Frequently Asked Questions About Aesthetic Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry
Are dental cleanings covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans typically cover preventive dental cleanings and examinations twice a year. Our office staff can assist you in verifying your specific benefits and help you maximize your insurance coverage.
Do cleanings hurt?
Dental cleanings should not cause pain. You may experience some pressure or slight sensitivity, particularly if it has been some time since your last cleaning. Our dental hygienists are trained to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
What's the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A standard cleaning focuses on cleaning tooth surfaces above the gum line. In contrast, a deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is necessary when gum disease is present and targets bacteria below the gum line.
How long does a cleaning take?
A typical dental cleaning usually takes between 45 to 60 minutes. If it's your initial visit or if x-rays are required, you may need to allocate a bit more time for your appointment.
Can I combine a cleaning with other treatments?
Yes, it is possible to schedule additional dental services, such as teeth whitening or dental fillings, on the same day as your cleaning for your convenience.
How long do fillings last?
The lifespan of composite fillings generally ranges from 7 to 12 years. This duration can vary based on the size and location of the filling, as well as how well it is maintained.
Are dental fillings painful?
Dental fillings are typically performed under local anesthesia, so you should not experience pain during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity afterwards is normal and usually subsides quickly.
Do fillings require special care?
Fillings do not require specialized care. Maintain your regular oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing, and attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the integrity of your filling. It's advisable to avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens that could potentially damage the restoration.
