A Dental Checklist for Your Next Visit

It’s time to see the dentist again, are you ready?

Regular visits to the dentist are essential for more than just a dazzling smile, and good dental care is critical to your overall health. Likewise, changes in your overall health can impact your dental health. Conditions such as diabetes, asthma, or high blood pressure, have significant impact on your oral health. Some medications can cause side effects such as dry mouth; while not only uncomfortable, left unchecked, it can increase the risk of cavities and gum disease. Your dentist can help.

These are excellent reasons to keep up with regular dental health visits, even if it may not be your favorite thing to do. At Prosthodontics & Implant Therapy, our dedicated team of dental professionals are dedicated to providing state of the art dental treatments in a warm, welcoming, and comfortable environment. We strive to put our patients at ease, knowing they are in the capable hands of our expert dental treatment team.

Whether you are a patient who makes it into the office twice a year for regular checkups or it’s been a while, we at Prosthodontics & Implant Therapy are happy to see you and committed to helping you be your healthiest. That’s sure to make you flash that dazzling smile more often!

Let this dental checklist help you get the most out of your next appointment.

Dental plans can change. Having the most recent information is important to facilitate ease of communication between our office and your insurance. Our office will handle all of your insurance needs, including sending itemized receipts from your visit to your insurance.
