Frequently Asked Questions

Dental FAQs from Your Otsego, MI Dentist

We know visiting the dentist often comes with questions, especially if you’re new to our office. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from patients. If you don’t see your question here, our team is always happy to help.

What should I expect at my first visit?

Your first visit typically includes a review of your dental and medical history, a thorough exam, and any necessary x-rays. We’ll take time to understand your concerns, answer your questions, and discuss your oral health. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of where things stand and what steps, if any, are recommended moving forward.

Do you see patients of all ages?

Yes. We provide dental care for patients of all ages, including toddlers, elementary age children, teens, adults, and seniors. Whether it’s a child’s first dental visit or routine care for adults, we tailor treatment to each patient’s needs.

How often should I visit the dentist?

Most patients benefit from routine checkups and cleanings every six months. However, some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health. We’ll recommend a schedule that works best for you.

What if I feel nervous about dental visits?

Dental anxiety is common, and we understand that. Our team takes a calm, patient-centered approach and is happy to talk through any concerns you may have. We want you to feel comfortable and informed at every visit. We can often help with measures like nitrous oxide, which will provide gentle relaxation but not leave you drowsy afterwards. 

Do you accept dental insurance?

We work with several dental insurance plans and are happy to help you understand your benefits. If you have questions about coverage or payment options, our front office team can assist you.

What are your office hours?

Our office is open Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, making it easier for working families to schedule appointments.
