General Dentistry: Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I see the dentist for a cleaning and exam?
The American Dental Association recommends a professional cleaning and exam every six months for most patients. If you have a history of gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, smoke, or have certain medical conditions like diabetes, we may recommend visits every 3–4 months to better protect your gum and bone health.
What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar above the gumline and is preventive in nature. A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, treats active gum disease by carefully removing bacteria and calculus from below the gumline and smoothing the root surfaces so the gums can reattach to the tooth. Deep cleanings are typically performed with local anesthesia for comfort.
Do you accept dental insurance and new patients?
Yes. We are accepting new patients of all ages and accept most major PPO insurance plans. Our front desk verifies your benefits before your visit and provides a clear, written estimate of any out-of-pocket costs. We also offer financing through Cherry, Alphaeon Credit, CareCredit and Sunbit, subject to approval.
Are tooth-colored fillings as durable as silver fillings?
Yes. Modern composite (tooth-colored) fillings bond directly to your tooth and, on small to medium cavities, perform comparably to traditional amalgam fillings while looking completely natural. They typically last 10+ years with good oral hygiene and can be repaired or refreshed without removing the entire restoration.
How long does a porcelain or zirconia crown last?
With routine brushing, flossing, and 6-month checkups, a high-quality porcelain or zirconia crown placed at Texas Dental Center typically lasts 15+ years. Avoiding habits like ice chewing or using teeth as tools helps maximize the lifespan of your restoration.
Does professional teeth whitening damage enamel?
No. Professional in-office whitening uses dentist-supervised hydrogen peroxide gels that have been studied extensively and do not weaken or thin enamel when used correctly. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity for 24–48 hours, which we manage with desensitizing agents.
