04 Common Questions

Dental implant FAQs

Will I have a gap while my implant heals?

Temporary tooth options depend on the location of the missing tooth and your treatment plan. At your consultation, our team will explain what may work during healing.

Could I need treatment in addition to the implant?

Some cases need an extraction or bone grafting. We assess your teeth and bone, explain any additional care recommended and include it in your personalized estimate.

What will I learn at my consultation?

We discuss your concerns, possible treatment options, expected timing and payment choices. Our team will explain any further examination or imaging needed to complete your plan.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Your dentist considers your oral health, bone support, medical history and healing risks. Smoking and some health conditions can affect outcomes. An examination is needed to determine suitability.

Can I get an implant after a tooth extraction?

Discuss replacement planning before an extraction when possible. Ask whether placement at the time of extraction or a later appointment would be appropriate, and what temporary tooth options you would have while healing.

Are dental implants better than a bridge or dentures?

The right choice depends on your remaining teeth, oral health, budget and preferences. Compare the proposed options, including maintenance, surgery and expected treatment time, with your dentist.

What should I know about recovery and risks?

Implants involve surgery. Potential complications include infection, injury to nearby structures and implant failure. Ask about comfort measures, recovery instructions and your individual risks. Contact your dental provider promptly if an implant becomes loose or painful.

How long will my dental implant last?

There is no guaranteed lifespan. Health, healing, daily cleaning and follow-up care affect long-term results. Ask about maintenance and whether the replacement tooth or other components may need repair or replacement.

Oral sedation or laughing gas?

Different ways to relax

Oral sedation uses prescribed medication, while nitrous oxide is inhaled through a nose mask. Your health, anxiety and planned treatment help determine the appropriate option.

04 Common Questions

Oral Sedation
FAQs

Will I be asleep?

Oral sedation is not the same as general anesthesia. Your level of relaxation can vary.

No. Arrange an adult escort and follow the office’s restrictions after sedation.

Is it the same as numbing?

No. Local anesthesia may still be needed for the dental procedure.

Can I choose sedation on the day of treatment?

Can I take my own anxiety medicine beforehand?

Tell the dentist about all medications. Do not add or change a dose for the visit unless instructed by the treating clinician.

What can Invisalign treat?

Invisalign uses a sequence of custom aligners to move teeth gradually. We evaluate your bite and goals to see whether aligners fit your needs.

Crowding
Spaces between teeth
Selected bite concerns

Living with clear aligners

Daily wear matters

Invisalign aligners are typically worn 20–22 hours a day, following your dentist’s instructions. Remove them for meals and cleaning. Consistency helps your teeth follow the planned movements.

Aligners or veneers?

Aligners move teeth; veneers change their visible surface. If your concern is crowding or bite alignment, discuss orthodontic treatment before deciding on a cosmetic restoration.

02 What to Expect

How Invisalign treatment works

01
Assess & plan
Examine your bite and discuss your alignment goals.
02
Wear your aligners
Follow your wear schedule and progress through each set.
03
Maintain
Use retainers as directed to help preserve alignment.

03 Cost & Insurance

Your estimate depends on the complexity and length of treatment. Ask whether retainers and any additional aligners are included, and whether your plan offers orthodontic benefits.

Let’s review your estimate.

Orthodontic benefits can have age restrictions or lifetime limits. Bring your insurance details so we can help you understand what may apply.

04 Common Questions

Invisalign
FAQs

Can I remove the aligners?

Yes—for eating and cleaning. Consistent wear as prescribed is important.

How long will it take?

Timing depends on the movements needed and your progress.

Are aligners right for every bite?

Some cases need other orthodontic treatment. Your exam helps determine the best approach.

Will I need retainers after Invisalign?

Yes. Retainers help maintain your teeth’s new positions. Follow the wear schedule recommended after treatment.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Pressure or temporary soreness can occur when starting a new set. Tell the team if an aligner causes persistent irritation or does not fit.

Does dental insurance cover Invisalign?

Some plans include orthodontic benefits; others do not. Age restrictions and lifetime limits may apply. We can help check your plan.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation
in Renton, WA

Looking for laughing gas during dental treatment? Epic Dental in Renton can discuss nitrous oxide to help you relax while remaining awake and responsive.

01 Your Options

How does laughing gas work?

