With dental bridges and dental implants, we can rebuild your smile so that it works properly, looks beautiful, and lasts longer. We know how difficult it can be to even eat a simple meal when one or more teeth are lost, so feel free to give our team a call and let us change the way you approach each day with a complete, healthy smile by replacing your missing teeth in Hayward. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Replacing Missing Teeth? We Partner with Local Dental Implant Specialists Personalized Approach & Customized Treatment Plans Your Dental Insurance Is Welcome Dental Bridges When missing between one and four consecutive teeth along the upper or lower arch, you may wonder if you’ll have to pay to replace each one. Instead, you can opt for a more seamless approach – a dental bridge. Using different materials depending on your preference and recommendation from Dr. Diep, a bridge remains anchored in place using healthy abutment teeth on either side of the gap and is completed with pontics (artificial teeth) that fill in the gap. Dental Implants Other tooth replacement solutions (i.e., dental bridges) may be able to restore the visible portions of your teeth but only dental implants can replace the root-to-crown structure. Continuously stimulating your jawbone after placement, these prosthetics are considered the gold standard because of their durability, easy maintenance, and long lifespan. Because of their natural look and feel, they are more attractive to those suffering from tooth loss. Not to mention, they can last 30+ years as long as you take care of them.

We know you have options when it comes to family dentistry, which is why we want to do everything we can to help you feel more confident in your decision. Part of this process is being able to answer questions about our office in Hayward, the services we offer, and about general dental care. Below, we’ve compiled some responses to our most frequently asked questions, and we encourage you to call us if you do not see yours listed below. Are six-month dental checkups and teeth cleanings necessary? Yes, you will need to keep your regularly scheduled six-month dental appointments to avoid many of the most common oral health problems such as dental decay, cavities, and gum disease. Much of the plaque and tartar that accumulate on teeth cannot be removed by traditional toothbrushes and toothpaste. Instead, professional instruments are required to keep teeth and gums cavity- and disease-free throughout the year. Will you see my child at your dental office? Yes! We are a family-friendly dental practice that sees children 12 years of age and older. We know this time in their life brings a lot of changes, especially when it comes to their oral and facial development. This is why our team is here to monitor their growth and any changes that might arise. Should we detect any problems throughout the year, we will administer appropriate treatment as a way to mitigate future issues once they reach adolescence and adulthood. Will I need to see an outside specialist for dental implants? While we do offer dental implant restoration, we do partner with local implant specialists when it is time for a patient to undergo dental implant surgery. This ensures that you receive optimal care so that your dental implants remain firmly in place over time. Once you’re fully healed, we will take care of securing your dental crown or bridge in place. How can I know if cosmetic dentistry is right for me? To know whether cosmetic dentistry is right for you, you’ll need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Diep. This visit will allow him to review your smile and determine the severity of your tooth flaws. If you struggle with tooth chips, cracks, stains, discoloration, minor gaps, misshapen teeth, minor misalignment, or slight overcrowding, we can recommend treatment options that will work to improve your appearance. But before any services are provided, we will go over your medical history and the status of your oral health to determine if you first need preparatory care (i.e., gum disease treatment). I’m dealing with a dental emergency. What should I do? The first step is to call our office and let us know about the injury. Based on the situation, we will work to get you in on the same day for immediate care. A member of our team will deliver first-aid tips that you are welcome to use while at home. Depending on the type of injury, you’ll be encouraged to take an over-the-counter pain reliever to minimize discomfort. Once in our office, we will begin the process of addressing your injury as quickly as possible. Will you accept my dental insurance? Yes, we welcome most PPO dental insurance plans and look forward to helping you maximize your dental benefits. We know this process can be cumbersome for many patients, which is why we want to alleviate the stressful burden it can cause. We’ll file claims and paperwork on your behalf as well as go over additional ways you can save throughout the year.

By staying ahead of potential issues that can spell disaster for your oral and overall health, we can minimize future problems and keep expenses low by avoiding the need for restorative or emergency dental care. Call our office if it has been more than six months since your last visit to the dentist’s office, and we can schedule your next appointment for preventive dentistry in Hayward. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Preventive Dentistry? Custom Nightguards to Combat Teeth Grinding We Treat Children and Adults Your Dental Insurance Is Welcome Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings Careful brushing, flossing, and rinsing at home are important, but the help of a trusted professional is often necessary if plaque and tartar are to be thoroughly eliminated. With six-month dental checkups and teeth cleanings, Dr. Diep and our team will inspect your teeth, gums, bite, jaw, and other nearby facial structures to ensure no abnormalities or issues are evident. We’ll then remove hardened plaque and tartar so that you can leave with a healthier smile that will last. Learn More About Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings Gum Disease Treatment Affecting millions of adults in the United States, gum disease can quickly become a serious problem that affects more than just your mouth. If bacteria spread, it can lead to bone and tooth loss as well as cardiovascular and neurological issues. With gum disease treatment from our team, though, we can apply scaling and root planing to eliminate plaque and tartar as well as smooth tooth roots to minimize the risk of future re-infection. Learn More About Gum Disease Treatment Fluoride Treatment Although children are more prone to cavities because of their diet, oral hygiene, and forgetfulness, adults, too, can use additional care when protecting against cavities. With fluoride treatment, Dr. Diep can apply a topical varnish or gel during a regular dental checkup that will safeguard teeth between appointments. Painless and quick to complete, your or your child’s teeth will become stronger and better protected should bacteria try to attack. Nightguards for Bruxism Severe headaches, jaw pain, and worn tooth enamel are all symptoms associated with bruxism. Known as teeth grinding or clenching, the habit can form unknowingly while you’re asleep. Commonly linked to stress, the condition can worsen over time and leave you with a damaged and unhealthy smile. But with a custom-made nightguard created by our office, we can protect your teeth from touching so that your jaw relaxes, and your smile remains safe from further wear and tear. Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea Treatment If you or a loved one have difficulty getting the rest you need, we do offer custom-made sleep appliances that are designed to help you get essential sleep. If an obstruction in your throat interrupts your ability to breathe or complete a full sleep cycle, these customized appliances can help to shift your jaw forward so that your airway remains clear, and you avoid frequent awakenings caused by sleep apnea.

