When you visit with us, we want you to be comfortable with an questions that you or a family member might have about great oral care. Some of the more popular questions that are asked are listed below for your convenience. At anytime that you or a family member has a question, please feel free to ask!
My gums bleed after or when I brush. Should I be worried?
Bleeding is a sign of a problem and when gums bleed the reason generally is due to the individual brushing too hard or early-stages gum disease (gingivitis) may be taking place. Gum disease often is the reason for tooth loss for American adults, and it continues to be associated with many health issues. Those include stroke, heart attack, and respiratory problems. We can suggest options that can help reverse this disease and get your gums back to their healthy state.
Do you accept insurances plans?
Yes, and we accept most insurances and for your convenience, we can file out of network claims. In most cases, dental insurance covers some preventive and restorative procedures. Cosmetic treatment methods are not usually covered. Should you have questions, give us a call. We’ll be happy to explain to you what your insurance can cover.
Will you care for my entire family?
Absolutely. We love creating, healthy smiles for patients of all ages. That’s our goal and because we are a general dentist office, our preventive, prosthetic, restorative and cosmetic dental services are ideal for patients of all ages.
Does your office provide removable braces?
Yes. We offer a removable option to traditional braces. Invisalign utilizes 3D imaging to design a customized set of aligners. It is important that the patient wears a new aligner every couple of weeks. However, for big events, simply remove the aligner. This makes cleaning effortless, too. For those who aren’t a candidate for Invisalign, consider traditional braces with clear brackets as these are less obvious and are favored by teens and adults alike.
I don’t want to wear braces, but I would like my teeth straightened.
Misalignments, gaps in teeth, discolorations, chips in teeth and various other imperfections can be corrected by porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are among the most popular cosmetic dentistry techniques available today from Hollywood to Beverly Hills to Oklahoma City!
Is there a way to safely whiten my teeth?
Did you know that since the 1700s there has been some forms of teeth whitening? Thankfully today’s whitening uses a safer and more effective bleaching gel to rid teeth of stains and discoloration. Select from Zoom! Whitening in our office or convenient take-home teeth-whitening kits.
What should I do before my first appointment to make things run more smoothly?
Once you make your first appointment, we will send you a new patient packet containing forms and brochures. Please complete the forms before in addition to any questions you have for us before your first visit. These can also be viewed and printed from our website!
Will I be charged if I have to cancel an appointment?
Your time is definitely an invaluable commodity, as is the time of all of our valued patients. Once you let us know that you’re going to miss an appointment, we will give another patient your time slot. Please provide us with 48 hours notice if you have to cancel or reschedule. We reserve the right to assess a fee should you not provide us with this courtesy.
