FAQs
What’s the importance of regular dental check-ups?
Visiting the dentist regularly can help prevent bigger dental issues from developing over time. Problems can be spotted early on and corrected before they require major intervention in the form of a more invasive dental procedure. Consistent check-ups are the best way to achieve lasting, positive oral health.
Do I need a referral to see a general dentist?

Are dental X-rays safe?
Absolutely. Dental X-rays are a completely safe procedure and offer the dentist extremely valuable information to ensure subsequent treatments are completed properly and successfully. That information will be used to choose the right treatments and execute them correctly the first time for optimal patient outcomes.
What is periodontal disease, and how is it treated?
Periodontal disease is a form of gum disease. Depending on the severity of the situation and the needs of the patient, there are a range of treatment options for gum disease. Many cases can be addressed with deep cleaning or gum scaling, while in more severe cases, gum surgery might be necessary.
