Have a Question? We’re Here to Help
We’ve gathered answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we hear from patients. If you don’t see your question below, feel free to contact our office and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.
1. What should I expect during my first visit?
At your first appointment, we’ll take time to get to know you, review your medical history, and perform a full dental exam. This typically includes digital X-rays, a professional cleaning, and an evaluation of your gums and teeth. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, informed, and cared for from the start.
2. Do you accept my dental insurance?
We work with most major PPO dental insurance plans and are happy to help you use your benefits. While plan coverage can vary, our front desk team will verify your details and walk you through any expected costs. If you’re unsure about your insurance, give us a call and we’ll be glad to look into it before your visit. We also offer payment options for uninsured patients.
3. What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or have a chipped or knocked-out tooth, call our office right away. We offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies and can walk you through next steps over the phone. Don’t wait, early treatment can make a big difference.
4. How does professional teeth whitening compare to over-the-counter options?
Professional whitening treatments are stronger and more effective than store-bought kits. We offer both in-office and take-home options, each tailored to your specific needs and sensitivity level. Patients typically see faster and more noticeable results with professional care.
5. Is Invisalign a good option for adults?
Yes, Invisalign is an excellent orthodontic solution for teens and adults. The clear aligners are discreet, removable, and typically more comfortable than metal braces. Treatment times vary depending on the case, but many patients see results in 12 – 18 months.
