We also offer Botox and dermal filler treatments to complement dental work and provide comprehensive facial aesthetic improvements when appropriate.

How often should my family schedule dental checkups and cleanings?

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings and checkups every six months. This schedule allows us to catch problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat, and helps maintain optimal oral health between visits. Some patients with gum disease or other risk factors may need more frequent visits, while others with excellent oral health might do well with annual checkups. Dr. Kupetz will recommend the schedule that makes sense for your individual needs. Regular preventive care is the most cost-effective approach to dental health. Catching issues early prevents small problems from becoming major expenses, and professional cleanings remove buildup that daily brushing can’t eliminate completely.
