FAQs

What dental services do you provide at Worcester Periodontics?

What happens during a periodic dental checkup?

A typical dental checkup includes a detailed oral exam, digital X-rays if needed, and a professional cleaning. When you visit, the dentist will check for indications of cavities and other oral health concerns to keep your smile healthy and prevent future issues.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes. We use advanced digital X-ray technology, which emits significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. This method is quick, safe, and allows for high-resolution imaging, giving your dentist an accurate view of your teeth and supporting structures for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

How often should I visit the dentist?

Most patients gain an advantage from visiting the dentist every six months for a cleaning and exam. Regular visits help remove plaque buildup, identify potential problems early, and maintain overall oral health. Your dentist may recommend visiting more often if you have specific dental conditions or ongoing treatment.

What treatment options are available for missing teeth?

Common solutions for missing teeth include dental implants, bridges, and partial or complete dentures. The right option depends on your bone health, gum condition, and personal preference. Our team will evaluate your needs and recommend the most fruitful solution to restore function and aesthetics.

Do you accept dental insurance?

Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans. Our knowledgeable front office team will review your benefits, assist with claim submissions, and help you maximize your coverage. We strive to make quality dental care pocket-friendly and convenient for every patient.
