Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I see the dentist?
We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and exam. Regular visits help us catch small issues before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems.
What can I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit will include a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays (if needed), a professional cleaning, and plenty of time to discuss your health history, concerns, and goals. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Do dental cleanings hurt?
Dental cleanings should not be painful. You may feel some pressure or slight sensitivity, but our hygienists use gentle techniques and communicate with you throughout the process to ensure you’re at ease.
What if I have dental anxiety?
We understand that dental visits can be stressful for some patients. Our warm, friendly team takes extra care to explain procedures, answer your questions, and create a calm environment. We’ll work at your pace and prioritize your comfort.
Do you offer flexible payment options?
Yes! We accept most insurance plans and offer flexible payment options for those without insurance. Our team is happy to walk you through costs and coverage so there are no surprises.
How do I know if I need treatment?
We believe in transparency and education. If we recommend treatment, we’ll show you exactly what we see, explain your options, and answer all your questions so you feel confident in your care.
