We encourage patients to schedule a checkup and cleaning at least twice a year, no matter their age. However, some patients may require more frequent visits based on their particular oral health needs. These appointments give our team the chance to remove cavity-causing plaque and tartar from the teeth as well as detect and treat potential problems early on.
Absolutely! Often, cavities and other oral health problems aren’t very noticeable until they’ve caused serious damage to your smile. So, even if your teeth and gums aren’t bothering you at the moment, trouble might still be brewing beneath the surface. Regular checkups let us catch these issues before they cause irreversible harm.
Dentistry on the Ponds is proud to be a family dental office, so of course we welcome children! Our team members are always patient and gentle with kids.

No tooth replacement is universally ideal for every patient, but we tend to recommend dental implants more often than the others. This treatment reconstructs the teeth from the roots up, resulting in more reliable, longer-lasting, and natural-feeling prosthetic teeth than you would get with dentures or bridges. We can even handle the entire process in-house for greater convenience and personalization.
