Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend visit the dentist every six months for a regular checkup and cleaning. However, the frequency may vary depending on your oral health. Some patients may need to come in more often if they have gum disease, braces, or other dental conditions.

We accept most PPO insurance plans. Please contact us and our team will verify your insurance coverage. We also offer in-house membership plans for those without dental insurance.

Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when done under the supervision of a dentist. Over-the-counter products can be effective, but they are less potent than treatments available in a dental office and may cause sensitivity if used incorrectly.

Dental X-rays are essential for detecting problems that are not visible during a regular exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other hidden issues. They help us provide the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

There are several options for replacing a missing tooth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. The best option for you depends on your oral health, budget, and personal preferences. We can discuss the pros and cons of each during your consultation.

Yes, we offer dental services for patients of all ages, including children. We focus on making visits fun and educational for kids to help them develop good oral hygiene habits early on.

We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Electric toothbrushes can be especially effective in removing plaque. The best toothpaste will depend on your specific needs, such as sensitivity, gum health, or whitening.

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment for a thorough evaluation.

Yes, we offer alternatives to traditional braces, such as clear aligners like Invisalign and OrthoFX. These are nearly invisible, removable trays that gradually straighten your teeth. We’ll assess if you’re a good candidate during your consultation.

Yes, dental care is generally safe during pregnancy, especially routine checkups and cleanings. However, elective procedures may be postponed until after delivery. If you are pregnant, please provide a medical clearance letter from your OBGYN. This helps us take any necessary precautions to ensure the safety of both you and your baby.
