Frequently Asked Questions

I want to improve my smile. What would you recommend?

For slightly crooked or unevenly worn teeth, bonding or porcelain veneers can give your teeth a bright, uniform look. Whitening can transform your smile from dull to dazzling by erasing stains and discoloration. We also use composite fillings and all-porcelain restorations to repair problems or replace worn metal fillings. Talk to Dr. Wenninger about what you want from dentistry, and he’ll recommend the best options for your unique smile.

 

What makes CEREC so special?

The revolutionary CEREC system allows the doctor to create and place porcelain crowns, onlays, or inlays in one appointment. In the past, patients had to come in to have an impression made and wear a temporary until the permanent restoration was built. With CEREC, the doctor can construct a computer model of the repair and mill the necessary porcelain pieces in one visit, saving you time and money. You will literally have stronger, healthier teeth when you leave the office.

 

My smile is missing teeth. What are my options for replacement teeth?

When you have missing teeth, your oral health and confidence suffer. Dental implants represent the newest and most permanent way to replace missing teeth. Implants are basically artificial tooth roots that the doctor surgically places into the jawbone. A permanent prosthetic tooth is then attached to the post. This repair will restore the function and appearance of your smile. We also offer crown and bridgework to give patients solid, spectacular smiles.

 

My teeth are stained. How can I safely whiten them?

You can safely brighten your smile with many different teeth whitening products, including over-the-counter systems. However, our in-office whitening will give you immediate results. We will also provide you with custom trays and professional-strength whitening gel to continue your treatment at home, which will allow you to see a dramatic difference in the appearance of your teeth in just a few weeks.

 

What makes yours different than any other dental practice I can visit?

Our commitment to helping you achieve and then maintain the best possible oral health means that we take time to understand your dental history and evaluate the best options for your particular dental needs. To help you understand everything from preventive care to your cosmetic options, we utilize CAESY, a thorough patient education system. We use the latest technology and a gentle touch so that patients have a comprehensive, but comfortable experience. Most of all, we love our patients.

 

What insurance and payment methods do you accept?

We know that paying for dental treatment can raise your stress level, so we try to make the process as easy as possible. My office staff will file claims with your insurance, and we also accept cash, check, credit cards, and CareCredit for third-party financing. Call us with any questions.
