Frequently Asked Questions

Cosmetic Dentistry: Achieving Your Dream Smile

At Livewell Dental, we're in the business of smiles. We understand that a captivating smile transcends mere aesthetics. It serves as an embodiment of joy, a symbol of friendliness, and a beacon of confidence. It's a nonverbal conversation starter and a silent self-esteem booster. That’s why we are steadfast in our mission to design a smile for you that is not just visually striking but also capable of elevating your self-confidence and enriching your social interactions.

One of the services we provide for our patients is the application of porcelain veneers—a widely sought-after cosmetic dentistry procedure. These wafer-thin, tailor-made shells are crafted with precision and an artistic eye to fit flawlessly over the front surface of your teeth. Veneers offer an effective and aesthetic solution to a variety of dental concerns. From addressing the imperfections of chipped or cracked teeth to effectively masking heavy stains, porcelain veneers can create a vibrant, natural-looking smile. Carefully matched to the color and shape of your existing teeth, veneers allow you to smile with confidence.

Another highly effective cosmetic procedure we provide is composite bonding, a swift and minimally invasive technique. Using a tooth-colored resin, we can mend decayed, damaged, or discolored teeth, achieving an improved aesthetic appeal and restored functionality.

At Livewell Dental, we believe in the art of perfecting smiles beyond teeth. For those who might feel conscious about a "gummy" smile or an irregular gum line, we offer gum contouring as an ideal cosmetic enhancement option. Our proficient team, with their extensive experience and finesse, skillfully reshape gums. By adjusting and sculpting the gums, we create a gumline that beautifully showcases your teeth, enhancing the overall appeal of your smile.

Teeth whitening treatments are yet another popular service we provide at Livewell Dental. Armed with advanced teeth whitening technology, we have the ability to effectively eliminate stains and discoloration. This process restores the natural brilliance of your teeth, providing you with a dazzling, captivating smile.

At Livewell Dental, we believe that everyone deserves to have a smile they're proud of, and our cosmetic dentistry services are designed to make that dream a reality. Whether it's porcelain veneers, composite bonding, gum contouring, or teeth whitening, our cosmetic dentistry services are all about enhancing your smile's aesthetic appeal while also boosting your confidence and wellbeing.

Restorative Dentistry: Reviving Your Oral Health

Be it natural wear and tear, decay, injury, or an unexpected accident, life events can compromise the health and integrity of our smile. That's where restorative dentistry comes in. At Livewell Dental, we have embraced the integral role that restorative dentistry plays in rejuvenating the function, health, and aesthetics of your smile. Our team of seasoned professionals is committed to bringing back the strength, form, and vitality to your teeth, making your smile more resilient than ever before.

One of the top restorative services we provide for patients is the placement of porcelain crowns. Crafted with the utmost attention to detail, these tooth-shaped replacements restore the durability, form, and size of compromised teeth. Not only do porcelain crowns restore functionality, but they also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth—providing an aesthetic that is as pleasing as it is functional.

In addition to porcelain crowns, we offer porcelain inlays and onlays as part of our suite of restorative dentistry services. These solutions are different than traditional fillings in that they are custom-made in a dental lab and then fitted and bonded onto the compromised tooth. This strategy results in a solution that is not only more durable than typical fillings but also more aesthetically pleasing—enhancing the overall look and function of your smile.

If missing teeth are becoming a detriment to your smile and confidence, our porcelain bridges provide an excellent solution. These are meticulously crafted to fill the void left by missing teeth, effectively "bridging" the gap. Beyond enhancing your smile's appearance, these prosthetic teeth also restore your ability to chew and speak confidently. The result? A smile that is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing.

Dental implants are another successful restorative solution we offer at Livewell Dental. Dental implants closely mimic natural teeth in terms of look, sturdiness, and functionality. Surgically inserted into the jawbone, they provide a robust and reliable base for replacement teeth. Implants enable you to bite, chew, and speak naturally, instilling in you the confidence that comes with having a functional, natural-looking smile that can stand the test of time.

Through restorative dentistry, we aim to provide you with a renewed lease on oral health. Our comprehensive approach to dental restoration ensures that you don't just regain your lost smile, but also the confidence and quality of life that comes with it.

General Dentistry: Emphasizing Preventive Care, Assessments, and Treatments

We firmly believe that prevention is the best way to maintain long-term oral health. At Livewell Dental, our comprehensive general dentistry services are designed to ensure just that.

Regular dental cleanings and assessments are critical for maintaining optimal oral health. Our skilled dental team employs the latest techniques and state-of-the-art tools to meticulously remove plaque and tartar—primary causes of tooth decay and gum disease. After each cleaning session, you'll leave our office with a refreshed, clean smile.

Along with dental cleanings, dental assessments are crucial. This is because they allow us to catch any dental issues early on. This early detection allows us to implement preventive measures, helping you avoid more complex and costly treatments down the line.

Root canal treatment, often misunderstood, is another vital service we offer. Despite common misconceptions, root canals are designed to alleviate pain, not cause it. When tooth decay or damage reaches the pulp of your tooth, a root canal treatment can effectively save the tooth, eliminating pain, and preventing the need for extraction.

Dental fillings are another fundamental part of our general dentistry services. They help restore the strength and function of decayed or damaged teeth. The tooth-colored fillings we use not only serve a practical purpose but also maintain the natural look of your smile.

In our pursuit of preventive care, we also offer fluoride treatments. Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens the outer layer of your teeth. A non-invasive treatment, professional fluoride application provides a concentrated dose of this magical mineral to boost your smile’s resistance to decay.

Another cornerstone of our general dentistry services is periodontal care, focusing on maintaining healthy gums and preventing gum disease. Our skilled hygienists ensure that your gums stay in excellent condition through thorough cleanings and personalized care.

At Livewell Dental, we view general dentistry as a collaborative effort. We join hands with you, merging our professional expertise with your personal goals to create a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and lifestyle. We're committed to providing you with a comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free dental experience, resulting in a healthier, happier smile. We aim to be your trusted partners in achieving excellent oral health and creating the smile of your dreams.
