General Dentistry FAQs
Is general dentistry covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive dental procedures like cleanings, exams, and X-rays, as well as portions of restorative treatments. Our team at Steele Creek Smiles will work with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits.
Are dental treatments painful?
With modern techniques and anesthesia, most dental treatments are pain-free. At Steele Creek Smiles, we prioritize your comfort with a relaxing environment.
How can I prevent cavities?
To prevent cavities, brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary foods and drinks, and visit Steele Creek Smiles regularly for dental cleanings and oral exams.
What happens during a general dentistry checkup?
During a general dentistry checkup appointment, the dentist will carefully examine the teeth and gums to check. X-rays may be taken once a year to check for any internal problems that are not visible to the naked eye. Additionally, the general dentist will offer the patient recommendations on certain things to help improve oral and dental health.
Will I get my teeth cleaned during a checkup?
Yes. Most general dentistry checkup appointments combine an examination and cleaning into one appointment. The general dentist will examine the teeth and may take X-rays. Then the patient will visit the dental hygienist for a deep cleaning.
The hygienist will usually perform a fluoride treatment as well, which is a common practice in general dentistry. Fluoride helps strengthen the enamel and prevent decay.
