Frequently Asked Dentistry Questions

In addition to taking excellent care of your teeth, our team is also willing to answer any questions you might have about dentistry. In our experience, the more a patient knows about dentistry and oral health in general, the healthier they are! This is why we have listed answers to some of the most common questions we receive below. Give us a call if you would like to know anything else — we are always eager to connect with our valued patients.

Do You Take My Insurance?

We are in-network with several major insurance plans. Even if we are not in your plan’s network, we may still be able to help you maximize your benefits.

How Can I Improve the Way My Teeth Look?

Oral hygiene and over the counter products can only do so much to change the way teeth look. At New Haven Dental Group, we offer a number of transformative, professional treatments that can dramatically enhance your smile. Porcelain veneers, gum recontouring, and more are available.

What Is the Best Way to Replace Lost Teeth?

Fixed bridges and traditional dentures are effective. However, we usually recommend that patients opt for dental implants because they are extremely sturdy and have the potential to last a lifetime.

I’m Nervous about Visiting the Dentist. How Can You Help?

Let us know about your concerns, and we will take measures to help you relax. Sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral medications, are available.

My Teeth Are Healthy. Do I Really Need to Attend Regular Checkups?

Yes! Even people with healthy teeth and gums should visit their dentist twice a year. We may be able to spot any developing issues before they endanger your oral health and cause you pain.

Do You Accept Emergency Patients?

When you face a dental emergency, contact us right away. We will make efforts to see you as soon as possible, probably even on the same day you call.
