Do whitening toothpastes work?
Generally, whitening toothpastes don’t change the color of your teeth. Virtually all toothpastes work in the same manner. Make sure to choose toothpaste that contains fluoride, which helps fight tooth decay.
Does your office use lasers?
We don’t utilize dental lasers because of their high cost and somewhat limited applications. Often, lasers aren’t practical for day-to-day procedures. For gum treatment, our traditional techniques save our patients money and provide results equivalent to those of laser therapy.
Is whitening safe? Will it damage my teeth?
The products we use safely whiten teeth without causing damage. In some cases, patients may experience temporary sensitivity after whitening. Talk to your dentist about whether whitening is a good option for brightening your smile.
I can’t get off work. Do you have extended hours?
For your convenience, we have late hours one evening a week, when we’re open until 9 p.m. and Saturday hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Will you see my family, including my kids?
In our practice, we look forward to treating patients of all ages, including children. We can provide complete dental care for your whole family, so call our office to schedule an appointment.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept insurance, but coverage varies, call us for details. Our office staff will generate an estimate and file insurance claims for you. Please realize that your benefits will probably not cover the full cost of dental services. For your convenience, we accept cash, check, credit cards, and third-party financing from CareCredit and CapitalOne Healthcare Finance.
