How does your office help alleviate anxiety in fearful patients?
Many people just need compassionate coaching and encouragement. Our staff is skilled at supporting people through the anxieties that sometimes accompany dental work. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) also greatly helps to alleviate anxiety. However, the most predictable means for overcoming anxiety is with sedation dentistry. Our sedation regimes are safe and effective and provide patients with a positive experience. Sedation treatment does require patients to be accompanied by someone for the remainder of the day.
Does your office provide cosmetic procedures?
We provide our patients with smile makeovers primarily through in-office whitening and porcelain veneers. We accomplish tooth whitening with very predictable results by performing the procedure in the office. However, tooth whitening is not permanent whitening. Permanent whitening is done with veneers and crowns made of state-of-the-art ceramic materials.
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend visiting the dentist for a check-up and cleaning at least twice a year. Patients with specific dental issues may need to come in more frequently.
What can I do to improve my dental health?
Regular brushing twice a day, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco products are key to maintaining good dental health. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial.
What measures do you take to ensure patient safety and sanitation?
Our practice follows strict sterilization and infection control protocols recommended by leading dental associations. This includes the use of PPE, sterilization of instruments, and disinfection of surfaces between each patient. Additionally, our office is equipped with a Surgically Clean Air filtration/air sterilization system.
Does Dr. Moussalli place implants?
Yes, Dr. Moussalli started placing implants in 1985. We provide implant-based solutions ranging from single-tooth replacement implants to replacing all teeth. We incorporate the latest biotechnologies including 3D imaging, bone and soft tissue grafting procedures, mini implants, and platelet-rich fibrin.
How much does an implant cost?
It is not possible to say what a patient will pay for an implant given the widely varying circumstances and treatment options that exist for each individual person. However, with implant consultations, we offer ½ off our 3D imaging fee to make it easy for you to get a quote.
