Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?
Most patients benefit from a cleaning and exam every 6 months. These visits help prevent cavities, catch problems early, and keep your gums healthy. If you’re prone to gum disease or have ongoing dental concerns, our College Station general dentists may recommend more frequent visits.
What happens during a routine dental exam?
Your visit typically includes a professional cleaning, a full exam of your teeth and gums, and screenings for issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. If needed, we may take x-rays to check areas you can’t see visually.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
You may need a root canal if you have persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, a pimple-like bump on the gums, or pain when biting. We’ll confirm the cause with an exam and imaging before recommending treatment.
Do you offer custom mouthguards for sports?
Yes. Custom mouthguards provide superior comfort and protection compared to store-bought options. They’re designed specifically for your bite, helping reduce the risk of chipped teeth, jaw injury, and other sports-related dental trauma.
Can I get same-day care for a dental emergency?
Yes. We provide same-day emergency dentistry whenever possible to relieve pain quickly and address the problem before it gets worse. Call (979) 846-7799 for urgent care.
Do you treat children and adults?
Yes! New patients of all ages are always welcome. Our team provides family-friendly general dentistry for kids, teens, adults, and seniors.
Do you offer sedation dentistry?
Yes. If you feel anxious about dental visits or need extra comfort during treatment, we offer sedation dentistry options to help you relax. Our team will review your health history and recommend the safest, most effective sedation choice for your needs so you can receive the care you need with peace of mind.
