Nov
We know November just started, but with the holiday season coming up, your schedule is about to become a lot more hectic. This is why we encourage our Albuquerque, NM, patients to schedule a visit for a checkup and treatment, using their dental benefits before they expire at the end of December. With personalized treatment and a comprehensive approach to dentistry, we can help you enjoy a better smile!
To start, give our office a call and schedule a visit for a checkup. As part of this visit, we will employ advanced technology to carefully examine your teeth, gums, and oral structures for possible signs of trouble. For example, we may look for indicators of tooth decay and infection, gingivitis and gum disease, TMJ disorder and bruxism, or even oral cancer. Our team will also perform a dental cleaning, in which we employ an ultrasonic scaling device and a manual tool to remove plaque from the surface of the tooth. The procedure is essential for limiting the risk of everything from cavities to gum disease, while also offering fresher breath and brighter smiles. On average, we recommend a visit every six months for our patients, possibly every three to four for those with periodontal disease.
When we examine your smile, we can gain a detailed picture of your oral health, using the information gathered to create a personalized treatment plan. The plan will address your smile goals and also help and manage oral health issues that could lead to lost teeth and other serious complications. We can offer restorative treatments, like fillings and crowns, to repair teeth. We can address tooth loss with implant dentistry, replacing one or several missing teeth. If you want a more attractive smile, we also have a host of professional cosmetic treatment options, such as teeth whitening, dental bonding, or even lifelike porcelain veneers. We can begin treatment now to use your 2019 benefits and resume once your 2020 ones become available.
During your visit, we will also discuss what you can be doing at home to better care for your smile, such as proper brushing and flossing, which helps remove food particles and reduce the severity of plaque buildup in between cleaning visits. If you have any questions about using your dental insurance or flex spending accounts, then please contact our team today to learn more.
We’re ready to see you and start you on the road to a brighter and healthier smile. For more information on dental insurance and financing, then schedule a consultation with us by calling Snow Park Dental in Albuquerque, NM, today at (505) 596-4479.
