strength for more extensive damage or decay. We'll determine the best option during your examination.

  • What should I expect during an oral cancer screening?

    During an oral cancer screening, we will examine your mouth, throat, and tongue for any signs of abnormal tissue or lesions. The screening is quick and painless and can help detect cancer early when it's most treatable.

  • Do you offer sedation dentistry, and is it available for both adults and children?

    Yes, we offer sedation dentistry for oral surgery procedures to help ease anxiety during dental procedures. Sedation options are available for adults and children, ensuring a relaxed and comfortable experience.

  • How can I book an emergency dental appointment, and what constitutes a dental emergency?

    If you have a dental emergency, call our office at 909-393-7500, and we will try to assist you or provide direction. However, we cannot guarantee same-day appointments.  Dental emergencies include severe tooth pain, knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, and swelling or bleeding that won't stop.

  • Are bone grafts necessary before dental implants, and what does the procedure involve?

     When there isn't enough bone in the jaw to support an implant, bone grafts are necessary. The procedure involves placing bone material in the area where the implant will go, which helps regenerate bone tissue.

  • What are the benefits of a bruxism guard, and how do I know if I need one?

    A bruxism or night guard helps protect teeth from grinding or clenching while you sleep. You may need one if you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or notice wear on your teeth.

  • Do you provide orthodontic treatments beyond Invisalign, such as traditional braces?

    While we specialize in Invisalign, we can refer you to a trusted orthodontic specialist for traditional braces and other advanced treatments.

  • What options are available for dentures and partials, and how do they compare to implants?

    We offer full and partial dentures as a removable option for replacing missing teeth. While dentures are less invasive, dental implants are a more permanent solution that closely mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth.

  • How do you handle periodontal treatments for gum disease, and what can I expect during treatment?

    We offer periodontal treatments such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to treat gum disease. These treatments remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline, helping to stop the progression of gum disease. We also offer Perio Protect Trays to keep your gums healthy. 

  • What steps should I take if I need a tooth extraction, and what are the aftercare procedures?

    Before an extraction, we'll ensure you're comfortable with anesthesia or sedation. After the extraction, you must follow specific aftercare instructions, such as resting, avoiding certain foods, and keeping the area clean to promote healing.

  • Are regular X-rays necessary, and how do you ensure they are safe for patients?

    Regular X-rays are essential for diagnosing issues that aren't visible during a standard exam. We use digital X-rays, which reduce radiation exposure and are safe for both adults and children.

  • How can I schedule an appointment, and what should I bring to my first visit?

    You can schedule an appointment by calling 909-393-7500 or booking online through our website. Please bring your ID, insurance card, and relevant medical or dental records for your first visit.
