❋ Why does it matter?

Regular preventive visits help reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease, protect existing dental work, and support long-term oral health.

Most patients benefit from visits every six months, though we’ll recommend a schedule based on your individual needs.

We take time to explain what we’re seeing, answer questions, and talk through options — without rushing or pressure. Our goal is for you to leave each visit feeling informed and confident about your oral health.
