Frequently asked questions
We know planning a visit comes with questions! Our FAQs below cover the important details and helpful tips.
-
Are you accepting new patients?

Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last dental appointment, our team is here to help you feel comfortable. We take pride in providing a judgment-free environment where every patient is treated with empathy and respect.
Your first visit will include a comprehensive exam, a detailed review of your oral health, and time to talk through any concerns or goals you have. We’ll ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.

-
How often should I come in for a dental cleaning?
You should aim to visit us for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. These regular visits allow us to identify potential issues early, such as the first signs of decay or gum disease, allowing us to address them before they become more serious or costly to treat.
However, some patients may need to visit more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances like aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup. Your dentist will work closely with you to develop a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs. This way, you'll always receive the perfect level of care exactly when you need it, making your dental experience as comfortable and effective as possible.
Even if everything looks great, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't remove, and they’re key to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
-
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit is designed to be both thorough and welcoming. From seamless booking to family-friendly touches, we’ve thought of everything to make your experience comfortable from the moment you arrive.
Here’s what it includes:
- A complete oral exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall dental health
- Digital X-rays for an in-depth look below the surface of your oral structures
- A gentle, professional cleaning tailored to your needs
- A one-on-one discussion with your dentist to discuss findings, answer questions, and develop a treatment plan
We’ll also review your dental history, talk about your goals (whether it’s improving your oral health or brightening your smile), and give you time to ask questions without feeling rushed.
The environment is designed to be calm and soothing, helping you relax and enjoy caring for your smile.
-
