Frequently Asked Dental Questions – Rexburg, Id

If the tooth in question is a baby tooth, then obviously it doesn’t need to be replaced, although we’ll still need to check for damage. But when a permanent tooth is lost, it’s better to replace it than to leave the gap empty. Call us immediately to schedule a consultation to ask about dental implants or other methods of tooth replacement.

Veneers and Lumineers can both be used to make multiple corrections (such as covering cracks, hiding stains, and closing gaps) with just one simple treatment. Direct bonding may be a good option for those that just want to give their smile a touch-up. For those who want to improve the natural color of their teeth, both in-practice and at-home whitening can be highly effective. We can help you explore these options more thoroughly during a cosmetic consultation.

Common signs of a dental emergency include significant oral pain, broken or knocked-out teeth, oral bleeding, persistent growth or sores in the mouth, a strange metal taste, a severe toothache, or a locked jaw. Call our dental office immediately to make an appointment; you don’t want to wait too long before receiving care.
