5 GREAT REASONS TO GO TO THE DENTIST!

It's been estimated that half of all Americans don't go to the dentist regularly. If you're one of the 50%, see why you should make regular dental visits a priority.

                                                    Catch Problems While They're Small


If you regularly visit the dentist, your dentist will be able to tell you about smaller problems that you can easily and inexpensively get fixed.   The quicker you get a cavity filled, for example, the longer the filling will last.   If you put off getting a cavity filled while it's small, it could cost significantly more to get it fixed when it needs a root canal and crown a few years down the road.  You won't feel any symptoms with most dental problems until they are advanced.   If you have gum disease, it's important that you get it treated.   However, unless you develop a gum abscess or have gum disease that is at a very advanced stage, you likely won't experience any pain.



Dental Care Has Come a Long Way

If you had a bad experience in the past, let me assure you that dentistry has come a long way.  There have been many recent advancements in the kinds of materials that we can use to fix your teeth. Many modern restorations such as crowns and veneers look completely natural and can give you the kind of smile you've always wanted.


There Are Ways to Alleviate Dental Fear

There are many drugs that you can take before you come to your appointment to make you drowsy so that you will be less anxious during your procedure.  Also, if needles frighten you, we can fill small cavities without any anesthetic.  If you do require an anesthetic, there are very strong topical gels that can be placed on your gums before the injection to make the injection nearly painless. 


Get a Deal!

Many dentists, like us, are running New Patient Specials.   We know once we get a new patient to come in, they will be our patients for life!   We currently have openings for new patients and do give discounts!
 


Financing Options

In some circumstances, we are willing to accept payments for dental work performed rather than requiring the full amount at the time of service.  Please call us for details.



There's No Time Like The Present

If you've made it this far, go ahead and make that appointment!   If you're hesitant to make a dental appointment, feel free to leave a comment below and let us know why.  We're happy to get back to you to address any concerns you might have.
