Debbie and Dr. Van Boening are a pleasure to work with. So glad I found them

I underwent Invisalign treatment and vernier bonding material was added to two of my teeth. I was beyond impressed throughout the entire process. The office was easy to coordinate with through phone or text, great getting you in for any concern no matter how minute, and just overall phenomenal in every way. Dr. Otten started my alignment process and was knowledgeable and friendly over the year and a half I worked with him. Dr. Van Boening took over for the cosmetic portion. The cosmetic results were phenomenal, I can’t stop smiling. Although the time in the chair was tedious, it was worth it for Dr. Van Boening to take time to color match appropriately and ensure quality bonding of materials to my teeth. The entire staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. I am so happy with the results and cannot recommend the office enough. Noah

Dr Otten and his staff are addressing the root of my condition, not just the symptoms. They are looking in-depth at what is really happening physically and why it makes me feel the way I do. They are looking at the big picture. They are investing their time to literally change my life for the better. I am so happy to be their patient.

Questions & Answers

What are the early signs of dental trouble?

While there are some signs, they are often not early signs. Why? Because the vast majority of dental problems, likely 85%, are not symptomatic until they are severe. Unlike most medical conditions by the time swelling, bleeding and pain occurs you have a significant problem. Additionally there are fundamental problems related to joint breakdown, airway and other structures that are fundamental to stability and should be thoroughly and regularly assessed.

Does fluoride really help protect teeth?

While some still disagree with the use of fluoride it is generally accepted that it’s use is one of the most successful public health initiatives ever implemented. Having said that where it is best utilized is as a water additive for developing teeth in children. While the topical application is helpful, the water additive application is far more important than the the topical application through toothpaste, etc.

I might have an abscess tooth. Is this something that will go away on its own?

The bacterial infection from a tooth abscess can be dangerous if it spreads. You must see your dentist who has the skills and training to diagnose the cause of the abscess and provide appropriate treatment.

Does the dentist see children as well as adults?
