If You Have Dental Questions, We Can Help!
Do you have questions about dental insurance coverage, your oral hygiene routine, or any of the treatments we offer? Our team is happy to get you the answers you need to make the best decision for your smile. Below, we’ve compiled some of the most frequently asked questions we get from our patients, but if you don’t see the answers you’re looking for, feel free to call us!
How often should I get a checkup and cleaning?
The American Dental Association, along with pretty much all dentists, recommend receiving a checkup and cleaning once every six months. These are typically 100 percent covered by dental insurance plans, and they’re a crucial part of maintaining excellent oral health.
Why do I need professional cleanings if I brush and floss?
Even if you brush and floss, there are hard-to-reach areas of your mouth that can collect debris and plaque. If plaque isn’t removed from your teeth, it will harden into tartar, which can only be cleared away with a professional cleaning. By removing all plaque from your teeth every six months, you can drastically reduce your risk of developing common oral health problems like cavities and gum disease.
Can I bring my child to Bell Road Dentistry?
Our team is happy to treat children, and we even offer several kid-friendly treatments to keep developing smiles healthy!
How long will it take to fix my tooth?
If the damage is minimal, we can utilize our cosmetic bonding treatment to repair it, which typically only takes between 30 minutes to an hour. If a larger portion of your tooth is missing, we may recommend having a crown or porcelain veneer placed. This process can take up to a couple weeks, due to the fact that we’ll need to custom-craft your restoration.
How much will my appointment cost?
The cost of your dental visit will be determined by what services and treatments you receive. If you have dental insurance, we’ll make sure you get the most out of your benefits by maximizing your coverage ad filing claims on your behalf. We’re always transparent about the cost of any procedures we suggest so that there aren’t any unpleasant surprises when you checkout.
Will you accept my dental insurance?
Yes! At Bell Road Dentistry, our team is happy to be in-network with several major PPO plans and we’re more than happy to file claims on your behalf, even if you’re not within our network. If you have any questions about your coverage or need help navigating your benefits, feel free to call our office!
I don’t have dental insurance. How else can I save on my dental care?
If you don’t have dental insurance, we recommend that you check out our Bell Dental Discount Plan! For a flat, low monthly rate, you can receive many of the same benefits as people with dental insurance without the hassle of maximums, deductibles, waiting periods, and claim forms.
