Invisalign
Braces Vs Invisalign
Invisalign® treatment uses cutting-edge 3-D computer imaging technology to create a treatment plan that guides you from the initial positioning of your teeth to your ideal final alignment.
The series of personalized aligners used are so discreet that they blend in seamlessly with your teeth when worn.
Sedation Dentistry
Releaving Anxiety
How Sedation Dentistry Works
With sedation dentistry, there’s finally a way around the anxiety of a dental visit. Through safe methods like oral or IV sedation or even a dose of nitrous oxide, you can stay awake but feel incredibly calm, almost as if you’re in a dream.
You’ll be able to chat with your dentist, but the usual unease and pain will feel like a distant memory, changing the entire experience into something far easier to manage.

- How often should I visit the dentist?
- Regular dental visits are the best way to keep your smile bright and healthy We recommend visiting the dentist every 6 months for a routine checkup and cleaning. For those with unique dental needs, more frequent visits are recommended.

Dental cleaning costs, dental implants, veneers and crowns, and teeth whitening
- How much does a cleaning cost without insurance?
- The cost of routine cleaning can vary widely based on whether it includes extra treatments such as fluoride or X-rays. We invite you to visit us for an initial examination, during which we will provide you with a detailed quote before any services are performed.
- What is the process for getting dental implants?
- The procedure typically consists of several stages including an initial consultation, potential bone grafting, the insertion of the implant, and finally, once the implant has healed, the attachment of the crown. This entire process may extend across a few months from beginning to end.
- What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
- Veneers are delicate porcelain shells that are applied to the front surfaces of teeth, mainly for enhancing their appearance. In contrast, crowns are designed to envelop an entire tooth and serve a restorative function when it has suffered damage or decay.
- Is teeth whitening safe?
- Professional teeth whitening is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified dentist. At Lelem Village, we utilize premium whitening agents while ensuring that your gums and soft tissues are adequately protected throughout the treatment.
Same day appointments, knocked out tooth, complex orthodontic issues, and root canals
- Do you offer emergency dental services?
- Yes, we offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies such as toothaches, broken teeth, and knocked-out teeth on any day we are open with a dentist on site and it is not to close to closing time.
- What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
- To keep the tooth hydrated, try to reinsert it into its socket or store it in milk, and please come see us right away, as the chances of successful re-implantation are highest within the first hour.
- Can I get Invisalign if I have complex orthodontic issues?
- Invisalign can treat many orthodontic issues, but severe cases might require traditional braces. We will assess your situation and recommend the best option for you during a consultation. We do not offer metal braces.
- How long does a root canal take?
- A root canal generally requires between 1 to 2 hours to complete and may need one or two appointments based on the tooth’s complexity and the severity of the infection.
Peventing cavities, starting childrens visits, flouride treatments
- How can I prevent cavities?
- Brushing with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, and regular dental cleanings are vital for good oral health, while reducing sugary snacks and drinks is crucial for preventing cavities.
- At what age should children start visiting the dentist?
- It is recommended that children have their initial dental appointment by their first birthday or no later than six months after the emergence of their first tooth.
- Can adults get fluoride treatments?
- Fluoride treatments offer great advantages for adults, particularly for those who are at higher risk of developing cavities, experiencing dry mouth, or suffering from gum disease.
Cosmetic Dentistry Questions - teeth whitening, veneers, chipped or cracked teeth
- How long does teeth whitening last?
- Professional teeth whitening lasts between 6 months to 2 years, depending on your oral care and dietary choices. To prolong the effects, limit foods and drinks that cause stains.
- Are veneers permanent?
- Veneers can last 10 to 15 years with the right care, but they are not a permanent solution. The process requires removing a small amount of enamel, making it a long-term decision.
- Can you fix chipped or cracked teeth?
- Absolutely, if your pearly whites are sporting a chip or a crack, don’t panic! We’ve got the perfect repair kit ready. Think of bonding, veneers, or crowns as your teeth’s superhero squad, swooping in to save the day depending on how serious the dental drama is.
