General Dentistry FAQs
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for routine exams and cleanings. Some patients with gum disease or higher risk of decay may benefit from more frequent visits.
What happens during a routine dental exam?
A routine exam includes a full evaluation of your teeth and gums, digital X-rays when needed, oral cancer screening, and a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.
Are dental cleanings painful?
Dental cleanings are generally comfortable and gentle. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, our team will adjust techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the visit.
Do you treat cavities with tooth-colored fillings?
Yes. We use tooth-colored composite fillings to restore cavities while preserving the natural appearance and strength of your teeth.
Can general dentistry help prevent bigger dental problems?
Absolutely. Preventive care allows us to detect issues early, often avoiding the need for more complex treatments such as root canals or extractions.
Do you see children for general dentistry?
Yes. We provide general dental care for children, including exams, cleanings, sealants, and education to help establish healthy oral habits early.
What if I have dental anxiety?
We prioritize patient comfort and offer gentle techniques and sedation options to help patients feel relaxed during general dental visits.
Does insurance cover general dentistry?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services such as exams, cleanings, and X-rays. Our team verifies benefits and explains coverage before treatment.

What's included in a general dentistry visit?
A typical preventive visit includes a hygiene cleaning, x-rays as needed, an exam by your dentist, oral cancer screening, and a discussion of any treatment recommendations. We aim for thoroughness without rush.
Do you treat kids?
Yes - we see patients of all ages. Most kids do great in our chairs from age 3 onward. For complex pediatric cases (severe anxiety, special needs), we may refer to a pediatric specialist.
I haven't been to a dentist in years. Will you judge me?
Never. A lot of our new patients haven't been in for 5+ years. We'll start with where you are and build a plan together - no lectures.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
New patient routine appointments are usually available within 1-2 weeks. Same-day emergency slots open every day for patients in pain.
What if I don't have insurance?
We have transparent self-pay specials on every common procedure - see our specials page. The $129 New Patient Special covers your first comprehensive visit.
