What does Belmont Dentistry focus on?
Belmont Dentistry is a cosmetic and implant-focused practice, with Invisalign and surgically-guided implant surgery as two of our most requested treatments. We also provide general and restorative dentistry for the whole family.
What’s the best way to replace missing teeth?
The right approach depends on your oral health, goals, and the number of teeth being replaced. Dental implants are often recommended because they replace both the visible tooth and the supporting root, creating a strong, natural-feeling result. Dr. Nikpourfard can review your options and explain what makes sense for your smile.
Can you help me improve the way my smile looks?
Absolutely. Our office offers cosmetic dentistry options including Invisalign, veneers, porcelain crowns, and whitening. During your visit, we’ll talk through your goals and help you choose an option that feels right for you.
Is Invisalign right for everyone?
Invisalign works well for many alignment concerns, including crowding and gaps, but not every case is the same. A consultation lets us evaluate your smile and recommend whether Invisalign or another option is the better fit.
My gums bleed when I brush and floss. Should I be worried?
Bleeding gums can be a sign of inflammation or gum disease, especially when it happens regularly. If you notice bleeding when brushing or flossing, schedule a visit so our team can evaluate your gum health and recommend next steps.
Do you offer payment plans?
We offer CareCredit financing and an in-office membership plan with VIP savings for patients without dental insurance. We also accept cash, checks, credit cards, and debit cards. Cherry Financing is coming soon.
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients benefit from two dental checkups and cleanings each year. Regular visits help remove plaque and tartar, monitor your gums, and catch small concerns early. Some patients may need a different schedule depending on their oral health.
What technology does Belmont Dentistry use?
Our office uses digital X-rays, panoramic X-rays, a CBCT scanner, and an iTero digital scanner to plan treatment precisely and comfortably, especially for Invisalign and guided implant surgery.
