General Dentistry

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I see the dentist?

Routine dental visits every six months help maintain healthy teeth and gums, and allow for early detection of potential issues.

Are dental cleanings painful?

Most patients find cleanings to be comfortable. For those with sensitivity, we use gentle techniques and can recommend desensitizing products.

When should my child have their first dental visit?

Your child should visit the dentist by age one, or within six months of their first tooth erupting.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes. We use low-radiation digital X-rays that are safe and essential for diagnosing issues that may not be visible during a visual exam.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to assist with claim processing and benefit verification.

Laser dentistry uses precise, minimally invasive technology to treat cavities, gum disease, and perform cosmetic procedures—often with less discomfort and faster healing than traditional methods.

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements anchored into the jawbone. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and adequate bone structure. A thorough evaluation helps determine eligibility.

Recovery varies by procedure, but most patients return to normal activities within a few days. We provide detailed post-op care instructions and are always available for follow-up.
