  • What are veneers?

    Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Made from high-quality materials, veneers can correct issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment.

  • How long do veneers last?

    With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last 10-15 years or longer, providing you with a beautiful, confident smile.

  • What is the difference between cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry?

    Cosmetic dentistry focuses primarily on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile, while restorative dentistry aims to restore the function and health of damaged or missing teeth. However, many procedures like veneers, crowns, and dental implants serve both cosmetic and restorative purposes, enhancing both appearance and functionality.

  • What are same-day crowns?

    Same-day crowns are dental crowns that can be designed, created, and placed in a single visit to our office. Using advanced dental technology, we can fabricate a custom crown while you wait, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. This efficient process saves you time while providing durable, natural-looking results.

  • How do dental implants compare to dentures?

    Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that are surgically anchored into the jawbone, providing stability and function similar to natural teeth. Dentures are removable appliances that rest on the gums. Dental implants offer superior stability, preserve bone structure, and don't require adhesives. However, dentures can be an excellent, more affordable option for patients who are not candidates for implants or prefer a removable solution.

  • When is a root canal necessary?

    A root canal becomes necessary when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma. Symptoms may include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth discoloration, and swelling of the gums. 

  • What are tooth-colored fillings?

    Tooth-colored fillings, also called composite fillings, are made from a durable resin material that matches the natural color of your teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with your smile while providing strong, long-lasting protection for cavities. They require less removal of healthy tooth structure and bond directly to the tooth for added strength.

  • When is wisdom teeth removal necessary?

    Wisdom teeth removal is recommended when these third molars cause problems such as impaction, crowding, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Many patients have their wisdom teeth removed preventatively to avoid future complications. 

  • What should I expect during my first visit?

    Your first visit to Drgac Dental includes a comprehensive dental examination, digital X-rays if needed, and a consultation with Dr. Drgac to discuss your dental health and any concerns. We'll review your medical and dental history, assess your oral health, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