However, if no other option proves successful, removing them will be necessary to avoid further harm to your smile. If you are interested in learning more about tooth extractions, including why they are sometimes necessary, give us a call to schedule an appointment or read on! Why Choose SoHay Dental for Tooth Extractions? Sedation Dentistry Options Available Your Dental Insurance Benefits Will Be Maximized Modern, State-of-the-Art Facility Reasons Why Tooth Extractions Are Necessary Not all decayed or damaged teeth need to be extracted. In fact, many can be treated using other solutions such as dental crowns or even root canal therapy, which we can provide a referral for if necessary. However, Dr. Diep will recommend tooth removal if you are faced with one or more of these issues: Extreme facial trauma. An infection that has spread and is posing a risk to your oral and overall health. You need orthodontics, but need one or more teeth removed due to severe overcrowding. You’re dealing with advanced gum disease that is causing your teeth to loosen. In short, when teeth begin to put your oral health at risk because of infection or damage, a tooth extraction becomes the preferred method of treatment. The Process of Removing a Tooth Whether we’re removing a tooth prior to orthodontic treatment or during an emergency visit because there is a severe crack in your enamel, the first step is always the same: to numb your mouth thoroughly. Once that has set in and you’re ready to begin, Dr. Diep will get to work removing the tooth. If it is trapped underneath the gumline, then an incision will need to be made before we can carefully remove it section by section. If that’s not the case, then we can grip the tooth and rock it loose before tending to the extraction site. Tooth Extraction Aftercare To help you heal comfortably at home, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. A few general ones include: Changing the gauze pads as needed Taking prescribed or OTC pain medication as directed Using a cold compress for 10 minutes at a time Eating only extremely soft foods, like plain yogurt Brushing and flossing carefully around the extraction site Keeping your head elevated, even while you sleep Understanding the Cost of Tooth Extractions Many people feel nervous when they learn they need a tooth extraction, and it’s not always because they’re concerned the procedure might hurt. Many patients also have questions about how much they might pay out of pocket for this service. Our team is happy to provide a detailed estimate after your initial consultation with Dr. Diep. Continue reading to learn more about how the price of your procedure is determined and how our team helps make dental care more affordable ! Read More Factors That Can Affect Tooth Extraction Cost You might not pay the same rate as someone else to have your problematic tooth removed because the amount due can vary significantly based on factors unique to your circumstances. Potential considerations include: Where it’s located. Molars in the back of your mouth are harder to access and contain more roots, requiring additional steps and time to extract, which can increase the price. The severity of your condition. If a specialist is required to assist with your procedure, you will be responsible for covering the cost of their services, too. Type of replacement tooth. The different types of restorations, such as dental bridges or implants, have their own pricing structures. Does Dental Insurance Cover Tooth Extractions? Dental insurance can often be a simple and effective way to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for everything from routine visits to more complex treatments. Most of these plans are designed to promote proper prevention and cover up to 100% of the cost of routine checkups, and often also include 50% of major procedures, including extractions. However, every policy is different, and there are no guarantees that your treatment will be included, so it’s worth verifying your benefits before proceeding. If you’re unsure what’s a part of your plan or would like help with claims or paperwork, please let us know. Our friendly staff are familiar with different providers and are happy to help you maximize your available benefits. How to Make Tooth Extractions Affordable Removing a problematic tooth can sometimes be the only option to prevent additional harm to your dental health, and our team doesn’t want your current financial situation to prevent you from undergoing a potentially smile-saving procedure. If you’re worried about affording this treatment, you can apply for a flexible payment plan through CareCredit or Cherry. Once your application is approved, you can divide the total cost of your procedure into more manageable installments that are paid over a designated period.

Offering kid-friendly dental services, we invite you to call our office to schedule an appointment for your little one today with our children's dentist in Hayward. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Children’s Dentistry? We See Patients 12 Years of Age and Older Modern, Comfortable Dentist’s Office State-of-the-Art Dental Technology Available Dental Sealants Molars and premolars can often be the hardest teeth for children to clean. Because they exist far back in the mouth, they can be neglected, leading to bacterial accumulation and cavities. With dental sealants, our team can protect these chewing surfaces so that harmful particles cannot penetrate the enamel. As a clear coating that is painted on during a regular dental appointment, its plastic material creates a tough barrier, keeping your child’s teeth safeguarded for up to 10 years. Silver Diamine Fluoride The idea of receiving a dental filling may be scary for some children, which is why we offer silver diamine fluoride. When a cavity already exists, we can apply this unique solution to the area, which will allow the silver to effectively kill the bacteria, while the fluoride prevents any additional decay from forming. Your child’s tooth or teeth will also become stronger because of the fluoride’s ability to strengthen enamel. Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards Sports and physical activity are strongly encouraged among children, as it ensures they get the exercise their bodies need. If you have an athlete who enjoys being outside and engaging in competition, make sure they’re equipped with a custom sportsguard. This appliance will help to keep their pearly whites and gums protected from any unwanted pressure. By investing in a custom mouthguard, you can reduce their risk of an emergency dental appointment, allowing them to remain fully invested in the game.

The reason is that your knocked-out tooth may require replacement, while another individual may be able to go with a splint to hold the original tooth in place. Each case is different, so only once Dr. Diep has the chance to examine your dental injury will we be able to construct a formal estimate for your treatment. When ready, we’ll go over our financial policy and help to maximize your benefits so that you pay less while still receiving top-quality care from our team. Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies If you want to prevent a visit to your emergency dentist’s office, you’ll need to make sure that you’re doing all you can to minimize your risk of a dental injury. This can include ensuring that your oral hygiene habits are practiced each morning and night, keeping up with your six-month dental checkups and cleanings, giving up bad habits that are dangerous to your oral health (i.e., smoking, biting your fingernails, eating ice, etc.), wearing a mouthguard to protect your teeth while sleeping and/or playing sports, and eating a healthy diet.

He’s able to get people out of pain, restore their confidence, and help them avoid expensive issues down the road through his work. He has experienced the positive and lasting impact dentistry can have firsthand, and he can’t wait to leverage his skills to ensure you look and feel your best for years to come. Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist? Dr. Diep first considered becoming a dentist while in high school, but he didn’t fully decide on it until college. The determining factor was when he volunteered at a mobile clinic in Oakland, CA. There, he witnessed hundreds of people camping out and waiting for hours to get free dental work. After that experience, he believed dentistry offered a great way to give back to the community that made him who he is today. Where Did You Study Dentistry? Dr. Diep started his college career at San Francisco State University, and he then completed a post-baccalaureate program at Cal State University-East Bay. He eventually earned his dental degree from Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ, and today, he stays on top of the latest dental advancements through his membership in the California Dental Association. Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do? Dr. Diep and his wife were married in October 2021, and they have two older dogs that are like their children (a Maltese/shih tzu mix and a chihuahua/Russell terrier mix). He enjoys watching cooking shows and following food-related posts on social media—if he wasn’t a dentist, he would have probably become a chef! In his free time, he likes to work out, try new restaurants, travel, and keep up with the Raiders and Golden State Warriors.

Stop throwing money away on ineffective OTC whitening products. They don’t contain professional-grade whitening agents, so any improvement you notice will be minimal and your results won’t last. Instead, invest in dramatic improvement with take-home teeth whitening in Hayward. You can achieve in-office results using the convenience of an OTC product. Dr. Henry Diep will recreate the personalized plan you need to ensure your pearly whites are their brightest. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Take-Home Teeth Whitening? Personalized Treatment Plans Highly Concentrated Whitening Solutions Lasting Improvement Who is a Good Candidate for Take-Home Teeth Whitening? If you’re not happy with the color of your teeth, you might be a candidate for a take-home kit. Teeth whitening is the most effective on age-related and surface stains. Dr. Diep will examine your mouth to determine the source of your discoloration. He will also check to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy, which is a requirement of any elective service, including teeth whitening. A take-home kit is recommended for patients who can commit to following Dr. Diep’s instructions. He will help you choose the best solution for your preferences and your goals. How Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work? After any preparatory treatments, like a dental cleaning or filling, an impression of your mouth is taken to fabricate custom-fit trays. This ensures the even distribution of the whitening gel and promotes a comfortable process. Dr. Diep will give you the trays and a professional-strength whitening gel to use every day for about 2 weeks. Stains will disappear gradually, improving the color of your teeth by up to 8 shades.  Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile Your dazzling smile can stay bright for many months or years with the right aftercare, like: Good Oral Hygiene: Commit to brushing your teeth after every meal and flossing daily to remove plaque and food residue. Avoid Dark Foods and Drinks: Limit your consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks, like coffee, blueberries, and red wine. Drink dark beverages through a straw to limit their contact with your teeth. Consume it all at once instead of sipping it throughout the day. If you have anything that may stain your teeth, rinse your mouth with water after you’ve finished. Don’t Smoke: Tobacco can cause tar and nicotine stains. Visit Your Dentist: Schedule a cleaning and checkup every 6 months. Dr. Diep will keep your mouth clean and healthy. He can also provide you with a touchup kit to maintain your results.

