Frequently Asked Questions – Gentle Dental
The following are answers to some of the questions most commonly asked by our patients at Gentle Dental. For more specific information about any of our treatments, from porcelain veneers to Zoom!® teeth whitening, please contact our Queens dental practice, serving Flushing, Bayside, and surrounding communities, today.
If I wish to achieve whiter teeth, what options are available to me?
As a patient of Gentle Dental, you can expect to receive fully individualized attention and customized care. Depending on your needs and goals, this may entail a single whitening procedure or a more comprehensive approach involving a combination of procedures. Among the options we offer to restore the color of your teeth are porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and Zoom!® teeth whitening. Our Queens practice, serving Flushing, Bayside, and other area residents, has helped countless patients achieve their ideal smiles, and we would be pleased to do the same for you. Whatever your treatment plan, you can be assured that your results will be as dramatic or as subtle as you wish.
If I undergo Zoom!® teeth whitening at your Queens practice, how long will it take for me to achieve optimal results?
Through Zoom!® teeth whitening, our Flushing, Bayside, and other Queens-area patients are able to achieve dramatically whiter teeth after a single office appointment, usually lasting about an hour. Although visually impressive results are immediate, some patients find that their teeth become even whiter within a couple of days of undergoing the Zoom!® teeth whitening procedure. In any event, your teeth will be breathtakingly whiter, dazzling results that can last for years with proper maintenance and oral hygiene.
I am a long-time denture wearer who is dissatisfied with the look and feel of my current dentures. Can you help me?
At Gentle Dental, we are only too pleased to welcome patients with complex dental problems, including ill-fitting dentures, to our practice. Our cosmetic dentures are crafted with extraordinary care and precision to ensure that they not only look but also feel completely natural. Because we use only the finest materials at Gentle Dental, our dentures are remarkably hard-wearing and durable, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with utter confidence.
I have always been anxious about going to the dentist. Why should I schedule an appointment with Gentle Dental?
There are many people who share your particular anxiety, an anxiety that our dental professionals both understand and empathize with. This is why we take special care in catering to those patients who have entrusted us with their oral health despite their general apprehensions about visiting a dentist. We have gone to every length possible to feature the most advanced and effective technologies so that we are able to provide virtually painless treatment for a range of dental problems. Perhaps more importantly, our compassionate cosmetic dentists and staff will be completely focused on your overall comfort and satisfaction. As a patient of Gentle Dental, you can expect to be treated with the respect, patience, and kindness you deserve. We take your anxieties seriously, and it is our goal to earn your trust by providing you with the most pleasant and pain-free dental experience possible.
I have resisted visiting a dentist in the past because I simply cannot bear traditional dental drills. What alternatives are available to me?
Our precise, extremely effective dental laser can perform the work of a traditional dental drill in most cases. This dental laser is a remarkably quiet device that produces no heat or vibration and can generally be used without an anesthetic. Quick, accurate, and comfortable, this revolutionary laser dentistry technology has radically transformed the way most of our patients regard a trip to the dentist.
Do you accept emergency cases?
Absolutely. Unfortunately, tooth pain and other oral health problems do not adhere to a foreseeable schedule. If you have a dental emergency, we are happy to accommodate you. We will give you the attention you need promptly and efficiently, doing whatever is necessary to alleviate your discomfort. We will also gladly schedule a follow-up appointment if you need more permanent, long-term treatment.
How long do the results of cosmetic dentistry last?
The effectiveness of any cosmetic dentistry treatment is heavily dependent on many factors, including the experience and talent of the dentist performing the procedure, the quality of the materials used, and the technology featured in the office. Patients of Gentle Dental can expect that we will hold ourselves to only the highest standards of professionalism, care, safety, and attention to detail. Our dental professionals share an unerring commitment to the satisfaction, comfort, and overall health of their patients. This means that, with proper care and maintenance, your results will last for many years, whatever the procedure. Whatever the industry standard is for durability of a certain treatment, you can rely on Gentle Dental to meet or exceed it.
