Frequently Asked Questions
How do missing teeth impact more than just my smile?
Missing teeth can lead to bone loss in your jaw, shifting of remaining teeth, changes in bite alignment, difficulty speaking clearly, nutritional challenges due to limited food choices, and increased risk of gum disease and additional tooth loss. These issues compound over time, making early intervention important.
What immediate steps should I take for a broken tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply cold compresses for swelling, take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed, and call our office immediately. Save any broken pieces in milk or saliva. We reserve emergency appointments daily and can often see you the same day to prevent further damage or infection.
Is a dental implant right for my specific situation?
>Dental implants are ideal for most adults with good general health and adequate bone density. During your consultation, Dr. Aptaker will evaluate your oral health, medical history, and lifestyle factors to determine if implants are appropriate for you or if alternative solutions might better address your needs.
Understanding the investment: Are dental implants worth the cost?
While the initial cost of implants may be higher than other options, they typically prove more cost-effective long-term. Implants can last a lifetime with proper care, unlike bridges or dentures that require replacement. We offer flexible financing options to make this permanent solution accessible for most budgets.
"My case is severe" - Why it's never too late for dental restoration
We regularly help patients with advanced dental challenges achieve remarkable transformations. Modern techniques and technologies allow us to address even the most complex cases. Dr. Aptaker specializes in full-mouth rehabilitation and has restored hope for countless patients who believed their situation was beyond help.
Our Promise: What our judgment-free approach means for you
We understand dental anxiety often stems from past negative experiences. Our team practices empathetic, non-judgmental care focused solely on your comfort and future health—never on past dental decisions. We listen first, explain options clearly, and respect your choices about treatment timing and approach.
Beyond restorative care: Can you handle all my dental needs?
Absolutely. While we excel in restorative dentistry, Shore Points provides comprehensive care including preventive cleanings, cosmetic procedures, periodontal treatments, and routine check-ups. Our goal is to be your single trusted resource for maintaining excellent oral health throughout your life.
Seeking clarity: How our second opinion consultations work
We offer thorough second opinion consultations where Dr. Aptaker will review your existing treatment plan, examine your current oral health status, and discuss alternative approaches if appropriate. There's no obligation, and many insurance plans cover second opinions, giving you confidence in your dental decisions.
