FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Adult Dental Care
How often should adults visit the dentist?
Most adults should schedule dental checkups and professional cleanings every six months. However, if you have specific conditions like gum disease, diabetes, or a history of frequent cavities, we may recommend more frequent visits such as every 3-4 months. Your recommended schedule will be based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and dental history. Regular preventive visits help catch small issues before they become costly problems, saving you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
I haven't been to a dentist in years. What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit after a long absence will be thorough but judgment-free. We'll start with a comprehensive exam including digital x-rays, gum health assessment, oral cancer screening, and evaluation of existing dental work. We'll take time to discuss your dental history, concerns, and goals. Based on this assessment, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan prioritizing urgent issues first, then addressing other needs in a manageable sequence. Many patients are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and stress-free modern dentistry can be, especially in our racing-themed, relaxed environment.
Does dental insurance cover adult dental care?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive care (exams, cleanings, x-rays) at 80-100%, basic procedures (fillings, extractions) at 70-80%, and major procedures (crowns, bridges, dentures) at 50%. However, coverage varies significantly between plans. Cosmetic treatments like whitening or veneers typically aren't covered. We accept most PPO insurance plans and will verify your benefits before treatment. For adults with Medicaid, coverage is limited but may include basic services. Our office team will help maximize your insurance benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs clearly. We also offer financing options to make necessary care affordable.
What can I do about dental anxiety as an adult?
Dental anxiety is extremely common among adults, and we take it seriously. Our racing-themed environment creates a more relaxed, less clinical atmosphere from the moment you arrive. We offer various approaches to reduce anxiety, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, and longer appointment times to ensure you never feel rushed. Our team excels at clear communication—explaining procedures beforehand and checking in regularly during treatment. Many anxious patients tell us our compassionate approach has transformed their dental experience.
