Answers to FAQs
My lower denture is loose. What can the doctor do to make it more secure?
Lower dentures are notorious for losing their secure fit. Without the chewing forces of natural teeth, jawbone mass diminishes and gums shrink, causing dentures to slip. Dr. Ho secures loose dentures with dental implants. Tiny titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone will hold your denture securely in place. Call today to schedule a consultation and discover the benefits of implant-supported dentures from Dr. Ho.
Do you accept my dental insurance?
We accept Delta Dental insurance. Our front-office staff electronically files all insurance claims after accepting payment for services rendered. To make your dental work affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods and offer payment plans for qualified applicants. Call to learn more.
What are my options to replace missing teeth?
Dr. Ho offers many options to replace missing teeth, including fixed bridges, dentures, and dental implants. In most cases, dental implants can provide a stable, long-lasting, and esthetically pleasing alternative to traditional replacement methods. An implant post inserted in the jawbone functions as a tooth root to securely anchor a custom crown, denture, partial, or bridge. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth and last most patients a lifetime with proper care. Schedule your implant dentistry consultation today and learn if dental implants are right for you.
What is smile design?
Smile design is the art and science of creating beautiful smiles. As a renowned cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ho knows what it takes to create a stunning smile. He assesses a variety of factors, including facial shape, skin tone, and hair coloring, to craft custom dental solutions suited to the desires of each individual patient. Your new smile will reflect your unique personality and enhance your overall appearance. Contact us today to schedule your complimentary cosmetic dentistry consultation.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Absolutely. In fact, dentist-administered teeth whitening is one of the safest treatments available, and the most requested cosmetic dentistry treatment. Dr. Ho offers in-office bleaching with Rembrandt laser teeth whitening, as well as take-home bleaching. He’ll assess your degree of dental staining and discuss your expectations to recommend the teeth whitening method that’s right for you. Call today to claim your dazzling smile!