Teeth whitening can address both intrinsic and extrinsic stains (stains on the inside and outside of teeth), as well as various types of discoloration, such as those caused by age, diet, and more. Some types of stains are more challenging to remove and may lead to higher costs. Additional treatment. Some patients need fillings or other restorative treatment before their mouth is healthy enough for teeth whitening. Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost? There are four types of teeth whitening, all of which have their own price range: Some dentists offer in-office teeth whitening, which is the fastest and most expensive option. It can cost anywhere from $400 to $1000 or more. Take-home teeth whitening from a dentist usually runs a few hundred dollars. The treatment is fully customized for each patient and usually takes about two weeks to produce optimum results. Over-the-counter whitening trays are not customized to each patient. They may cost around $100 or less. Many online retailers sell them. The cheapest option is over-the-counter whitening strips and gels. These items usually run $20 - $40 per package. Each box usually has enough product for a two-week course of treatment. Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Lower-Cost Options As you consider the numbers listed above, you might start to wonder why anyone would choose professional teeth whitening when there are so many cheaper over-the-counter options. The answer boils down to quality. Professional whitening offers some benefits that you cannot get with over-the-counter treatment: With professional whitening, you get to enjoy the supervision and support of a highly trained dental team. Professional treatments can be customized for severe stains or for patients with dental sensitivity. You can expect dramatic results within a short period of time. Over-the-counter products often leave consumers feeling disappointed. Options For Making Teeth Whitening Affordable Insurance almost never covers teeth whitening because it is classified as a purely elective procedure. However, since teeth whitening is usually not expensive, many patients find that they are able to pay for it out of pocket. If you do not wish to pay for the entirety of your treatment upfront, you might qualify for low-interest financing through CareCredit. You may be able to pay for your teeth whitening over the course of a few months. Are you eager to achieve a brighter smile? Our team is ready to assist you!

Unfortunately, however, without the proper opportunity to diagnose them, they can easily grow larger and more damaging as time goes on. Routine preventive dental checkups and cleanings were designed to not only remove excess plaque and tartar from your smile, but also to spot any issues that may be forming in your mouth so they can be reversed or treated before they have a chance to get worse. While at-home care like brushing and flossing are essential steps for keeping your mouth healthy and strong, they don’t go far enough to protect your smile. That’s why the American Dental Association recommends you visit your dentist in Hayward for a dental check-up and cleaning every six months. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Dental Checkups & Cleanings?  We Welcome Patients Age 12 & Over All Digital X-rays Dental Insurance Welcome Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important? While it can certainly be tempting to skip your routine dental visits if your mouth looks and feels fine, the truth is that doing so can cost you a lot more in the long run. Regular dental cleanings can remove plaque that could eventually cause cavities, or a developing cavity could be detected and treated before it becomes so severe it requires a root canal or crown. Dental insurance almost always covers two dental checkups and cleanings per year, but fillings and other restorative treatments usually always result in additional out-of-pocket expenses. By taking the time out of your busy schedule for two quick dental visits a year, you could ultimately save even more time and money by avoiding the need for invasive and time-consuming procedures later. Worse yet, poor oral health has been linked to several dangerous overall health problems, including heart disease and diabetes, so regular preventive care could even reduce your risk of developing such conditions. What to Expect During a Dental Checkup While it’s perfectly natural to be a little nervous about your upcoming dental checkup, the good news is that these appointments are nothing to fear.  During your check-up, Dr. Diep and the team will: Visually examine your teeth, gums, overall bite, and any existing dental work. Screen the soft tissues in your mouth for oral cancer. Take digital X-rays (usually once a year) to detect any problems underneath the surface. Create a detailed treatment plan if any problems are identified. Answer your questions about treatment or at-home oral health care. Update and review your medical history and any current medications, some of which may impact your oral health. What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning   Even the cleanest looking teeth need a little help getting their whitest and brightest. That’s because even with daily brushing and flossing there are many parts of your mouth that are impossible to clean on your own at home. During your professional cleaning at SoHay Dental, we will use special instruments to remove plaque and tartar that have accumulated on and between your teeth and along your gumline, reducing your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and chronic bad breath. Your teeth will then be flossed and polished, and you’ll be free to go show off your gorgeous, healthy smile!

It’s true! With veneers, our Hayward cosmetic dentist can transform the size, shape, and shade of your teeth, giving you the gorgeous grin you’ve always wanted. If you want to learn more about this smile-enhancing service, you can schedule a consultation with us or read on! Why Choose SoHay Dental for Veneers? Highly Trained Cosmetic Dentist CareCredit Flexible Financing Available Convenient Appointment Times What Are Dental Veneers? Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are custom-made to fit over the front-facing surface of a patient’s tooth. Although they are only about the width of a fingernail, they can effectively conceal multiple imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, and stains. Plus, the size, shape, and shade of each one will be chosen based on your specific smile goals, giving you results that are as subtle or dramatic as you’d like! The Process of Getting Veneers  The first step of the entire veneers process is your consultation with Dr. Henry Diep . Once he has learned about your aesthetic goals and determined that you are a candidate, he will work on your custom treatment plan. This is when you will select the size, shape, and shade of each veneer! Before sending off your treatment plan to the dental lab, we’ll need to remove a sliver of enamel from your teeth and take impressions. Since the lab artisans usually need a few weeks to craft your veneers, we’ll provide you with a temporary set in the meantime. To prevent them from falling off, we ask that you make a few adjustments to your diet and oral hygiene regimen (which we will cover in-depth at your appointment). When your final veneers arrive at our office, we’ll carefully inspect them to make sure they are perfect. Then, we will schedule your final appointment. At this time, we will carefully remove your temporary veneers, bond your permanent ones in place, and give you detailed instructions on how to care for your smile moving forward! The Benefits of Veneers Veneers offer patients several noteworthy benefits, including: Versatility – They can fix one tooth or an entire arch of teeth! Complete Customization – You pick the size, shape, and color of each one. Quick Turnaround – Oftentimes, veneers can be placed in three visits or less. Lifelike Results – Veneers are designed to look and feel just like your teeth, but better! Fix Multiple Imperfections – Conceal everything from stains to chips at once. Veneers FAQs Are Veneers Permanent? While veneers are not permanent since they will eventually need to be replaced, they are considered irreversible since teeth that have received them will have to wear them from then on. Placing veneers requires the removal of a small amount of enamel from the treated teeth. Since enamel does not grow back, these appliances will serve to protect the teeth by preventing injury and infection. What Happens to the Teeth Under Veneers? Placing veneers will not harm your teeth since only a minimal amount of enamel is removed and the bonding material used to cement the appliances in place is completely safe. Since the veneer will protect the tooth, receiving one will not increase its risk of developing cavities and other infections. However, it’s still crucial to practice excellent oral hygiene after receiving veneers to remove plaque and food debris, as a veneer will have to be removed and possibly replaced if the tooth wearing it becomes infected. A few great ways to keep your newly transformed smile in fantastic shape include brushing and flossing regularly, limiting your sugar intake, and attending regular dental exams and cleanings at our Hayward office. Do Veneers Give You a Lisp? While you may have difficulty pronouncing certain words when you first receive your veneers, the resulting lisp should be mild and temporary. Since veneers change the shape of your teeth, your tongue will have to get used to their presence and adjust its movements accordingly. Until your tongue has acclimated to your new smile, you may have trouble when pronouncing the “s” or “v” sounds. While we may be able to adjust your veneers to reduce your lisp, a great way to get rid of it at home is to read a favorite book out loud and take care to repeat any words that give you trouble until you master them. Can Veneers Be Used for Bite Corrections? While veneers can be used to treat minor dental misalignments, their effectiveness is limited since they cannot change the positions of the teeth and jaw. These appliances can be quite effective when addressing gaps between teeth, and if you have a mild open bite, they may be able to make your teeth wider and longer to create a more pleasing alignment. However, we usually only recommend using veneers to correct bite issues if they are primarily of aesthetic concern and don’t significantly impact the patient’s oral health. If you are currently undergoing orthodontic treatment, it’s best to wait until you are finished with it before receiving veneers. Do Veneers Feel Like Real Teeth? Many patients report that their veneers feel so natural that they no longer notice them during meals or conversations. A tiny amount of enamel is removed from teeth receiving veneers so the appliances can fit comfortably and evenly upon them, preventing discomfort and a bulky appearance. The materials used to make the crowns mounted on veneers are incredibly smooth and very similar in appearance to real dental structures, ensuring comfortable and natural-looking results.

