How often should I visit my family dentist?
We recommend visiting our practice every six months for routine exams and cleanings. These regular visits help our team catch problems early, prevent decay and gum disease, and keep your smile healthy at every stage of life.
How can I tell if I have gum disease?
Signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an exam so we can evaluate your gum health and recommend the right treatment.
What can I do about chronic bad breath?
Chronic bad breath may be caused by plaque buildup, gum disease, or other dental issues. Regular brushing, flossing, and cleanings can help, but it’s best to visit us for a full evaluation so we can identify and treat the source.
What can I do about my stained/discolored teeth?
Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. We offer in-office and take-home options to remove stains caused by food, drinks, and aging. For deeper discoloration, veneers or bonding may be recommended.
What are my options for replacing missing teeth?
We offer several options for replacing missing teeth, including dental bridges, full or partial dentures, and dental implants. Each option is tailored to your needs, helping restore function, appearance, and confidence in your smile.
Can I schedule a same-day emergency appointment?
We accept same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or a dental injury, give us a call right away so we can provide prompt, compassionate care and relieve your discomfort.
Can I get old dental restorations replaced?
Our team can replace old or worn-out fillings, crowns, or bridges with newer, more durable, and natural-looking materials to improve both function and appearance. We’ll assess your restorations and recommend the best solutions.
