Answers from The Issaquah Dentists
Dr. Ron Sherman and Dr. Rusul wants you to feel informed, empowered, and confident about your visit.
- How Often Should I See the Dentist?
Dr. Sherman and Dr. Rusul and the American Dental Association (ADA) recommend that patients of all ages visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and cleanings. This ensures a thorough examination of your smile and helps detect any decay, damage, infections, or abnormalities early on. Regular visits also keep your mouth free of plaque and tartar that can lead to gum disease. See what routine treatments we have on our preventative dentistry page.
- How Can I Replace My Missing Teeth?
You can replace missing teeth in three main ways: dental bridges, dentures, or dental implants. Each option has its benefits, but dental implants are considered the most superior. They provide a more permanent solution with better functionality for eating, speaking, and smiling. Implants can also last 30+ years, offering a long-term improvement to your quality of life.
- Will My Veneers Look Natural?
Absolutely! With Dr. Sherman’s and Dr. Rusul’s expertise as trained cosmetic dentists, your customized dental veneers will look and feel completely natural. He takes precise digital impressions of your teeth and ensures that all specifications are met for a flawless fit. This careful placement guarantees that your veneers will blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
- Will You Take My Dental Insurance?
Yes, The Issaquah Dentist gladly accepts all types of PPO dental insurance plans. Our team is dedicated to maximizing your benefits and helping you save on your dental care. We will assist in identifying ways to get the most out of your plan before it expires at the end of the year and handle the paperwork and claims to minimize your stress.
- Should I Still Seek Treatment for a Toothache That No Longer Hurts?
Even if a toothache has subsided, it’s important to seek treatment. The pain might have stopped, but that doesn’t mean the underlying problem is resolved. The discomfort might not be triggering nerve signals anymore, so it’s best to keep your appointment with our team to ensure there are no ongoing issues.
- Will I Need a Retainer After Wearing Invisalign®?
Yes, wearing a retainer after Invisalign® treatment is necessary. Teeth can shift back to their original positions without the support of a retainer, potentially undoing the progress you’ve made. By wearing a retainer as recommended, you can maintain your straighter, healthier smile and ensure long-lasting results.
