The team at Denise DiBona, DDS, LLC wants to you to be informed about our services and dentistry in general. Below, you’ll find a few of the most common questions patients have for us and our answers. Call us today at 732-945-5343 with any questions of your own that you don’t see in our Red Bank FAQ. We’re always happy to help!
Prevention is key! We recommend that you brush with a fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day and floss once a day. We also want you to see us twice a year for professional dental cleanings and have your mouth screened for oral cancer and gum disease.
Gum disease and severe dental decay can cause inflammation and infections that travel throughout your bloodstream. Oral issues like these have been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other serious conditions. It is important for us to see you regularly to check for and treat any problems to avoid medical complications.
Sleep apnea is marked by blockage in your airway while you sleep. It is linked to heart disease and stroke and can be a life-threatening condition if it is not treated properly. Sleep apnea also leaves you feeling tired and can affect your alertness, mood, and blood pressure. Dr. DiBona and our team offer several sleep apnea solutions to help you breathe, prevent complications, and get a good night’s sleep! Many of our patients find a custom-made sleep appliance far more comfortable and convenient to use than a CPAP machine.
Your child’s teeth can be straightened through a variety of our orthodontic services. We will recommend the best treatment for your child based on his or her needs. We offer both traditional braces and Invisalign for teens. We also offer preventive orthodontics for children as young as 7.
While a dental restoration, like a crown or bridge, looks and functions like a natural tooth, securing it to a dental implant makes all the difference in your bite strength and long-term oral health outlook. The implant acts as a new artificial tooth root. To learn more about our dental implants options, call Denise DiBona, DDS, LLC today at 732-945-5343.
Dental implants are small posts made of titanium that can be inserted into your jaw where you have teeth missing. They act as artificial teeth roots that we can support new replacement teeth. Not only do implants make it possible to get back a complete smile and strong bite again, they also protect your jawbone against deterioration. In short, implants are a great investment with many benefits.
There is no one right answer. It will depend on multiple factors, including the number of teeth you need to replace and your overall oral health. Because they look, feel, and function so much like natural teeth, dental implants work well for many patients. But if you’d prefer not to get implants, you can choose a conventional dental bridge or dentures instead.
