Frequently Asked Questions
Biting Into Your Questions
Insurance & Payment
Do you accept insurance like mine?
We do accept most major dental insurance plans, including Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, and many others. Please see /insurance or call (512) 858-6987 to confirm.
What if I’m paying for dental care out of pocket?
You’re not alone. Our Gloss Dental Membership begins at $25/month and includes cleanings, exams, routine X-rays, and discounts on care.
Can I pay gradually over time?
Yes! Eligible patients can use financing options offered through CareCredit to make treatment costs easier to handle.
Checkups & Treatments
How often should I maintain dentist appointments?
Six-month dental checkups are often recommended. Early detection of oral health problems can reduce costs, while visit frequency is customized for you.
What is the correct brushing frequency for my teeth?
The ADA suggests brushing your teeth two or more times daily. To reduce enamel wear, avoid brushing immediately after acidic foods or drinks.
Understanding the Difference: Electric vs. Manual Toothbrushes
Either toothbrush can work with proper technique, but research indicates electric brushes typically offer better plaque reduction. Sonicare and Oral-B add features that enhance brushing quality.
When should my child be introduced to the dentist?
We recommend scheduling a child’s first dental visit by age 3, or as soon as they can sit for an exam. Early visits help track development and build good habits early.
How can bad breath be properly handled?
Bad breath often results from plaque buildup, bacterial activity, or gum disease. Professional cleanings, tongue brushing, daily flossing and rinsing, and avoiding spicy foods may help. Lingering odor requires further care.
What is the function of a night guard?
A night guard is a custom, transparent dental appliance worn at night to protect teeth from grinding and help reduce jaw strain.
What treatments exist to address missing teeth?
Our team offers both fixed tooth replacements such as implants and bridges and removable choices like partials and dentures. Fixed options provide the most natural experience, and we’ll help guide your decision.
How do dental implants function long term?
Dental implants are placed in two parts. A titanium post is surgically anchored into the jawbone, then restored with a crown, bridge, or denture. This provides a strong, natural-feeling tooth replacement.
What are typical symptoms of gum disease?
Gum disease symptoms often include bleeding gums, lingering bad breath, and teeth that feel sensitive or unstable. Consistent dental visits aid early detection.
Are X-rays at the dentist safe to have done?
Yes. Dental digital X-rays today use minimal radiation—well below what you get from the sun—and we prioritize safety by following strict protocols with modern equipment.
