Answers to the Most Common Dental Questions We Hear
If you’ve ever had a dental question and didn’t want to call or Google it, you’re not alone. These are some of the most common things patients ask us—before, during, and even after their visit. Whether you’re new to our practice or just want a clearer picture of how things work, we’re here to help.
General Questions
Do you accept new patients?
Yes, we’re always welcoming new patients. Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last visit, we’ll make it easy and comfortable to get started.
What makes your dental office different?
We focus on long-term relationships and personalized care. Our offices invest in the latest technology, we take time to explain your options, and we treat you like a person, not just teeth.
Do you offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies?
We do our best to accommodate same-day emergency visits. If you’re in pain or something feels off, call us right away.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We work with most major PPO plans and are happy to walk you through your benefits before treatment. If you're not sure, give us a call, we’ll help you sort it out.
Do you offer payment plans or financing?
Yes, we offer flexible options through Proceed Finance, Cherry Finance and other partners. We’ll help make sure cost doesn’t get in the way of care.
Services & Technology
Do you offer cosmetic dentistry like veneers or whitening?
We do. Whether you’re looking for a brighter smile or a complete makeover, we’ll talk through your goals and create a plan that fits you.
Can I get a clear aligner consultation?
Absolutely. We offer clear aligner options like Invisalign and SureSmile. We’ll evaluate your bite and help you decide if it’s a good fit.
What’s included in a new patient exam?
Your first visit usually includes digital x-rays, a comprehensive exam, and a cleaning (if appropriate). You’ll also have time to talk with the doctor and ask any questions.
Do you offer dental implants?
Yes. We provide implant consultations and treatment, including full-arch solutions and single tooth replacements. We start with a 3D scan to map out a custom plan just for you.
Do you use advanced technology?
We’ve invested in digital scanners, 3D imaging, and top-tier lab partners to help us deliver better results with less discomfort.
Hygiene & Prevention
How often should I get a cleaning?
Most patients do best with a cleaning every six months. Some need them more often, especially if they have a history of gum disease.
What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gumline. A deep cleaning goes below the gums and helps manage gum disease.
Do you offer fluoride or sealants for kids?
Yes. Both are simple, painless treatments that help prevent cavities and keep your child’s smile healthy.
Comfort & Experience
I have dental anxiety, can you help?
Definitely. Many of our patients feel nervous at first. We offer gentle care, a calm environment, and options like oral sedation.
Is your office kid-friendly?
Yes, we love seeing families. Our team is great with kids and we do our best to make visits fun and low-stress.
Will the dentist explain my options before treatment?
Always. We believe in no-pressure dentistry. You’ll know what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what it will cost, before we move forward.
Our Philosophy
How do you choose your materials and labs?
We only work with partners we trust. Every material and lab we use meets the same standard we’d expect for our own families.
What’s your approach to long-term dental health?
We believe prevention comes first. Our goal is to keep your smile healthy for life, not just fix issues when they pop up.
Do your doctors take continuing education?
Yes. Our team is constantly learning. We stay current on the latest research, technology, and techniques so we can give you the best care possible.
Office Logistics
What should I expect at my first visit?
A warm welcome, a thorough exam, and a chance to talk about your goals. We’ll walk through your dental health together and answer any questions you have, without rushing or pushing treatment.
