Frequently Asked Questions: Minneapolis Dentistry

 

We find that many patients have similar concerns when it comes to choosing a dental practice. We’ve gathered together some of the questions that we are most frequently asked, and given some brief answers. Remember, we’re always ready to discuss any dental topic in greater detail or to answer any other questions related to your dental care. All you have to do is call our Maple Grove dental office and ask.

Can you show me what my smile can look like ahead of time with imaging software?

Yes! The software that's available today allows us to take images of your current smile and manipulate them so that you can see the results that you would get with different types of dental procedures. Imaging software is a great tool that allows you to feel confident when choosing the way you want to proceed with your dental care.

I don't like drills. Are there any other options?

The Waterlase is a system that uses laser-energized water to wash away decay with no heat or discomfort. The procedure is so gentle that in many cases, work can be done without anesthetic.

Let us know if you feel uncomfortable with the drill, and we'll make every effort to use alternatives.

I really do not like visiting the dentist. Is there anything you can help me do to relax?

You don't have to neglect your dental health because you're fearful of receiving treatment. With oral sedation dentistry, you'll find your treatment is performed more comfortably than you ever thought possible.

At your initial visit we'll answer all your questions and then schedule your sedation appointment. On the morning of your appointment, you'll take a pill that will make you drowsy. You'll be unaware of time passing and probably not even aware of us working in your mouth. Throughout your dental treatment, our specially trained team will monitor you continually. The dental work that you need will be completed, and the experience will be a stress-free one for you.

Crowns, veneers, onlays, inlays and partials: Where can I learn more about these procedures.

We're always happy to sit down with you one on one to discuss any dental topic or treatment including crowns, veneers and other restorative and cosmetic services. We also use the interactive CAESY patient education system in our office. CAESY uses video, computer animation, 3-D graphics and easy-to-understand narration to help patients get a clear understanding of any dental issue or procedure.

I want my front teeth to look better, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?

Using porcelain veneers, Dr. Weimar has been able to make some amazing transformations in the appearance of patients' teeth in just a few visits. With veneers, you can get the smile you want without having to go through the discomfort and embarrassment of braces.

How can I safely whiten my teeth?

We can provide you with kits and instruct you in basic tooth whitening procedures, with materials that you can use to safely lighten your teeth at night or during the day. These procedures provide significant shade changes that will remain stable for three to five years.
