How often should I see the dentist for checkups and cleanings?

Most patients should schedule a checkup and cleaning every six months. However, if you have gum disease or other oral health concerns, we may recommend more frequent visits.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or a dental injury, call us right away. We offer same-day appointments whenever possible and can provide after-hours guidance for urgent situations.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes. We use modern digital X-ray technology, which significantly reduces radiation exposure while providing highly accurate diagnostic images. X-rays are an important tool for detecting dental issues early.

What can I expect at my first visit?

Your first visit includes completing new patient forms, a comprehensive exam, cleaning, and digital X-rays (if needed). We’ll also discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

How do I take care of my teeth at home between visits?

Good oral hygiene starts with brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily. We also recommend fluoride toothpaste, a balanced diet low in sugar, and regular use of dental tools like interdental brushes or water flossers if needed. Our team will provide personalized tips at your visit.

What cosmetic options are available to improve my smile?

We offer a variety of cosmetic treatments to enhance your smile, including professional teeth whitening, veneers, Invisalign®, bonding, crowns, and dental implants. We’ll work with you to design a plan that achieves your goals.
