Are you accepting new patients?

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card, a list of current medications, and your completed patient forms to make check-in quick and easy.

Do you accept dental insurance?

We welcome patients with PPO plans that allow you to choose your own dentist. Payment is due at the time of service, and we submit the claim to your insurance on your behalf so you are reimbursed according to your plan. Learn more on our Financial Information page.

Do you offer financing for dental treatment?

Yes. We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards, and we offer monthly payment plans through CareCredit and Proceed Finance so you can move forward with the care you need on a budget that works for you.

How often should I see the dentist?

Most patients benefit from a checkup and professional cleaning every six months. Patients with gum disease or a high risk of tooth decay may need more frequent visits.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call our office right away at (352) 365-6442. Our dental emergencies page explains how to handle a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, or severe pain until you can be seen.

What options do you offer to replace missing teeth?

We offer dental implants, bridges, and dentures and partials. The right option depends on your bone health, budget, and goals.

Are dental implants worth it?

For most patients, yes. Implants replace the tooth root, help preserve the jawbone, and can last for decades with proper care. Learn more about treating missing teeth.

Is a root canal painful?

Modern root canal therapy feels much like getting a filling. The procedure relieves the pain caused by an infected tooth rather than causing it.

What can I do if I am nervous about dental visits?

You are not alone. We offer sedation dentistry, including IV sedation, and a gentle, unhurried approach to help patients with dental anxiety feel calm and comfortable.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth are common signs. Early periodontal therapy can stop the disease before it causes tooth loss.

Can a dentist help with snoring?

Yes. A custom oral appliance can gently reposition the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep. Learn more about snoring treatment and sleep apnea.

What cosmetic dental treatments do you offer?

We offer bonding, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, and teeth whitening. Visit our cosmetic procedures page to explore your options.

Do you take X-rays at every visit?

No. We take X-rays only when needed, and our digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film.

When are wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are typically removed when they are impacted, crowded, or causing pain or infection. We perform gentle extractions in our Leesburg office.
