Embrace Quality Dental Care at Zen Dental Studio

Most dental professionals recommend scheduling a dental exam and cleaning every six months. However, this frequency may vary depending on your individual oral health needs and risk factors. Our team will work with you to determine the most appropriate schedule for maintaining your dental health.

During a dental exam at Zen Dental Studio, we will thoroughly evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of dental issues. This may include checking for cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Digital x-rays may be taken to assess your teeth and jaw more accurately. Based on the findings, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan to address any dental concerns and maintain your oral health.

Dental x-rays are a safe and essential diagnostic tool in dentistry. At Zen Dental Studio, we use digital x-rays, which emit significantly less radiation compared to traditional film x-rays. The frequency of x-rays depends on your oral health and risk factors. Our dental professionals will determine the appropriate interval for x-rays to minimize radiation exposure while ensuring accurate and timely detection of dental issues.

Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent tooth decay. Sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, as their teeth are more prone to cavities. However, adults without fillings or decay can also benefit from dental sealants.

Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. While fluoride is present in many toothpastes and some water supplies, additional professional fluoride treatments at Zen Dental Studio can provide an extra layer of protection for patients at high risk of developing cavities or those with sensitive teeth. Our dental professionals will assess your individual needs and recommend fluoride treatments as appropriate.

A dental crown may be recommended if you have a severely damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth that cannot be restored with a filling or other dental procedures. Our dental professionals at Zen Dental Studio will carefully assess your dental condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment option to restore the strength and appearance of your tooth.

At Zen Dental Studio, we offer a variety of dental crown materials to suit your needs, including porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and zirconia. Our dental professionals will discuss the benefits and limitations of each material and recommend the best option for your specific situation.

Dental crowns typically last between 5 to 15 years, depending on the material used and your oral hygiene habits. To care for your dental crown, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups and cleanings. Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools, as this may damage the crown.

At Zen Dental Studio, we offer tooth-colored composite fillings, which provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to tooth decay. These fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring the function and appearance of your smile.

The time required for a dental filling depends on the size and location of the cavity, as well as the type of filling material used. Generally, a dental filling procedure takes about 30 - 90 minutes. At Zen Dental Studio, our experienced dental professionals ensure efficient and comfortable filling procedures tailored to your needs.

After getting a dental filling, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Avoid chewing on hard objects or ice, as it may damage the filling. Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure the longevity of your filling and monitor your overall oral health.

The duration of a root canal treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the tooth being treated. Generally, a root canal treatment takes one to two appointments, with each appointment lasting 60 to 90 minutes. At Zen Dental Studio, our dental providers will provide you with an estimated treatment time based on your specific situation.

Some common signs that you may need a root canal include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the affected tooth, and darkening of the tooth. However, some cases may not exhibit any symptoms. Regular dental check-ups at Zen Dental Studio can help detect and address any dental issues before they progress and require more extensive treatments.

During a tooth extraction at Zen Dental Studio, our dental professionals will ensure your comfort by administering local anesthesia to numb the area. Once the area is numb, the tooth will be carefully removed using specialized dental instruments. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote a smooth healing process.

After a tooth extraction, it's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our dental professionals. These may include applying an ice pack to reduce swelling, taking prescribed medications as needed, avoiding strenuous activities, and maintaining a soft food diet for a few days. Most patients recover within one to two weeks following a tooth extraction.

There are several options for replacing a missing tooth after an extraction, including dental implants, dental bridges, and partial dentures. At Zen Dental Studio, our dental professionals will discuss the pros and cons of each option and help you choose the best solution for your unique needs.
