FAQ

How often should I have preventive dental visits?

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings and exams every six months. However, Dr. Wong may recommend more frequent visits if you have gum disease, a history of cavities, or other risk factors. During your initial examination, we'll create a personalized prevention schedule that's right for your specific oral health needs and helps you maintain optimal dental health.

How does modern technology improve preventative dental care?

Advanced dental technology allows for earlier detection of potential issues, more accurate diagnoses, and more comfortable patient experiences. Modern tools help dentists identify problems when they're small and easier to treat, which is the foundation of preventative care.

Is preventive care covered by dental insurance?

Yes, most dental insurance plans cover preventive services like cleanings and exams at 100%. We accept most insurance plans and will help you understand your benefits before treatment. For patients without insurance, we offer membership plans that make regular preventive care affordable and convenient.

What's included in a preventive dentistry visit?

Your preventive visit includes a comprehensive examination, professional cleaning, digital X-rays when needed, and an oral cancer screening. Dr. Wong will also discuss your home care routine and provide personalized recommendations to keep your smile healthy between visits.

How does preventive care save money long-term?

Preventive care catches problems when they're small and simple to treat. A small filling costs much less than a root canal and crown. Regular cleanings prevent gum disease that can lead to tooth loss. By investing in prevention now, you avoid the time, expense, and discomfort of major dental procedures later.

What makes your preventive care different?

Dr. Wong takes time to educate each patient rather than rushing through appointments. As a private practice, we focus on building relationships and providing personalized care rather than meeting corporate quotas.
