We generally recommend visiting us at least every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. These regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health, remove plaque buildup, and catch any issues early before they turn into larger problems. Some patients with specific conditions may benefit from more frequent visits.
Signs of gum disease often include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and increasing tooth sensitivity. You may also notice gum recession or discomfort while chewing. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment so we can evaluate your gums and prevent the condition from progressing.
You have several effective choices, including dental implants, bridges, and removable partial dentures. Each option has unique benefits, and we’ll walk you through your options based on your oral health, lifestyle, and long-term goals. During your consultation, we’ll help you select the solution that offers the best function, comfort, and aesthetics.
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency—such as severe pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth—call our office right away. We’ll guide you on immediate steps to take and schedule you for urgent care as soon as possible. Quick action can make a big difference in saving a tooth and relieving discomfort.
Coverage varies widely depending on your insurance provider and plan, but we’re happy to review your benefits and provide a clear cost estimate beforehand. Our team works with you to understand what’s covered, what your out-of-pocket costs may be, and how to maximize your insurance benefits.
We offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation to help patients feel calm and comfortable during their visits. Whether you experience anxiety or are undergoing a longer procedure, we’ll discuss the types of sedation available and determine which one is best suited to your needs and medical history.
That’s completely okay—many patients feel the same way. Dr. White will begin with a comprehensive exam and assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. From there, our team will discuss your concerns, review our findings, and create a personalized treatment plan that clearly outlines the services recommended for your smile.
