How does the dentist keep up to date on all of the current techniques and technologies?
Dr. Hussin has taken close to 1,000 hours of continuing education programs in the last few years, many at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. The other members of our team each take many hours a year. If we see a program or course that we believe will improve our skills and our service to patients, we take it.
Can you show me what my smile can look like ahead of time?
Yes. We can show you many examples of patients who have had similar work done by Dr. Hussin. We’ll construct wax models so you can see your mouth in three dimensions. We’ll also make temporary work so you can wear the teeth and be sure you’re comfortable with it before the final work is done.
At what age should my children first see a dentist?
We recommend that children come in for an introductory visit to the dentist between the ages of two and three.
Do you accept referrals?
Yes! We love getting referrals from our current patients. We appreciate your trust and confidence in our abilities.
Do you accept my insurance plan?
We do accept most insurances, although we do not participate in any dental HMO’s. We will file all necessary claim forms and supporting materials for you and, if possible, will accept direct payment from your insurer.
What do I do if I have an emergency and the office is closed?
Call the office number for directions on how to reach the dentist, Dr. Hussin, on his cell phone.
What different payment options do you provide?
We offer a variety methods for payments, including cash, check and charge. We offer a five percent cash prepayment deduction. We also work with outside financing services that provide some interest-free financing for larger cases.
I want my front teeth to look better, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?
We can suggest several options. You might want to consider Invisalign invisible braces, which can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing that you are wearing braces. Another possibility is the use of veneers, which can make your teeth appear straighter and more attractive.
What is smile design?
Smile design is the process that Dr. Hussin uses to assure that a patient gets the smile that they want-a smile that looks and works right for their face. He considers a patient’s face shape, face height, occlusion (the alignment of teeth of the upper and lower jaws), as well as tooth shape, color and height to width ratio.
Can I ask the dentist a question directly?
Yes! We offer complimentary consultation appointments where patients can ask the dentist, Dr. Hussin, any questions that they have, as well as review plans for their treatment. This process minimizes surprises and gives you a good understanding of what to expect before, during and after treatment.
