Q & A
We know dental care can come with many questions. At Hume Dental Group, our goal is to provide clear, honest information to help you make informed decisions about your oral health. While we offer thorough assessments and tailored treatment options for every individual, we always encourage patients to seek a second opinion from a qualified healthcare provider if needed.

Absolutely! We offer several discreet orthodontic options such as Clear aligners, and lingual braces—attached to the inner surface of your teeth for an invisible solution. Book a consultation to explore your options.
Lingual braces are placed on the backside of your teeth, making them invisible from the front. They’re a great option for patients who want the benefits of braces without the visible metal.
Invisalign and Clear Aligners aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and comfortable. They offer a convenient way to straighten your teeth without interfering with your lifestyle.
Our gentle laser gum contouring treatment removes excess gum tissue without needles or sutures. It’s a fast-healing, low-pain option to enhance the appearance of your smile.
Depending on the severity, treatment can include deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, or laser-assisted procedures to reduce inflammation and restore gum health.
This type of surgery addresses jaw misalignment, bone loss from dentures, or structural issues. Our dental professionals can evaluate your needs and suggest an appropriate solution.
Laser technology makes treatments faster, less invasive, and more comfortable. It reduces the need for sedation, enhances precision, and often shortens recovery time.
We offer two effective whitening methods: in-chair treatment for fast results and take-home kits for convenience. We’ll help you decide which works best for your lifestyle.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed over the front of teeth to correct chips, stains, or gaps. They’re a durable and natural-looking solution to enhance your smile.
