Frequently Asked Questions
Most adults should see a general dentist every six months for a cleaning and exam. Patients with gum disease, a history of cavities, diabetes, or other risk factors may benefit from more frequent visits every three to four months. Your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your specific oral health.
A comprehensive exam includes digital X-rays, a visual and tactile evaluation of every tooth, periodontal probing to check gum health, an oral cancer screening, and a bite assessment. If you are a new patient, we also review your full medical and dental history to identify risk factors.
We are out-of-network with most PPO insurance plans but submit claims directly to all major carriers including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, and Guardian. Most PPO patients still receive significant coverage. Call us with your insurance details and we will verify your benefits before your first visit.
You are not alone, and there is no judgment here. Many of our patients come to us after five, ten, or even twenty years away from dental care. We start with a gentle comprehensive exam to understand where you stand, then build a realistic plan to get your oral health back on track at a pace you are comfortable with.
