Dr. Daniel D. Truono, of Dental Associates, PA in Wilmington, has been practicing dentistry in Delaware for 34 years. Dr. Truono emphasizes the importance of making the most informed decisions about your oral health by sharing five key pieces of knowledge she wants everyone to know.
Preventive Care: The Foundation of Dental Health
Preventive care is essential to maintaining dental health. Regular dental checkups, cleanings, and good oral hygiene practices can prevent many dental problems before they become serious. Dr. Truono advises visiting the dentist at least twice a year for comprehensive exams and cleanings. During these visits, dentists can spot early signs of issues like tooth decay or gum disease and provide early interventions that can prevent more extensive treatments in the future.
Aesthetic Dentistry: More than Aesthetics
Cosmetic dentistry is not just about improving the appearance of your teeth. it also plays an important role in improving your overall dental health.
“Procedures like teeth whitening, veneers and bonding do more than just give you a bright smile,” said Dr. Truono. “These procedures can also address underlying issues such as misaligned or missing teeth, gaps or an uncomfortable bite. Thus, cosmetic dentistry can be both a confidence booster and a preventative measure.”
Embracing new technology for better results
“Technology has really changed the way I practice dentistry,” said Dr. Truono. “Digital X-rays and 3D imaging enable more precise and effective dental treatments and more efficient planning.”
Dr. Truono embraces these technological advances, personally developing the designs for implants, crowns, aligners and night guards using scanners, 3-D printers and other equipment in the dental office.
“I’m really involved in the design process,” Dr. Truono said. “By doing the designs myself, I can ensure the accuracy and quality of the final product. The technology also allows me to show my patients an image of what their teeth would look like after treatment. It’s really rewarding to create something that comes together so seamlessly and effectively for my patients.”
The value of second opinions
When facing a major dental procedure, seeking a second opinion is important. Dr. Truono encourages patients to explore their options and consult with different dentists before committing to any major dental work. Second opinions can confirm the necessity of a treatment or present alternative options. Knowledge will empower you to make the most informed decisions about your dental health.
Same-day crowns and cosmetic smiles cosmetic meets advanced care
Innovative treatments like same-day crowns and veneers have made dental care more convenient and efficient. “We use technology to design, create and place a crown or veneer in a single visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns,” said Dr. Truono. “Our practice also uses dental lasers to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile which in turn improves the health and appearance of your gums.”