Convenient Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits Available Healthier, Metal-Free Dental Restorations Lifelike Veneers to Transform Appearances Veneers Covering up smile imperfections might seem like an impossible feat, but you’ll be pleased to know that dental veneers can be the ideal solution to address this issue. Customized to fit comfortably over the front surfaces of teeth, they mimic the natural look of tooth enamel and can be crafted based on your desired shape, size, and color. While it takes at least two appointments to put them in place, veneers can last up to a decade before needing to be replaced. Learn More About Veneers Metal-Free Dental Restorations Damaged and decayed teeth can be restored using an array of materials such as porcelain-fused-to-metal and even gold, but if you want something that does not stand out but instead blends in with your existing smile, we offer metal-free restorations. Crafted by skilled technicians, these dental onlays, inlays, and crowns offer optimal protection while keeping your smile aesthetically pleasing. Cosmetic Dental Bonding Cosmetic dentistry doesn’t have to be an invasive and complex process. Instead, it can deliver the same great results in less time. One way this is possible is with cosmetic bonding. Using the same material as tooth-colored fillings, Dr. Diep will apply the composite resin to the surface of your tooth, effectively covering the imperfection and ensuring that it lays flat once in place. Designed to be completed in just one appointment, it can last for several years and be removed should you choose to pursue another form of treatment down the road.

Please contact our office immediately if you suspect something’s wrong with your restoration so we can help you as soon as possible. Why Do Dental Implants Fail? Though it’s exceptionally rare, dental implants can fail if: You develop peri-implantitis. This is when gum disease bacteria damage the tissue and bone supporting an implant. Osseointegration is incomplete. In other words, the implant post didn’t fuse properly with your jawbone. Physical trauma damages the implant or knocks it loose. Symptoms of a Failed Dental Implant The main characteristic of a failed dental implant is discomfort. More specifically, you might experience: Severe pain. Bleeding, swelling, or pus. Difficulty chewing. How Dental Implant Salvage Works There are a couple of different treatments available for failed dental implants, so the first step to salvaging your restoration is identifying the cause of failure. Dr. Diep will visually examine your mouth and take detailed X-rays in order to diagnose the issue. Depending on his findings, we might be able to simply repair or tighten the implant, or we might have to remove it entirely in order to perform corrective treatments like bone grafting or gum disease therapy. Either way, our team will keep you informed about your dental implant salvage.

If you notice bleeding, swelling, or redness along your gumline, call our office right away to schedule an appointment. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Gum Disease Treatment? Saturday Dental Appointments Available Multilingual Staff – We Speak Chinese & English Dental Team Will Maximize Your Available Benefits What is Gum Disease? Gum disease is the development of a bacterial infection that forms within the soft oral tissues that help hold your teeth in place. It forms in stages, beginning with gingivitis. This causes bleeding, inflammation, and redness, but symptoms can be reversed with regular cleanings and good at-home oral hygiene. If it worsens, it can become periodontitis. This is when gum pockets form and the infection begins to attack the bone. Eventually, if gum disease is left untreated, you can suffer from bone and tooth loss, as well as an increased risk of bodily issues. Symptoms of Gum Disease Recognizing the symptoms of gum disease gives you a better chance of getting ahead of the problem before it worsens. If you notice any of the following issues forming, do not wait to call and schedule an appointment with our SoHay Dental team: Bleeding or swollen gums Gums that appear red or tender Gum recession (teeth appear longer than before) Bad breath or halitosis Loose permanent teeth A change in your bite (how your teeth come together) How Do We Treat Gum Disease Treating gum disease in Hayward requires scaling and root planing. Dr. Diep and our team are skilled in providing this service, ensuring your teeth and gums are healthier and free of harmful bacteria once the process is complete. Scaling & Root Planing Scaling and root planing remains one of the most pivotal and reliable forms of treatment for gum disease. As a two-part process, our team will begin by removing harmful plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums, even extending into the gum pocket. We’ll then move on to root planing, which requires smoothing and reshaping your tooth roots to prevent bacterial adherence in the future. Once the whole process is complete, your gums will begin to heal and reattach to your teeth. Gum Disease Treatment FAQs Is gum disease a common concern? Some patients feel embarrassed when they learn they’ve developed gum disease, especially if they’re committed to keeping their mouths clean. But this condition is incredibly common, so you’re not alone if you’re worried that you might have a problem. For instance, sources estimate that approximately 42% to 47% of U.S. American adults who are 30 years or older have some form of periodontal disease. Unfortunately, the prevalence of this infection only increases with age, affecting an estimated 60% to 70% of adults who are 65 years or older. Can gum disease be cured? Most oral issues don’t resolve on their own; they often worsen the longer they go untreated, and gum disease is no exception. The earliest stage, gingivitis, can often be halted and sometimes reversed by improving your at-home dental hygiene routine to include more consistent flossing. But once your condition progresses into more advanced stages, like periodontitis, it can typically be managed but not completely cured. Our team can deep-clean your tissues, but additional surgical procedures, such as gum grafts provided by a specialist, may be required to restore receding gumlines. That means preventive care is essential to preserving the health of your connective tissues because it can help you avoid developing a problem in the first place. How long does gum disease treatment take? Gingivitis can sometimes be cleared up in a couple of weeks by flossing more frequently at home. More advanced stages can be addressed with scaling and root planning, which is a two-part process that usually requires two separate appointments to complete. During your first visit, our team will carefully remove even the most stubborn plaque and tartar buildup using specialized dental instruments intended for this purpose. We’ll even reach deep into the pocket of your gums to eradicate hidden bacteria. Then, we’ll schedule a second appointment once your tissues have recovered to smooth the surface of the roots of your teeth to prevent germs from gathering and encourage your them to reconnect to your enamel, which can potentially take a few months. How can I help prevent gum disease from developing? Periodontitis can’t usually be reversed, but it can thankfully be prevented if you take a few simple precautions. Most patients can help safeguard their smile by: Implementing a routine. Brushing and flossing twice daily at home regularly removes harmful plaque and bacteria buildup that contribute to gum disease. Choosing foods carefully. Minimizing your consumption of overly sugary foods prevents unhealthy bacteria from thriving, and eating more citrus fruits and leafy greens with vitamin C can support your connective tissues. Scheduling routine checkups and cleanings. Seeing Dr. Diep every 6 months for a standard visit allows him to monitor your dental condition so that he can catch and treat any areas of concern, like swollen or sensitive gums, before they become more problematic.

