We’re always happy to talk to you and make sure you know about all of your dental care options.

How often should I visit the dentist?

Dr. Skupny agrees with the American Dental Association’s recommendation on this one: the average healthy person should visit their dentist for at least two checkups and cleanings each year, or one every six months. Some may require more depending on their particular needs, but for most, two is all that is needed to prevent problems like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease from developing.

I don’t like how my smile looks…can you help?

Yes! We have a variety of cosmetic services that are specifically designed to beautify the smile and make small flaws like stains, chips, cracks, and gaps disappear.
