If you haven’t been to the dentist in a long time or you simply are considering a treatment that you don’t know much about, it can leave you feeling hesitant to visit in the first place. That’s why Dr. Ifraitekh has included a basic FAQ section highlighting the most common dental questions we receive as well as detailed answers. We hope that they give you additional confidence as you plan your next appointment.
Invisalign is not ideal for everyone, which us why it’s so important to have an Invisalign consultation completed beforehand. This way, we can confirm if clear aligners will effectively shift your teeth into a straighter position safely and effectively. If you have mild to moderate levels of misalignment, crowding, or crooked teeth, you’ll likely be eligible for treatment. Keep in mind that more severe cases, especially those affecting back teeth, are more likely to require traditional orthodontics.
Our dental office works with specialists to have dental implants. These are some of the most experienced implant dentists in Austin and they can ensure that your future tooth replacements will last for a very long time. With that said, we do provide implant-retained restorations that keep your bite even and look incredibly natural. They are also designed to last a very long time, typically several decades when practicing daily oral care.
Absolutely! We perform multiple forms of oral surgery in-house, so you don’t necessarily need to go to another location just to have your treatment completed. Whether you need a root canal completed to save a damaged tooth, a severely damaged tooth extracted, or a problematic wisdom tooth removed to stop crowding and prevent oral infections, Dr. Ifraitekh is ready to help!
There are millions of Americans who struggle to get treatments completed simply because they have anxiety or dental fear. This is often the case if they had a poor experience with a previous dentist. Not only do we always take the time to listen to your concerns and walk you through the treatment process, but we also provide nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation for those in need of dental sedatives. Both of them vary in strength, so you can get a treatment that meets your specific needs.
Most patients only need to visit the dentist once every six months. This allows us to catch dental issues before they have a chance to cause significant problems as well as remove dental plaque and tartar from teeth. If you have gum disease, you’ll need to visit once every three to four months. We recommend that your child has their first dental visit by the time their first baby tooth erupts.
We have multiple solutions for repairing and restoring damaged teeth at Snow Dental. This includes tooth-colored fillings and dental crowns. We also place dental bridges, dentures, and work with specialists to place dental implants. It doesn’t matter if you need to replace single teeth or all the teeth in your arch, we’ll work with you to create a dental plan that meets your needs.
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, don’t wait to give us a call. A dental emergency could be tooth pain that does not go away or a damaged/knocked-out tooth. If you suffer from a broken jaw or severe oral bleeding, get to an emergency room first, then give our office a call. Otherwise, we’ll do our best to see you the same day as your emergency.