Designed to fit over an affected tooth once plagued by dental decay or damage, a dental crown can last 15+ years if you commit to taking proper care of it. Since our restorations are crafted from tooth-colored materials, you’ll appreciate the blended appearance, making it easier to conceal your dental work from those around you. The Dental Crown Process At SoHay Dental, Dr. Diep will make sure a dental crown is the right method of treatment before starting the process, which is as follows: We will administer local anesthesia to numb the tooth and the surrounding area. We will begin clearing out any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth before altering it in preparation for the final crown placement. Our team will take impressions of your tooth so that the image can be sent to a local dental laboratory. There, technicians will use tooth-colored materials to craft your crown based on the size, shape, and color indicated by Dr. Diep. We will have you wear a temporary crown between appointments to not only safeguard your vulnerable tooth but also help you get a feel for what your new crown will look and feel like once put in place. After several weeks, you will return to our office and have the temporary crown removed. We’ll then secure the new restoration in place, making sure it fits snugly over your tooth and feels comfortable when you bite down. The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown Having a dental crown put in place may not be what you envisioned for your smile, but many great benefits come with this type of treatment, such as: Superior tooth protection A reduced risk of needing more invasive procedures, like a root canal or tooth extraction Improved chewing and eating abilities A more confident and beautiful smile because of the tooth-colored materials that are used Results that can last 15+ years with proper care Dental Crowns FAQs Are Dental Crowns Permanent? Although they’re technically not permanent, dental crowns are definitely considered a long-term solution. In fact, on average, they can protect your teeth from five to 15 years. Please be aware that when your dentist reshapes your tooth for a dental crown, that procedure is considered irreversible, as tooth enamel can’t grow back. Thus, that tooth will always need a crown for protection going forward. The great news is that dental crowns protect the underlying tooth from additional damage, which can help it survive for much longer than it would have otherwise. You can protect your crown and keep it in excellent condition for many years to come by maintaining your oral hygiene, visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings, and wearing a mouthguard or nightguard if necessary. Do Dental Crowns Get Cavities? Although its technically impossible for a crown to develop cavities, the tooth underneath it still can. In fact, a crowned tooth has about the same risk of decay as an uncrowned tooth. Poor oral hygiene makes it possible for bacteria and plaque to form around the gumline where the tooth meets the crown. They can then travel under the crown, causing damage to the underlying tooth. To prevent cavities in crowned teeth, use the same best practices you would with your real teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, visit your dentist twice a year for your regular exam and cleaning appointments. Can Dental Crowns Be Whitened? Unfortunately, no matter what material your crown is made of it can’t be whitened like your natural teeth can. That’s because tooth enamel is covered in tiny pores through which whitening gels can enter to break apart stains, but restorations like dental crowns do not. Thus, your crown should always remain the same color. The good news is that metal-free crowns are designed to blend in with your surrounding teeth as closely as possible, so you shouldn’t worry about them standing out. However, to minimize the risk of discoloration in your natural teeth and make your crown look obvious, ask your dentist about getting a professional whitening treatment before your crown is placed. This way, you can match it to the ideal shade of your teeth! Are Dental Crowns Covered by Insurance? The short answer to this question is yes, but not always, and not fully. Every dental insurance plan is different, but most of them consider dental crowns to be a major procedure. Thus, they are often eligible for coverage at around 50% after you’ve paid your deductible and before you’ve exceeded your annual maximum. Dental insurance typically only covers dental crowns if they’re considered medically necessary, such as to repair a decayed or damaged tooth. If you need a crown for cosmetic purposes, it may not qualify for dental insurance coverage. Even without dental insurance, your dentist welcomes other financing options to make your crown more affordable including third-party financing from CareCredit and Cherry .

