What services do you offer at Seaside Dentistry?
We provide comprehensive dental care including General Dentistry, Preventive Care, Restorative Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Orthodontics (Invisalign® and clear aligners), Dental Implants, Dentures, TMJ Treatments, Oral Surgery, Endodontics (root canals), Emergency Dentistry, and Sleep Solutions for snoring and sleep apnea.
How often should I visit the dentist for cleanings and checkups?
We recommend routine dental cleanings and exams every six months. These visits allow us to remove plaque and tartar, check for early signs of dental problems, and keep your smile healthy.
Do you accept same-day appointments for dental emergencies?
Yes. We strive to offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies and urgent care, including toothaches, broken teeth, and sudden oral pain. Call us at (251) 408-9468 to check availability.
What is Invisalign® and how does it work?
Invisalign® is a discreet orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into place. Aligners are removable for easy eating and cleaning, and they’re a great alternative to metal braces for many teens and adults.
Are dental implants a permanent solution for missing teeth?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term, permanent replacement for missing teeth. With proper care and regular dental visits, implants can last decades while maintaining natural appearance and function.
How do you treat TMJ disorders?
We offer customized TMJ treatment plans that may include oral appliances, bite adjustments, orofacial myology, and lifestyle recommendations. Our goal is to reduce jaw pain, improve function, and prevent further strain on the jaw joint.
What is the process for getting dentures or partial dentures?
The process begins with a consultation and impressions of your mouth, followed by custom fabrication of your dentures for a natural look and comfortable fit. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and function.
Can you help with snoring and sleep apnea without a CPAP machine?
Yes. We offer oral appliance therapy as a comfortable, quiet alternative for many patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or chronic snoring. These devices help keep your airway open throughout the night.
Do you offer sedation options for nervous patients?
Absolutely. We understand that dental visits can cause anxiety. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry and a calming office environment to ensure a stress-free, comfortable experience.
How do I schedule my first appointment?
You can call our office at (251) 408-9468 or request an appointment online through our website. We offer flexible scheduling, including same-day and emergency appointments when possible.