Nitrous oxide is mixed with oxygen and breathed through a small nose mask. The team adjusts the flow and monitors you during treatment.

Breathed through a nose mask
Adjustable during your visit
Used alongside local anesthesia when needed

Know your dental comfort options

A nose mask, not a pill

You breathe a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through your nose. The dentist adjusts it during treatment. Local anesthesia may still be needed to numb the treatment area.

After the mask is removed

The effects usually wear off soon after nitrous oxide stops. The team checks your recovery and gives discharge instructions, including whether you can drive based on all medicines used.

02 What to Expect

Your visit with nitrous oxide

01
Review
Discuss your medical history and comfort needs.
02
Relax
Breathe through the mask while the team monitors you.
03
Recover
Allow the effects to wear off and receive discharge guidance.

03 Cost & Insurance

Nitrous oxide cost & insurance

The fee may be separate from the dental procedure. Ask how the duration of treatment affects the estimate and whether your insurance includes a sedation benefit.

Let’s review your estimate.

Ask whether laughing gas is covered for the procedure you need. Your plan and the treatment estimate help clarify the expected cost.

04 Common Questions

Nitrous Oxide Sedation
FAQs

Is laughing gas general anesthesia?

No. You generally remain awake and able to respond.

Will I still need numbing?

Often, yes. Nitrous oxide does not replace local anesthesia for every procedure.

Can everyone use it?

Your health and ability to breathe through your nose affect suitability. Ask at your consultation.

How is laughing gas different from oral sedation?

Nitrous oxide is inhaled and adjustable during treatment. Oral sedation uses prescribed medicine and requires advance planning and an adult escort.

What if my nose is blocked?

Let the office know. A blocked nose can make it difficult to breathe through the mask.

Can I return to normal activities afterward?

Follow the team’s discharge advice. Your procedure and any additional medicines affect when it is appropriate to resume activities.

Veneers cover the front surface of selected teeth. We review your goals, enamel and bite, then compare veneers with other ways to improve your smile.

Uneven tooth shapes
Selected chips or small gaps
Color concerns

Compare your smile options

Porcelain or composite?

Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells; composite uses tooth-colored resin. They differ in preparation, repair and maintenance. Ask which material suits your teeth and whether it is part of your proposed plan.

Veneers, crowns or aligners?

Veneers change a tooth’s front surface. Crowns cover more of the tooth when support is needed. Aligners change tooth position. Your enamel, bite and goals help guide the choice.

02 What to Expect

The dental veneer process

01
Design
Discuss the changes you want and review your options.
02
Prepare
Prepare the teeth as needed and record their shape.
03
Fit & finish

03 Cost & Insurance

Dental veneer cost & payment options

Cost depends on the material, number of teeth and preparation involved. Cosmetic veneers may not be covered by insurance. Ask for an estimate that explains each planned restoration.

Let’s review your estimate.

Cosmetic treatment and medically necessary care may be handled differently by your plan. Review your written estimate before choosing treatment.

04 Common Questions

Dental Veneers
FAQs

Are veneers reversible?

Preparation often removes enamel, so treatment is generally irreversible.

Do I need a veneer on every tooth?

No. The number depends on your goals and the visible balance of your smile.

Will veneers need replacement?

They may need repair or replacement over time. Cleaning and bite protection matter.

Can I get veneers if I grind my teeth?

Grinding can place stress on restorations. Discuss your bite and whether protection or a different treatment is appropriate.

Can veneers replace missing teeth?

No. Veneers attach to existing teeth. A bridge or implant may be considered for a missing tooth.

Does insurance pay for veneers?

Cosmetic veneers are often excluded. Any benefits depend on your plan and the reason for treatment.

04 Common Questions

Dental Crowns
FAQs

Do I need a crown or a filling?

It depends on the size and location of the damage and the remaining tooth structure.

How do I care for a crown?

Brush, clean between teeth and keep regular dental appointments.

Will it look like my other teeth?

We discuss material and shade to suit the tooth’s location and your goals.

How many visits does a crown take?

A lab-made crown usually involves a preparation visit and a fitting visit. The team will explain the schedule for your plan.

What if my crown comes loose?

Call the office, keep the crown if possible and avoid chewing on that tooth. Do not reattach it with household glue.

Can a crowned tooth still get a cavity?

Yes. The tooth around the crown’s edges still needs daily cleaning and regular examination.