Their superiority to dental bridges is evident in their placement. Let us help you smile longer by calling our SoHay Dental team to schedule a consultation for dental implants in Hayward. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Dental Implants? Partnered with Local Dental Implant Specialists State-of-the-Art Dental Technology Dentist Who Cares About Patients’ Needs & Results What Are Dental Implants? As an artificial tooth that consists of three parts - the post, the abutment, and the crown - a dental implant mimics what a natural tooth looks like. Placed beneath the gumline and into the jawbone, it serves as a means of stimulation to keep your face from collapsing and from experiencing bone atrophy. Dental implants are highly durable, capable of replacing one or multiple teeth, and can support a customized implant crown or bridge. The 4-Step Dental Implant Process To achieve the unique, long-lasting benefits of dental implants, they require a multi-step process that takes place over the course of several months. Everyone’s treatment process will look a little bit different, but here are the four main steps that every patient can expect. Read More Initial Dental Implant Consultation The first part of the dental implant process is attending a dental implant consultation. During this time, a complete examination of your mouth will occur as well as discussions regarding your oral and overall health. We’ll determine if you are healthy enough to undergo minor oral surgery and if your mouth can support whichever type of restoration you need. Some patients need preliminary procedures, like bone grafting and/or gum disease treatment, before they are able to get dental implants. If this applies to you, we will help you schedule this. Once your smile is in good shape, we can move on to the rest of the dental implant process. Dental Implant Surgery When ready for oral surgery, we’ll refer you to a local dental implant specialist whom we work closely with to ensure that the placement of your implant posts occurs safely and leaves you with beautiful results. After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, an incision is made into the gum tissue. Then, the dental implants are placed at very precise angles in the jawbone. The gums are closed, and protective caps are placed over the implants so the healing can commence. Dental Implant Osseointegration & Abutment You’ll need to spend 4-6 months allowing your mouth to fully heal. A fusion process between the dental implant and the jawbone. This is called “osseointegration” and is the reason why dental implants are so stable and long-lasting. Once healed, you’ll have your metal abutments put into place so that your restorations remain affixed to your implant posts. Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration Your restoration will be designed based on impressions taken of your smile. It is crafted in the dental laboratory and sent to our practice. Dr. Diep will secure it in place so that you may begin using it right away. If everything looks and feels as it should, you will be free to leave the office showing off your beautiful, complete smile! Who Dental Implants Can Help Are you considering dental implants for yourself? Then take the next step: schedule a consultation with our dental implant dentist in Hayward, Dr. Diep, so he can learn all about your dental needs, oral health, and smile goals. If you aren’t quite ready to schedule an appointment yet, that’s okay – you can also read on to learn more about what makes someone a good candidate for dental implants. Read More Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants? There are a few things we look for in a good dental implant candidate, starting with a strong jawbone. Healthy gums and a willingness to break bad habits, like smoking, are also essential. Fortunately, even if you aren’t a candidate right away because of bone loss or an infection in your gums, we can usually provide the care you need upfront, ensuring a complete, healthy, and beautiful smile isn’t out of reach for long. Ultimately, if you are struggling with tooth loss and are interested in dental implants, the best thing to do is schedule a consultation with us so we can learn about your unique dental needs and smile goals. Missing One Tooth If you are missing one tooth – whether from a sports-related accident or a significant cavity – we have good news: dental implants may be the solution you’ve been looking for! If we determine that it’s the best tooth-replacement option (and you agree), we will insert the implant into your jawbone and allow it to fuse together (a process known as “osseointegration”). Then, we will secure a dental crown to the top, effectively restoring the visible portion of your tooth as well. Missing Multiple Teeth If you are missing multiple teeth in a row (or several teeth throughout your mouth), there are several ways we can restore the look of your smile and the strength of your bite, including with dental implants. The first option is using an implant bridge to replace several teeth consecutively. The second is replacing each individual tooth with a single implant. The third is anchoring a partial denture with implants to replace several teeth in an arch. Missing All Teeth If you are missing every tooth in an arch or all of your teeth – you guessed it – dental implants are an option. In this case, we will need to insert a few dental implants strategically throughout your jaw. Then, we can anchor a denture in place, restoring your complete smile and the strength of your bite in the process. One of the best parts of this tooth-replacement solution is that it can last for several decades with proper care, and it’s incredibly stable, ensuring your restoration doesn’t slip out of position when you speak, laugh, or chew. Benefits of Dental Implants With dental implants, the benefits of these prosthetics extend far beyond the immediate results of a complete and beautiful-looking smile. They also deliver advantages that will impact your day-to-day life, your oral and overall health, and your future. Providing long-term results that can last 30 years or more, they’re proven to be more cost-effective than dental bridges because of the decreased chance that they’ll ever need to be replaced. Here are some of the biggest advantages you can expect with this treatment. Read More Day-to-Day Benefits Stronger Bite : With dental implants, you can regain 80% or more of your natural biting power. Not only will this help make your mouth stronger while chewing, but you can also expand your dietary choices to include more solid foods, such About SoHay Dental in Hayward, CA Skip to Main Content 29219 Mission Blvd. Hayward CA 94544 Call (510) 314-8426 Book Appointment Now Home About Us What Sets Us Apart Meet the Team Meet Dr. Diep Meet Dr. Trinh Tour Our Office Blog Our Services I Need a Checkup & Cleaning Gum Disease Treatment Dental Checkups and Cleanings I Need a Dentist for My Child I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth Dental Crowns I am Missing One or More Teeth Dental Implants Dental Implant Failure & Salvage I Want to Enhance My Smile Cosmetic Bonding Take-Home Teeth Whitening Veneers CandidPro Clear Aligners I am Scared of the Dentist I Have a Dental Emergency Tooth Extractions Wisdom Tooth Extraction For Patients Membership Your First Visit Patient Forms Patient Portal & Pay Online Insurance & Financing FAQs Reviews Contact Office Info About Our Dental Office – Hayward, CA Family-Friendly Dentistry You Can Count On Welcome to SoHay Dental!

Indeed, this procedure seems to be something of a rite of passage among teens and young adults. But what exactly does this treatment involve, and why is it so often necessary? Continue reading this page to learn more about wisdom tooth extractions in Hayward. You are also welcome to contact us if you believe it is time to schedule your wisdom tooth removal procedure. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Wisdom Tooth Extractions? Partnered with Highly Skilled Oral Surgeon Impacted Wisdom Teeth Removed In-House Sedation Available for Nervous Patients What Are Wisdom Teeth? Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars, which develop at the back of the mouth. Typically, they come in when a person is in their late teens or early 20s. Our ancient human ancestors needed wisdom teeth to consume a rough diet. In modern times, however, these teeth are viewed as vestigial. In fact, many people’s mouths are too small to accommodate them. Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed? Not everyone has to get their wisdom teeth removed. However, this procedure is often necessary because the third molars can cause significant oral health problems, especially if they are impacted (stuck beneath the gumline). For example, you may be at risk of: Pain Infections Cysts and tumors Oral hygiene challenges Cavities in nearby teeth The wisdom teeth might even push against nearby teeth, causing them to shift out of place. Our team will monitor your wisdom teeth during routine checkups and let you know when/if they should be removed. What to Expect from the Wisdom Teeth Procedure We use local anesthesia and, in some cases, sedation, to make patients comfortable during their wisdom teeth procedure. If your wisdom teeth are fully erupted, removing them should be fairly straightforward. After using an elevator to lift them, we can grasp them with forceps and rock them back and forth in order to break the tissues holding them in place. Then, we will clean the socket and place gauze to control bleeding. If your wisdom teeth are impacted, we may schedule your procedure for a day when our partner oral surgeon is visiting our office. They might need to create incisions in your gums or break your wisdom teeth into pieces in order to remove them. Recovering From Wisdom Teeth Extraction Most people feel normal within 1 – 2 weeks of their wisdom teeth procedure. In the meantime, you may experience swelling, discomfort, and intermittent bleeding. Here are some tips to facilitate a smooth recovery: Eat soft foods. Do not smoke. Do not drink through a straw. Take medications as recommended by our team. Prop your head up on pillows when you rest. Avoid strenuous physical activity.

You don't have to turn to invasive or costly cosmetic procedures to achieve a picture-perfect smile. Cosmetic bonding is an affordable and convenient method of fixing minor imperfections quickly. Dr. Henry Diep can help you achieve a smile to be proud of with natural-looking results. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Cosmetic Bonding? Natural-Looking Results Personalized Treatment Plans Flexible Payment Options What is Cosmetic Bonding? Cosmetic dental bonding is a versatile treatment that provides both aesthetic and restorative benefits. A composite resin is used to fix various issues quickly. You can achieve noticeable results in 30 to 90 minutes, depending on how many teeth you're treating. Your cosmetic dentist will clean and dry your tooth before placing a weak acid on your enamel. This opens the pores to ensure a strong bonding surface. Your tooth is rinsed and dried before placing the resin on your tooth, which will have been previously shaded to the color of your enamel. Your cosmetic dentist will mold the material and use a special dental light to harden it in just a few seconds. They'll smooth and polish your tooth to put the final touches on your beautiful new smile. Who is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding? The versatility of cosmetic bonding makes it a suitable option for many situations, like: Tooth decay Exposed tooth roots Stains and discoloration Chips or cracks Small teeth You will require an initial consultation to ensure you're a candidate for cosmetic bonding. Your dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to create a personalized treatment plan. The Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding Although there are more elective dental treatments than ever before, cosmetic bonding continues to rank among the most popular. It has several advantages, including: Minimally Invasive: You do not have to permanently alter your teeth to benefit from cosmetic bonding. You will not require extensive or invasive dental work. You can enjoy quick results with no long recovery. Looks Natural: Your dentist can match the resin to the color of your enamel to blend in with the tooth structure. You won't think twice before showing off your pearly whites because only a trained dental professional will know it is not part of your tooth. Long-Lasting Results: Dental bonding can last for 5 to 15 years before needing to be replaced. You can get the most from your investment with good oral hygiene and regular dental care. Affordable: Cosmetic bonding is among the most affordable aesthetic procedures. If it is medically necessary, like fixing a chipped tooth, your dental insurance may even cover some of the cost. It is never too late to invest in a smile to be proud of. Cosmetic bonding may be the solution for you. Book an appointment online or call our office at (510) 880-3022.

