Frequently Asked Questions

Dental Health FAQs

• How often should I visit the dentist?

  We recommend twice-annual visits to the dentist. These regular six-month visits allow our team to:

  • Monitor your oral health consistently
  • Diagnose and treat issues early
  • Remove hardened plaque through professional cleaning
  • Prevent tooth decay and gum disease

• Can my children visit your Dental Clinic?

  Absolutely. We welcome patients of all ages at Winchester Dental Studio and provide skilled pediatric dentistry services for your most precious smiles.

• What does root canal therapy consist of?

  Root canal therapy involves removing infection from the tooth’s pulp layer. After clearing the infection, we restore the tooth, typically with a dental crown for protection. While root canals have a reputation for being painful, it’s actually the infection that causes pain – the treatment provides significant relief.

• What if I’m afraid of the dentist?

  Your comfort is our priority. For patients with severe dental anxiety, we offer:

  • Sedation dentistry options to help you relax
  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation
  • A caring, understanding approach to dental care

• Am I a candidate for dental implants?

  Dental implants are versatile tooth replacement options that provide stable, permanent results. While they’re an excellent solution for many patients, not everyone is a suitable candidate. A consultation with our team will determine your eligibility, particularly considering factors like overall health and immune system function.

• Do you offer teeth whitening?

  Yes, we offer multiple whitening options:

  • In-office zoom bleaching
  • At-home whitening with custom application trays
  • Professional-grade gel

  Dr. Radwa Sobieh will help determine the most effective treatment for your smile.

• Are you available in case of emergency?

  Yes, we offer same-day emergency appointments when possible.

• What is gum disease?

  Gum disease (periodontal disease) affects over 75% of US adults. It develops when bacteria and dietary sugars form plaque below the gum line. There are two main stages:

  • Gingivitis: Early stage with red or bleeding gums
  • Periodontitis: Advanced stage with sores and infection

• Can I straighten my teeth without the hassle of traditional braces?

  Yes! We offer Invisalign clear alignment trays as an alternative to traditional braces. Dr. Radwa Sobieh is a preferred Invisalign provider who can help you achieve your ideal smile discreetly.
