One of the biggest reasons patients don’t end up visiting the dentist is out of fear of the procedures, pain or due to a bad past experience. However, the longer patients delay in receiving treatment for their dental problems in Allen, TX, the worse they often become. Dr. Rebecca Bork and our team understand you may have many questions about some of the procedures like dental implants or your oral symptoms such as missing teeth or tooth pain, so we have created a quick dental FAQ on many common dental problems. What you may be surprised to hear is that overall, dentistry can be minimally invasive and offers a variety of solutions for your dental problems—not just one set-in-stone response.
Common dental problems that could cause your teeth to ache are gum recession or the development of gum disease. Addressing these concerns with your doctor sooner rather than later may help get ahead of the problem before it gets worse.
Dr. Bork offers multiple treatment options for discolored, dull teeth. Patients can receive cosmetic dental crowns, porcelain veneers, or professional teeth whitening.
Depending on your needs, crooked teeth can be corrected with porcelain veneers, dental crowns or Invisalign®.
Headaches and migraines can be signs of TMJ disorder. We offer custom oral appliances to help adjust and protect your teeth to prevent further pain.
Dental implants act like your natural teeth and are the only permanent tooth replacement option. Implants replace a single tooth.
The cost of dental implants relies on many factors depending on your needs, including your unique oral condition, the number of teeth missing and their location in your jaw, the severity of jaw bone loss, etc.
