Dental Care FAQ

All the answers to your questions can be found here, and if a new question pops up, don't worry feel free to call us

How often should I have a dental check-up?

We recommend visiting every six months for a routine exam and cleaning. This helps us catch small issues early and keep your teeth and gums healthy for the long run.

What is periodontal disease, and how do you treat it?

Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the gums. We use in-house bacterial analysis to identify your specific risk and offer nonsurgical treatments tailored to your condition. With proper care, it’s manageable and often reversible.

Are your whitening treatments safe and effective?

Yes! We offer professional tooth whitening that’s safe, fast, and far more effective than over-the-counter options. We’ll make sure your treatment is customized for your teeth and goals.

What kind of fillings do you use?

We use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your teeth. They’re durable, mercury-free, and a great option for both new cavities and replacing old metal fillings.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept all major dental insurance plans and are happy to go over your benefits with you. Just give us a call—we’ll take care of the rest.

I grind my teeth at night. Can you help?

We use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your teeth. They’re durable, mercury-free, and a great option for both new cavities and replacing old metal fillings.

Do you offer options for straighter teeth without braces?

Yes, we offer clear aligners as a comfortable, discreet alternative to metal braces. During your consultation, we’ll determine if you’re a good candidate.
