We work with patients of all ages here at Dental Town Melrose. We believe that the best type of dental services are preventative services that protect your teeth and gums from decay. While we can help solve problems with restorative services like fillings, root canals, bridges, and implants, the best thing for your teeth is to prevent problems in the first place. During a routine dental visit, our patients receive checkups, x-rays, dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and other key procedures that keep teeth safe from decay. Additionally, an exam can help find any of the early warning signs of dental issues. Trust us, you always want to find out about issues sooner rather than later. Early signs of decay can sometimes be reversed, and a simple filling is better than needing a full root canal or even tooth extraction.
Book AppointmentGeneral dentistry covers a variety of dental procedures that are designed to protect your teeth. From x-rays that help us make sure your children’s teeth are coming in at the right and see if there are any cavities or decay beneath gums or between teeth, to cleanings that remove plaque and tartar that toothbrushes can’t, there is a lot of value in seeing a dentist.
Located in Melrose, our office features a highly-trained team that can help you and your children with their dental services. This includes routine check-ups where our team provides professional cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, and other preventative treatments like dental sealants to protect your teeth. During an exam, our dentist will check for any signs of cavities or other dental issues, and if needed, we will schedule return appointments for any fillings or other dental procedures.
Most dental insurance programs provide coverage for preventative care. This includes the recommended two visits each year to your dentist to get an exam and a cleaning. More complex procedures including fillings, root canals, and extractions will likely have a different level of coverage. Make sure to check with your dental insurance provider to see what is covered and make sure to find a dentist that works with that insurance provider. If you have questions about paying for dental services, please give us a call.
If you have any kids that are a little anxious about the dentist, we can help. We understand that for patients of all ages, there can be nerves before heading to a dental office. Kids especially are often worried about going to a new dentist or going back to the dentist, and that anxiety can skyrocket if they have ever had a negative experience in the past. We work hard as a team to make sure kids are comfortable when they head to the dentist.
Every family should have an emergency dentist in mind to handle any sudden injuries. Children and teens can often experience dental emergencies when playing sports like chipping teeth or even having teeth knocked out. If you need an emergency dentist in Chicago, we have ten locations that can help you. Give us a call at 708 683-8000 and we will help you or your family member get seen right away. For more information on emergency dentistry please visit our page covering emergency services.
It is recommended that a child see a dentist as soon as their first tooth erupts through their gumline or when they are around 6 months old (whatever happens first). This is because a dentist can help check the teeth to make sure they are coming in correctly as well as provide information and instructions on how to clean your teeth.
It is not recommended to skip the dentist. A dental visit has many benefits. Even if you are brushing and flossing every single day and you don't notice any dental issues, nothing replaces a dental visit. Dental teams can clean your teeth more thoroughly and remove plaque that cannot be removed with brushing and flossing. And an exam can ensure that any issue is caught early instead of after it progresses. A dental visit is recommended twice per year. However, if you have skipped an appointment or two, there is no better time than the present to make a quick appointment. Don't wait until a problem arises.
This is a common concern among young adults. If you don't have insurance or your insurance coverage isn't going to cover the dental services you need, you shouldn't skip the dentist. Here at Dental Town, we don't want anyone to miss an appointment because of cost. We provide financing options and payment options. Contact our offices for more information.
Probably not. Many PPO insurances provide coverage each year and there isn't roll over. That means if you are paying for dental insurance and you aren't seeing the dentist twice per year, you are losing money.
Finding the right dentist is extremely important especially as a family. There are many benefits to having your entire family seen by the same dentist. It can be easier to schedule appointments, and that consistency can help your kids understand the importance of dental visits as well. When it comes to picking a dentist you should consider things like insurance and proximity but also focus on finding a dentist that makes you comfortable. Nothing is worse than working with a dentist that makes you or a member of your family feel anxious or uncomfortable. A good dentist is encouraging and provides wonderful care to all of their patients. Consider asking coworkers or family in the area who they see, or checking online reviews. When checking reviews, we recommend looking past just the star rating and also reading reviews. Keep your eyes out for signs of a good dentist. For example, do reviewers mention how the dentist works with their kids?
