Frequently Asked Questions
Your Guide to Emergency Dental Care, Implants, and Painless Treatments
What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of regular office hours?
If you're experiencing a dental emergency after hours, please call Dental Care of Sterling at our emergency line. We offer prompt attention to urgent issues like severe tooth pain, broken teeth, or lost fillings. Dr. Kalra and our team are committed to ensuring you're as comfortable as possible, and we'll guide you through the next steps until we can get you in for treatment.
Are dental implants a good option for me?
Dental implants are an excellent choice for patients who have lost a tooth or teeth due to injury, decay, or other reasons. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. During your consultation at Dental Care of Sterling, Dr. Kalra will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if you're a good candidate for implants. Most patients with healthy gums and enough jawbones are eligible.
Does Dental Care of Sterling offer painless dental treatments?
Yes, at Dental Care of Sterling, we prioritize your comfort. We offer a variety of pain-free options, including sedation dentistry, local anesthesia, and laser treatments to ensure you feel as relaxed and pain-free as possible during procedures. Whether it's a routine cleaning or a more complex treatment, Dr. Kalra and the team will make sure you're comfortable every step of the way.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The dental implant process typically takes several months to complete. This is because the implant needs time to fully fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. On average, the entire procedure may take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Dr. Kalra will provide you with a personalized timeline after evaluating your individual needs.
What are the signs that I might need an emergency dentist?
If you experience any of the following, it’s time to contact Dental Care of Sterling for emergency dental care:
Severe tooth pain or swelling
Broken, cracked, or knocked-out teeth
Persistent bleeding from the gums or mouth
Lost dental restorations, like crowns or fillings
Abscess or infection
Even if you're unsure, it’s always better to call us, as we can help assess the situation and advise you on the best course of action.
How can I prevent dental emergencies from happening?
While not all dental emergencies are preventable, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk:
Wear a mouthguard if you play contact sports.
Avoid chewing hard foods or objects like ice, pens, or hard candy.
Practice good oral hygiene and visit us regularly for check-ups.
Address any dental issues promptly, such as cavities or loose fillings, before they become emergencies.
By following these tips and visiting Dental Care of Sterling regularly, you can help maintain a healthy smile and avoid unexpected dental issues.
