Questions About Dental Treatments

How often should I visit the dentist for a cleaning and checkup?

Most dental professionals recommend visiting your dentist every six months for a routine dental cleaning and oral exam. However, patients with gum disease, a history of cavities, or other oral health concerns may need to come in more frequently. At Bold Image Dentistry, we’ll assess your individual needs and recommend the right schedule to keep your smile healthy year-round. Call us at (321) 722-2688 to book your next visit.

What is non-surgical periodontal therapy, and do I need it?

Non-surgical periodontal therapy — often called a deep cleaning or scaling and root planing — is a treatment for gum disease that goes below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar buildup. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health complications. At Bold Image Dentistry, we offer non-surgical periodontal therapy as part of our comprehensive general dentistry services in Palm Bay, FL. During your exam, our team will assess your gum health and let you know if this treatment is recommended for you.

What are the benefits of dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and minor misalignment. Veneers are durable, natural-looking, and can dramatically transform your smile in just a couple of visits. As part of our cosmetic dentistry services at Bold Image Dentistry in Palm Bay, FL, veneers offer a long-lasting smile makeover solution tailored to your unique goals.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency — such as a severe toothache, broken tooth, knocked-out tooth, or lost crown — call Bold Image Dentistry immediately at (321) 722-2688. We provide emergency dentistry services to patients in Palm Bay, FL and surrounding areas. Prompt treatment can make a significant difference in saving a tooth and minimizing pain. Do not wait — contact us right away and we will do our best to see you as quickly as possible.

What is a dental implant restoration, and am I a candidate?

Dental implant restorations involve placing a crown, bridge, or denture on top of a dental implant post that has been surgically placed into the jawbone. This provides a stable, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Good candidates are generally those with adequate bone density and healthy gums. At Bold Image Dentistry in Palm Bay, FL, our team will evaluate your oral health to determine whether implant restorations are the right solution for you. Call (321) 722-2688 to schedule a consultation.

How does Zoom 1-hour teeth whitening work?

Zoom 1-hour whitening is an in-office teeth whitening treatment that uses a professionally applied bleaching gel activated by a special light to break up stains and discoloration. In just one appointment, patients can see their teeth become significantly whiter. It is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments we offer at Bold Image Dentistry in Palm Bay, FL because of how fast and effective it is. Results are immediate and can last for months with proper care.

What is an oral cancer screening, and should I get one?

An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless examination performed during your dental visit to check for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth, throat, and jaw. Early detection is critical to successful treatment. At Bold Image Dentistry, we recommend routine oral cancer screenings for all adult patients, especially those who use tobacco or alcohol. This screening is typically incorporated into your regular oral exam, making it easy to stay proactive about your health.

What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?

A dental crown is a cap that covers a single damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to neighboring natural teeth or implants. Both are durable, long-lasting restorations offered as part of our general dentistry services at Bold Image Dentistry in Palm Bay, FL. Our team will help you determine which solution is best suited to your needs.