Root canal or extraction?

Root canal treatment aims to keep a tooth that can be restored. Extraction removes it. We assess the damage and supporting structures before discussing the options and any replacement needs.

Let’s review your estimate.

Review both the root canal and the final restoration in your estimate. If you are referred, ask the specialist to confirm their fees and benefits.

04 Common Questions

Root Canal Treatment
FAQs

Will I need a crown afterward?

Many treated teeth need a crown. The recommendation depends on the tooth and remaining structure.

Will I need a specialist?

Complex cases may be referred to an endodontist.

What about soreness afterward?

Some tenderness can occur. Follow your aftercare plan and contact us if symptoms worsen.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Local anesthesia is used for comfort. Some tenderness afterward can occur; tell your dentist about pain or swelling that worsens.

How many appointments will I need?

Treatment may take one or more visits depending on the tooth and infection. A final restoration may require another appointment.

Can antibiotics replace a root canal?

They do not remove damaged tissue from inside a tooth. The exam determines what treatment is needed for the underlying problem.

FAQs

Bridge or implant?

Your bone, neighboring teeth, budget and preferences help guide the choice.

How do I clean under a bridge?

Use the cleaning tools your dental team recommends to reach beneath the replacement teeth.

Is a bridge removable?

A fixed bridge stays in place. It differs from a removable partial denture.

Can a bridge replace more than one tooth?

Sometimes. The length of the gap and strength of the available support determine what is appropriate.

How long will a bridge last?

There is no guaranteed lifespan. Oral health, bite forces and maintenance affect when repair or replacement may be needed.

01 Your Options

Tooth pain, broken teeth & urgent concerns

An exam and any needed imaging help us identify the problem. We discuss immediate care, ways to protect the tooth and whether follow-up treatment is needed.

Persistent toothache
Cracked or broken teeth
Swelling or a lost restoration

What to do before your dental visit

Toothache or broken tooth

Avoid chewing on the affected side and call for advice. For a toothache, gently rinse with warm water; do not place aspirin on the tooth or gums. Tell us about swelling or fever.

Knocked-out adult tooth

Seek dental care immediately. Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root, and keep it moist in milk if you cannot safely replace it. Do not reinsert a baby tooth.

03 Cost & Insurance

Emergency dental visit costs

An emergency exam identifies the problem; treatment costs depend on the findings. Ask what the exam and imaging include and whether additional care can be completed at that visit.

Let’s review your estimate.

We’ll explain the recommended next step after examining the tooth. Call first for urgent concerns; an online appointment request is not an emergency response.

04 Common Questions

Tooth Pain & Emergency Care
FAQs

What should I tell the team when I call?

Describe the symptoms, when they started and any swelling, fever or injury. Mention a lost crown or filling and medicines you have taken.

Does tooth pain mean an extraction?

Not always. Treatment depends on the cause and whether the tooth can be restored.

When should I seek emergency medical care?

Trouble breathing or swallowing, or rapidly spreading swelling, needs emergency medical care. Call 911 for a life-threatening emergency.

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?

Call for today’s availability. We can tell you the earliest opening and whether your symptoms require more urgent care.

What if a crown or filling falls out?

Keep the restoration if you have it, avoid chewing on that tooth and call. Do not use household glue to put it back.

Will antibiotics fix a tooth infection?

Antibiotics alone may not treat the underlying dental problem. An exam helps determine whether drainage, root canal treatment or another procedure is needed.

04 Common Questions

Dental implant FAQs

Will I have a gap while my implant heals?

Temporary tooth options depend on the location of the missing tooth and your treatment plan. At your consultation, our team will explain what may work during healing.

Could I need treatment in addition to the implant?

Some cases need an extraction or bone grafting. We assess your teeth and bone, explain any additional care recommended and include it in your personalized estimate.

What will I learn at my consultation?

We discuss your concerns, possible treatment options, expected timing and payment choices. Our team will explain any further examination or imaging needed to complete your plan.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Your dentist considers your oral health, bone support, medical history and healing risks. Smoking and some health conditions can affect outcomes. An examination is needed to determine suitability.

Can I get an implant after a tooth extraction?

Are dental implants better than a bridge or dentures?

The right choice depends on your remaining teeth, oral health, budget and preferences. Compare the proposed options, including maintenance, surgery and expected treatment time, with your dentist.