Those who struggle with dental anxiety can often forgo their regular appointments out of fear, causing them to experience worsening oral health symptoms over time. But with sedation dentistry in Hayward at SoHay Dental, Dr. Diep and our team can make these visits much less scary and instead more relaxed and calming. If you are interested in learning more about oral conscious sedation dentistry, call our office or keep reading. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Sedation Dentistry? Oral Conscious Sedation Available Children & Adults Can Benefit Caring, Compassionate, & Reassuring Dental Team Who Is a Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry? Individuals who struggle with dental anxiety are often the most obvious candidates for sedation dentistry; however, there are other reasons a person might find this method of treatment helpful. If you experience any of the following, you are welcome to discuss your candidacy with Dr. Diep: You have a fear of needles You’re unable to sit still in the dentist’s chair due to a physical disability or ailment You experienced dental trauma in the past You have a sensitive or strong gag reflex You are preparing to undergo multiple treatments in one appointment A thorough discussion of your medical history will be completed during your visit, as certain factors must be considered before agreeing to provide sedation dentistry. Certain medications and health conditions can make sedation less effective. Oral Conscious Sedation At SoHay Dental, we understand that many people feel anxious about dental care for various reasons. Whether you’re worried your procedure might hurt or simply struggle to sit still for longer periods, Dr. Diep can provide oral conscious sedation to help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your visit. Continue reading to learn more about this medication, and feel free to contact us with additional questions. Read More What is Oral Conscious Sedation? Oral conscious sedation is a medication that Dr. Diep prescribes in advance of your appointment. Typically, he’ll instruct you to take it before arriving for your visit so that the medication kicks in by the time he starts your procedure. Often, the medication consists of a benzodiazepine like Valium, Ativan, or Halcion. The effects typically kick in within about 15 minutes of swallowing the pill and can linger for the remainder of the day following your appointment. We usually ask that you plan to have someone help drive you home safely afterward because you shouldn’t be operating heavy machinery.   How Does Oral Conscious Sedation Work? The medications used are intended to reduce activity in the parts of your brain that control your fear and anxiety responses and block pain receptors. It typically induces a relaxed, drowsy, or sometimes even giddy, sensation. Many patients report feeling a slight tingling throughout their body or limbs, and you might feel sluggish or experience delayed reflexes. If you’re worried that you’ll be rendered unconscious, you can set your mind at ease. You’ll be awake enough to respond to Dr. Diep’s questions or directions but likely won’t remember the details of your procedure after the fact. Who is a Good Candidate for Oral Conscious Sedation? Although this option can potentially benefit anyone who struggles with sitting through their procedure, that doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for everyone’s unique circumstances. This sedative is ideal for patients who: Get nervous or panic during dental visits. Are fidgety or are unable to sit still for the duration. Have a sensitive gag reflex. Have another fear or phobia triggered by sitting in the dentist’s chair, like claustrophobia. Are receiving multiple treatments or have a lengthy procedure scheduled. Struggle to keep their mouth open long enough. Don’t respond well to local anesthetics. Have had negative dental experiences in the past. Sedation Dentistry FAQs Is sedation dentistry safe? Sedation dentistry is perfectly safe for most patients, and this is in part because Dr. Diep will thoroughly evaluate your health to determine if you are a good candidate for it during your consultation. This includes reviewing your medical history and current medication to ensure that there won’t be any complications. While you are sedated, our staff will carefully monitor vital signs such as your blood pressure, oxygen levels, and heart rate to ensure that you remain safe. Is sedation dentistry safe while pregnant? The drugs used for dental sedation may pass to the fetus through the placenta, so we typically won’t recommend these treatments during a patient’s first trimester. Some methods may encourage premature labor during the third trimester, so sedation is usually safest during the second trimester. However, Dr. Diep will probably recommend waiting until after the pregnancy to receive treatments that require sedation. Will I remember anything with dental sedation? While you will be technically awake while receiving oral conscious sedation, you will probably have difficulty remembering the details of your procedure. However, you will still be able to answer questions and respond to Dr. Diep’s instructions, which makes it great for all sorts of dental treatments. While you may have only a hazy memory of your dental appointment at most, this is actually great for many patients because it can prevent them from forming negative associations with dental treatment that can make them more anxious about getting needed care later. What does dental sedation feel like? Oral conscious sedation will leave you in a deep state of relaxation and may make you feel groggy or cause you to slip into light sleep. Some patients report a feeling of heaviness in their bodies or that time seems to pass more quickly. You can expect to still be experiencing the effects of oral conscious sedation after your dental treatment is over, so you’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home afterward. You should be feeling back to normal after a few hours or a good sleep session. What are the risks of sedation dentistry? Oral conscious sedation is not for everyone, and that is why Dr. Diep will carefully review your medical history and current medications to ensure that you can receive the treatment safely before recommending it. Certain mediations and conditions like obstructive sleep apnea can make complications more likely. While everyone reacts to oral conscious sedation differently, it is typically safe. During the hours after treatment, you may experience minor side effects such as nausea, headache, and grogginess, but these should pass quickly.

