Everything You Need to KnowAbout Your Visit
At Dental Brothers, we want every patient to feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their care. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about our dental services, insurance, payments, and what to expect at your visit.
Your FirstVisit
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your first visit is all about you — your comfort, your health, and your smile. Our friendly dental team will review your medical history, take any necessary x-rays, and perform a comprehensive exam. We’ll also discuss your dental goals and create a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for your needs.
How long does a typical exam, x-ray, and cleaning take?
A standard appointment that includes a full dental exam, x-rays, and professional cleaning usually takes about an hour. For new patients, your initial visit may be slightly longer so we can get to know you and your dental history.
Do you see children?
Yes! We welcome families and children as young as 3 years old. Our team makes dental visits fun and comfortable for kids, helping them build healthy habits early. Parents are always welcome to stay with their child during the visit.
What if I have dental anxiety?
You’re not alone — many patients feel nervous about dental visits. At Dental Brothers, we offer a calm, caring environment and sedation options such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation to ensure your visit is completely stress-free.
Insurance & PaymentOptions
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept a wide variety of PPO dental insurance plans. Our Patient Care and Insurance Specialists are happy to help you verify your coverage, explain your benefits, and file claims on your behalf.
Will you file my insurance for me?
Absolutely. Once we have your insurance details, we’ll handle the paperwork for you. Our goal is to make the process simple and ensure you understand your coverage before treatment begins.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express), cash, and debit cards.
Do you offer payment or financing options?
Yes! We partner with CareCredit and LendingClub to offer flexible financing plans that make dental care more affordable. These plans feature quick approval, no annual fees, and low monthly payments so you can receive the care you need right away.
PreventativeDental Care
Why are regular dental cleanings important?
Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can’t reach. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath — keeping your smile healthy and bright.
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients benefit from visiting every six months for a cleaning and exam. However, if you’re being treated for gum disease or another ongoing condition, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
Why would I need a deep cleaning?
A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is needed when plaque and bacteria have collected below the gumline, causing inflammation and bleeding. Treating this early helps prevent periodontal (gum) disease and protects your teeth from future damage.
What happens if gum disease is left untreated?
Untreated gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss. It can also increase the risk of other health issues, such as heart disease and diabetes. Regular cleanings and early treatment are key to prevention.
Treatment& Services
What makes Dental Brothers different?
Our patients tell us they love the combination of modern technology, compassionate care, and personalized attention they receive at Dental Brothers. We focus on long-term relationships, not one-time visits, and tailor every treatment to your needs and goals.
What if I have a dental emergency?
Call us immediately. We’re available for same-day and after-hours emergency dental care to relieve pain, treat infections, or repair damaged teeth as quickly as possible.
What types of services do you provide?
We offer a full range of dental services, including preventive care, restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, implants), cosmetic dentistry (whitening, veneers), orthodontics (Invisalign®), sedation dentistry, and surgical procedures.
Do you offer sedation dentistry for anxious patients?
Yes. We provide several sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation, to help patients relax during their appointments. Sedation can make even complex treatments feel comfortable and stress-free.
AdditionalInformation
How can I prepare for my appointment?
Please bring your photo ID, insurance card, and a list of any medications you’re currently taking. Arrive a few minutes early to complete any remaining forms — or fill them out online before your visit for added convenience.
How do I schedule or change an appointment?
You can call our office or request an appointment online anytime. We’re happy to help you find a date and time that works best for your schedule.
What should I do between visits to maintain my oral health?
Brush twice a day, floss daily, and use a fluoride mouth rinse. A healthy diet and avoiding tobacco also help maintain your smile between cleanings.
