Prevention Is The Key To Great Oral Health For Bonita Springs and Surrounding Area Residents

At Bonita Bay Dental, our patients are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we want to make visiting the practice as easy as possible, and why we’re constantly developing our knowledge and services to ensure our patients have access to the latest and most effective dentistry.

If You're Ready For Your First Appointment, What to Expect?

We know that most people have fear and anxiety about going to the dentist for any type of treatment. Sometimes, this stems from past bad experiences or even stories we’ve heard from family and friends.

Dentistry has progressed over the years to where it is virtually painless. New technology and advanced dentistry help us provide you with the most comfortable experience possible. Our goal is to prevent and rid our clients of dental pain and anxiety.

When you come into our office, you can expect to receive an executive examination that lasts on average about an hour. Here are some of the things we will do:

Conduct a visual exam
Digital x-rays
Perform an oral cancer screening
Check for gum disease

Check for signs of cavities or decay
Evaluate and look over your existing dental work
Take photos
Look for other harmful dental issues

Consultation With the Doctor

At your check-up, your dentist may:

arry out a full examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums
ask about your general health and any problems you have had with your teeth, mouth or gums since your last visit
ask about and give advice on your diet, smoking, and drinking
ask about your teeth-cleaning habits and give you advice on the most appropriate ways to keep your mouth, teeth, and gums healthy
explain any risks, as well as dental costs, of all treatment you may need

Many of us have got used to going to the dentist every six months but you might need to go more often or less often than this depending on how healthy your mouth and teeth are. Your dentist should talk to you about when you should have your next appointment.

If you have problems with your teeth between check-ups, contact Bonita Bay Dental to make an earlier appointment.