But what if your smile is not in proper alignment? You might feel self-conscious due to your condition. Our Hayward dental team may be able to help via the convenient and high-tech CandidPro clear aligner system. Continue reading below to learn more about it, or get in touch with our team to schedule your consultation. Why Choose SoHay Dental for CandidPro? Convenient Treatment Supported by Sophisticated Technology Efficient Orthodontic Care That is Mostly Remote Experienced Dental Team Who Cares about Your Treatment’s Success How CandidPro Works Similar to other clear aligner systems, CandidPro works by using a series of custom-made clear aligners to apply gentle pressure to the teeth. After we scan your teeth and design your treatment plan, your aligners will be mailed to you. You should wear each set of aligner trays for 20 – 22 hours each day for around 1 – 2 weeks. You will use the advanced CandidApp to keep our team updated on your progress. Some mild cases take just 6 months to complete, but some patients need to undergo treatment that lasts up to a year or longer. Indications for CandidPro CandidPro is an effective way to address many cases of mild to moderate dental misalignment. Here are a few examples of issues that it can often correct: Crowded Teeth Overlapping and crowded teeth can trap food between them, increasing your risk of cavities and gum disease. CandidPro may be able to shift your teeth in a way that allows them to function optimally and be much easier to clean. Gaps Between Teeth Unsightly gaps between your teeth may leave your gums vulnerable to harm and negatively affect your bite. Clear aligners can be an effective means of moving your teeth closer together. Bite Alignment Underbite, overbite, crossbite, and open bite are all common types of malocclusions (bad bites). In some cases, CandidPro, perhaps along with special accessories, can bring a poor bite into alignment. Benefits of CandidPro The reason CandidPro is so popular is that the aligners offer some outstanding benefits. We’ll discuss each one more in-depth at your visit, but you’re also welcome to read on to learn a few noteworthy ones in the meantime. Read More Shorter Average Treatment Timeline Typically, traditional braces take 2-3 years to deliver results. CandidPro, however, has a shorter average treatment timeline. In fact, some patients can achieve the results they desire in just six months! So, if you’re getting married soon, you have a big vacation planned, or you have another important event that you want a gorgeous smile for, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us so we can determine if you’re a good candidate. No Dietary Restrictions Since traditional braces can break with enough pressure, patients are asked to avoid crunchy and sticky foods, like whole apples and peanut butter. Fortunately, CandidPro aligners are free from dietary restrictions, so you can enjoy all of your favorite treats. Just be sure to remove your aligners when you eat to prevent them from discoloring or breaking! Easy Dental Care While traditional braces are bonded directly to your teeth, clear aligners are not. So, you don’t need to completely overhaul your dental care regimen. In fact, there’s really only one change you need to make to your routine: cleaning your aligners as well. Outside of that, you can brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash like usual! Fewer In-Person Visits Do you feel like you’re constantly on the go? Whether it’s because you’re a parent, things are busy at work, or you are taking a lot of classes this semester, you’ll be happy to know that you don’t need to attend monthly adjustment appointments. Instead, the progress visits are every 6-8 weeks, so your orthodontic treatment should have a minimal impact on your busy schedule. Improved Comfort To put it simply, CandidPro clear aligners are designed for comfort. Plus, they are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth perfectly, and they are metal-free, so you likely won’t experience any soft-tissue irritation or mouth sores on your journey to a straighter smile. Important reminder: Some soreness is normal as your teeth begin to move. To alleviate symptoms like these, sip on cool water, stick to soft foods, and, if needed, take OTC pain medication as directed. Basically Invisible Aligners Of course, the list of benefits wouldn’t be complete without touching on the discreet appearance of CandidPro aligners. Since they are see-through, low-profile, and custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, they won’t draw unwanted attention to your smile when you wear them. In fact, unless they know what to look for, even those closest to you won’t notice your braces! How Much Does CandidPro Cost? The cost of CandidPro depends on the details of each unique treatment plan. During your consultation, our team can share an estimate with you and help you understand your payment options. For example, we offer third-party financing through both CareCredit and Cherry. Applying for these provisions is easy, and most patients are readily approved. Remember, investing in your smile is a smart decision that can deliver long-term benefits! CandidPro Clear Aligner FAQs Are There Any Dietary Restrictions with CandidPro Clear Aligners? One of the many benefits of CandidPro in Hayward is that there aren’t any dietary restrictions. As a result, you can continue to eat all of your favorite foods throughout your teeth-straightening journey! With all of that said, as your dental team, we do have some recommendations. To start, exercise caution with popcorn, hard pretzels, raw carrots, and other extremely crunchy foods. It’s also a good idea to cut back on added sugar since the development of a cavity will bring your treatment plan to a temporary stop. In short, it’s important to eat lots of softer, more nutrient-dense foods, like cottage cheese, strawberries, cooked broccoli, and oatmeal. Can I Drink Coffee with CandidPro Clear Aligners? Yes, you can! There’s just one rule: you need to take your aligners off before drinking coffee, including iced coffee. Not only will this reduce your risk of tooth decay, but it will also prevent stubborn, noticeable, and yellow stains from surfacing on your teeth and your trays. How Should I Clean My CandidPro Clear Aligners? There are a few steps we recommend taking, starting with rinsing your clear aligners with cool water each time you take them out. Before you put them back on, use a damp, soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, mild dishwashing liquid to remove food particles, plaque, and other debris from the surface. Last, but certainly not least, soak them for 15 minutes or so in a cleaning solution designed specifically for clear aligners each morning or night.

Creating Healthier Futures. While no one wants to experience a cavity or cracked tooth, there is a good chance that one or the other will occur at some point in your life. Even those who have diligent oral hygiene habits can often be dealt a surprise when learning decay has formed on one or more teeth. Fortunately, at SoHay Dental, we provide restorative dentistry in Hayward in the form of dental crowns and tooth-colored fillings. Capable of restoring and rebuilding smiles, we aim to create healthier futures with our state-of-the-art techniques and technologies. Call us today to learn how we can help improve your smile. Why Choose SoHay Dental for Restorative Dentistry? Digital X-Rays for Enhanced Viewing Personalized Treatment Plans & Accurate Results State-of-the-Art Dental Technology Dental Crowns Severe dental decay and damage may not be treatable with a tooth-colored filling. When it extends beyond the enamel and penetrates the dentin layer, it often requires a more invasive approach. With dental crowns, these custom-made restorations must be carefully crafted by skilled lab technicians who have the technology and artistry to craft artificial teeth based on the size, shape, and color of those they are covering. Because the underlying teeth are vulnerable as a result of the decay or damage sustained, crowns are made to fit over the natural structures and offer a layer of durable protection. Bonded into place, they look natural in appearance so that smiles appear blended, and they safeguard against bacteria and harmful particles that might otherwise try to penetrate and reinfect the underlying teeth. When properly cared for, dental crowns can last 10-15 years, but you must commit to taking proper care of them daily. Learn More About Dental Crowns Tooth-Colored Fillings A small hole that forms inside a tooth is referred to as a cavity. If it does not penetrate beyond the enamel, it can be treated with a tooth-colored filling. Using composite resin, which is a mixture of plastic, glass, and other ceramic particles, it is matched to blend in with your existing tooth enamel. Dr. Diep will apply it to the treated tooth so that it creates a tight seal. This prevents reinfection while allowing your tooth to appear as if it received no dental work. Instead, all others will see is a beautiful, natural appearance.

Our dental team here at SoHay Dental looks forward to welcoming you and your loved ones to our Hayward dental office. Not only do we want to exceed your expectations each time you visit, but we also want you to walk away with a healthier smile that will help you to feel more confident over the years. We know switching to a new dentist or finding the right one isn’t always easy, but we want to make the process as simple and seamless as possible. Below, you will find pertinent information that is designed to help you prepare for your first visit. Feel free to call us if you have any questions. Your First Dental Visit When making an appointment with our dental office, you have the option to call or schedule online. A member of our team will verify your insurance and send digital forms for you to complete before your initial appointment. On the day of your visit, you’ll be greeted by a member of our front desk team and be free to enjoy our beverage station while you wait. A dental assistant will then escort you to an operatory room, where you will undergo digital X-rays with our Nomad system. Our doctor will then complete a full examination as well as review X-rays, intraoral photos, and all findings. The last step is to provide professional teeth cleaning before escorting you to the front desk to check out and schedule your next appointment. Dental Patient Forms There is no need to wait until you reach our dental office to fill out your new patient paperwork. Instead, we’ll send you the forms via text or email after you schedule your appointment. You can complete the information while in the comfort of your home and have it already submitted before you arrive. Start Forms - Coming Soon Patient Portal & Online Pay SoHay Dental is pleased to offer patients an easy way to schedule appointments and pay their bills. Instead of picking up the phone, you can now do it all online. Our patients will receive access to our patient portal, making it easy to make a payment, review their information, and stay on top of appointments. Patient Portal - Coming Soon Dental Insurance As an insurance-friendly dental practice, SoHay Dental welcomes most PPO dental insurance plans. This means that the services you receive (preventive and restorative) will likely be covered, in part, by your insurance company, helping to keep your costs low. A member of our team will go over your policy and benefits so that you get the most out of your plan each time you visit our office. We’ll also file any claims so that you don’t have to. Third-Party Financing If you do not have a private dental insurance plan, or you need help to pay for a complex dental treatment, Dr. Diep is pleased to partner with CareCredit & Cherry Financing. Offering low-interest and no-interest plans, you can enroll and begin to better budget for your oral healthcare needs. Based on your eligibility, there will be no surprise fees as you work to pay off your treatment over time, as the program works similarly to a credit card.
