Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Victor Terranova, D

Sourced directly from Dr. Victor Terranova, D's social posts and replies.

What is LANAP and why does Advanced Dental Center prefer it for gum disease treatment?
LANAP, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is a precise, minimally invasive technique that is transforming gum disease treatment. The practice prefers LANAP over traditional methods because it offers less discomfort, minimal bleeding, and faster healing for patients.
Does Advanced Dental Center offer single-day dental treatments?
Yes, Advanced Dental Center offers single-day dental treatments, including both root canal and crown procedures, thanks to their cutting-edge technology. Patients can often walk in with pain and leave with a perfectly restored, healthy smile after a single visit.
What is Digital Bite Analysis and how does Advanced Dental Center use it?
Advanced Dental Center has introduced Digital Bite Analysis, a cutting-edge tool that allows them to assess a patient's bite in real-time. This technology provides precise and instant insights into misalignments or issues causing discomfort or uneven wear, eliminating guesswork and helping patients understand their bite function.
What are the signs of gum disease and why is early treatment important?
Early gum disease (gingivitis) may cause red, swollen, or bleeding gums and can often be reversed with professional care. However, if left untreated, inflammation can progress, leading to deterioration of supporting tissues and bone, potentially causing loose teeth, shifting, or tooth loss. Patients should schedule a periodontal evaluation promptly if they notice frequently bleeding, receding, or swollen gums, loose or shifting adult teeth, persistent bad breath, pain when chewing, or changes in how teeth fit together. Early diagnosis allows for more treatment options to protect teeth and supporting tissues.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign at Advanced Dental Center?
Teens and adults experiencing crowding, gaps, crooked teeth, or bite concerns may be good candidates for Invisalign. During a consultation, the practice will determine the most suitable treatment option for a patient's smile.
Why are regular dental exams and cleanings important, even without symptoms?
Many dental conditions, including early tooth decay, gingivitis, and small cracks, can develop without obvious pain or symptoms. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings are crucial because they help identify these issues early, often leading to simpler and less expensive treatment. They also provide an opportunity to screen for oral cancer and prevent small concerns from becoming more complicated, protecting your teeth, gums, smile, and budget. Your ideal checkup schedule will be determined based on your individual oral health needs.
