Preventative Dental Visits
Our office emphasizes the importance of routine visits to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Dental cleanings and exams every six months help us clean your mouth thoroughly and find dental concerns as they develop. These visits also give you a chance to ask questions about your oral health and get advice on how to care for your smile at home.
We also offer routine treatments like tooth extractions. You can get quick and comfortable extractions in one office visit. Many patients think extractions are painful, but removing problem teeth can relieve tooth pain and sensitivity.
Custom-Made Porcelain Veneers
Some cosmetic treatments only address a single issue. Teeth whitening can lift tooth stains, and braces or clear aligners can straighten crooked teeth. But dental veneers are a versatile cosmetic treatment option. Veneers can use a composite or porcelain material to cover chipped, cracked, stained, and misshapen teeth.
At Dental Health Group, we work with local dental labs and ceramicists to craft high-quality porcelain veneers. We take precise impressions of your teeth for the best shape, color, and fit.
All-On-Four
All-on-four is a popular implant procedure that replaces an entire arch of teeth with as few as four dental implants. This allows patients to get all of the benefits of implants without the high cost of replacing every single tooth with an individual implant. Traditional dentures are removable and use suction and adhesive to stay in your mouth. All-on-four dentures lock in and stay in your mouth. You don’t have to remove them overnight.
All-on-Four is one of our restorative treatments that uses dental implants, a permanent solution that stays in your mouth. Implants have an incredibly low failure rate, and most patients keep them for their lifetime with no issues. While you may need to replace your denture over time, the implant posts are permanent.
The implant posts in your jaw prevent bone deterioration and can help spur bone regeneration. This gives them unmatched stability and allows patients to eat foods without dietary restrictions. They also eliminate the sagging look that happens when you’re missing teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to some of the most commonly asked questions patients have about our dental services in Chalfont, PA.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for the All-on-Four procedure?
You may be a good candidate if you’ve lost most or all of your teeth in one arch and have enough bone to support four strategically placed implants. It’s also ideal if you want a fixed, non-removable solution that looks and functions like natural teeth. A detailed exam with X-rays or a 3D scan is needed to confirm your bone quality and oral health. One of our dentists will also review your overall health so you’re a safe candidate for surgery.
When is a dental bridge a better option than a dental implant?
A bridge may be better if you’re missing one or two adjacent teeth and the surrounding teeth are healthy enough to support crowns. It’s also faster and less invasive than an implant, and ideal if you can’t undergo surgery or don’t have enough bone. In some cases, a bridge is chosen for cost or health limitations. Dr. Chanen will help you weigh the pros and cons based on your situation.
What types of dental sealants do you offer for children or adults?
Most offices offer clear or white resin-based sealants, which are applied to the grooves of molars to block out bacteria and food. For children, these are often placed as soon as permanent molars erupt. Some practices also offer sealants for adults with a higher risk of decay or deep grooves in their teeth. The application is quick, painless, and typically lasts several years with proper care.
Are your teeth whitening treatments safe for patients with sensitive teeth?
Yes, professional whitening can be safely customized for patients with sensitive teeth. We may use a lower-concentration gel or apply desensitizing agents before and after treatment. Take-home kits from the office can also offer more gradual results with less sensitivity. It’s best to discuss your specific concerns with our office before starting treatment.
Can veneers be used to fix small gaps between front teeth?
Yes, porcelain veneers are an excellent option for closing small gaps between front teeth. They’re bonded to the surface of your teeth and can be shaped to create a natural, even look. Veneers provide both cosmetic improvements and added durability. We will check your bite and spacing to see if veneers are right for you.
Will I need a bone graft before getting dental implants?
You might need a bone graft if your jawbone has thinned or shrunk in the area where the implant will go. This is common if the tooth has been missing for a long time or after certain types of trauma or disease. A 3D scan or X-ray will show if you have enough bone to support an implant. We will discuss options like grafting if additional support is needed.
