FAQs

What makes your practice different from others I could visit?

We understand that your time is as valuable as the relationship we’ve built together. Dr. Rementer provides the kind of quality care you deserve all under one roof. By offering services that span multiple disciplines of dentistry, you only have to visit one office for your dental care, and receive exceptional service from the dentist you know and trust. Contact us for your appointment today.

I don’t like dental drills! Do I have an option?

Yes, you do have an option when it comes to treating cavities. Dr. Rementer offers air abrasion to treat small areas of decay. Air abrasion uses a concentrated stream of aluminum oxide particles to gently and completely blast away the cavity and prepare the tooth for a filling. Often so gentle that you can avoid anesthetic injections, air abrasion is a popular choice.

I am anxious about my dental treatment. How can you help?

Don’t let fear and anxiety keep you from getting the important dental care you need. Dr. Rementer offers oral sedation to help ease you into total relaxation. You’ll be prescribed a safe and widely used sedative that you’ll take prior to your appointment. The soothing effects of oral sedation last throughout your appointment and you’ll feel completely comfortable during your dental procedures. A consultation is needed to gauge your level of anxiety and prescribe the most appropriate medication, so please contact us for an appointment.

I want to straighten my front teeth, but I don’t have time for braces.

Actually, you have a great choice for straightening your teeth with just a single procedure: Porcelain veneers. Made of thin porcelain layers, veneers fit over your exiting teeth like a sheath and instantly masking imperfections and straightening teeth while making them beautifully white. Porcelain veneers can be placed in three appointments or less. Simply contact our office for your consultation.
