Frequently Asked Dental Questions Cleburne

What are the signs of gum disease?

Around 80% of Americans have some form of gum disease, which is why it’s important to get your gum tissue examined regularly at Long Family Dental. Obvious signs of periodontal infection are bleeding, discoloration, swelling/tenderness, and the gums pulling away from the teeth. Learn about our periodontal therapy options by following this link, or request an appointment today if you’re overdue for a checkup.

Should I get dental implants?

Missing teeth can cause embarrassment and oral health problems. Patients with missing teeth are at a higher risk for gum disease and tooth loss as well. Dental implants succeed because they mimic real tooth roots. Your jawbone fuses around the fixtures and keeps your jaw strong. They have a more than 96% success rate! Implants can be used to place single tooth restorations or implant-retained dentures, depending on the patient’s needs. At Long Family Dental, we used the latest advances in dental technologies to place and restore your dental implants seamlessly.
