General dentistry services in Fayetteville

Why Are Dental Appointments Necessary?

Many people have dental phobia, so they delay getting routine dental exams and other treatments until long past the time they should have gotten them. When you don't have good oral health, you can't have good overall health, so going to the dentist improves your overall health as well as your oral health. Research has correlated the onset of serious physical ailments with poor oral health, so don't neglect your annual exam and cleaning or any other dental procedure you need. Neglecting your teeth and gums can cause you to lose all your teeth and develop periodontal disease, so make sure you take good care of your teeth.

Improvements in the field of dentistry have made even root canals almost painless, so don't fear your time in the dentist's chair. If you have anxiety, talk to your dentist about it. If you have any questions, call our Fayetteville office, and we'll answer them.

What Does General Dentistry Encompass?

How Frequently Should I See A Dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends a yearly exam and cleaning, but the dentists in our Fayetteville office recommend twice-yearly visits for optimal health. Some dental issues, such as oral cancer, develop without symptoms, so even if you have an excellent oral hygiene regimen, you can have a dental problem but be unaware of it. Your dentist can spot anomalies that you missed.

What Will My Dental Visit Cost?

The cost of your dental appointment will be unique to you and will depend on your procedure and your insurance coverage. We recommend that you speak to your insurance provider before your appointment so you know your plan benefits, exclusions, and copays. Bring that information with you.

What Happens During A Teeth Cleaning Procedure?

When you come to our Fayetteville office for your exam and cleaning, we'll first examine your teeth and mouth, then remove any plaque and tartar, then we'll rinse and polish your teeth so you'll have whiter teeth and fresher breath.

How Long Will My Procedure Take?

The duration of your appointment will depend on the procedure, but we generally recommend you allow an hour for a typical visit. If you're having a follow-up appointment, it should take less time.

What Do I Need To Bring?

When you come to your appointment, we recommend you bring the following:

1. A list of all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements
2. A copy of your insurance information
3. Valid photo identification

Be sure your medication list is accurate. Some may interact with some types of dental medications, so we want to prevent that.
