Common Questions About Family Dentistry

Most patients should have dental exams every six months. However, if you have gum disease, a history of cavities, or other risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits every 3-4 months for optimal oral health.

We perform a thorough visual examination of your teeth and gums, take digital x-rays as needed, conduct an oral cancer screening, assess your bite, and evaluate your overall oral health. We then discuss our findings and recommend any necessary treatments.

Yes, our digital x-rays use 90% less radiation than traditional film x-rays. The amount of radiation is extremely small – less than you'd get from a day of natural background radiation. We only take x-rays when medically necessary.

A comprehensive dental exam typically takes 45-60 minutes. This includes time for x-rays, the clinical examination, oral cancer screening, and discussion of findings and treatment recommendations.

Brush and floss before your visit, bring a list of current medications, and prepare any questions about your oral health. If you have dental anxiety, let us know so we can help you feel more comfortable with our sedation options.

Most dental insurance plans cover routine exams and x-rays at 100% when you visit an in-network dentist. We'll verify your benefits before your appointment and help you understand your coverage.
