Dental FAQs

It’s natural to have questions about going to the dentist. Whether you’ve just moved to and need an affordable dentist in Dallas or need to see a cosmetic dentist, we are happy to answer your questions and discuss your concerns. Below are some frequently asked questions patients have about dentistry and our practice. Please browse below to find an answer to your question, or contact our office!

How do I know when I should come in for a check-up?

We recommend that you visit our Dallas office twice a year (or once every six months) if your oral health is in good standing. However, Dr. Willison and our team may strongly suggest more frequent appointments depending on the current state of your smile and if you’re suffering from periodontal disease. In some cases, 3-4 appointments a year could be needed to maintain gum health. We’ll be sure to discuss this with you following your first visit so that our team can create a care plan that fits your needs.

My gums bleed when I brush. What does this mean?

This is a common sign of periodontal disease, a potentially serious condition that could lead to oral damage if left untreated for too long. It could also be an indication of leaky fillings. No matter what the cause is, you should definitely pay our office a visit if you’re experiencing bleeding gums. Please contact our affordable dentist in Dallas as soon as possible to schedule an appointment.

How can I whiten my teeth in a safe way?

We offer several cosmetic options that can give you brighter teeth safety and effectively. These include in-office whitening, take-home whitening kits, and porcelain veneers. All of these treatment options offer valuable benefits to patients; we’ll be happy to discuss them with you in more detail at our Dallas dental office if you’re interested in pursuing a more beautiful smile.

Are you in network with my dental insurance?

We operate as a fee-for-service establishment and are pleased to offer the convenience of filing your PPO insurance on your behalf. It’s important to note, though, that we are not affiliated with any insurance networks, meaning any outstanding balance will ultimately be your responsibility.
