My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?
Bleeding gums indicate gingivitis and possibly advanced gum disease. Our hygienist can educate you on effective flossing and brushing techniques to help eliminate the problem, but you do need to make an appointment for a thorough evaluation. Gum disease can lead to serious oral health complications and should never be ignored.

How long will my whitening treatment last?
Normally, teeth whitening lasts five to seven years. Drinking dark beverages, smoking, or consuming alcohol can reduce this time. Ask Dr. Strober for hints on maintaining your teeth’s brilliance.

Do you accept referrals?
We love to see patient referrals! We want each of our patients to leave our office fully satisfied that they have received the best clinical and customer care possible. If you feel comfortable referring your friends or family to us, then we’ve done our job.

What do you do to maintain a safe and sterilized environment?
Your safety is important to us, so we sterilize our reusable instruments in an autoclave and use disposable products as much as possible. Each operatory is cleaned thoroughly between patients. We adhere to guidelines set by the CDC and OSHA and perform weekly tests on our sterilization equipment.

What payment methods do you accept and what are my financing options?
Paying for your dental work should not be a stressful thing! We offer hassle-free, convenient payment methods including check, cash, or credit cards. We also accept third-party financing through CareCredit. You can visit their website for more information or to apply.

I avoid dental visits because of anxiety…is this normal? Can you help?

With oral conscious sedation, we can help you gain full peace of mind and body so that you can receive the dental work you need – and deserve.
