Certainly! We can send bills for our dental services directly to your health insurance company. This means you do not have to put in a separate claim with your insurance company.
Yes. Our office is open during regular hours. However, to accommodate your busy schedule, we are also available evenings and weekends by appointment.
Indeed. Children are welcome. Our dentists promote children’s dental health while offering educational resources for parents to ensure they know how to care for their children’s teeth and gums.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth which are the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth. At AIM DENTAL CENTRE, we do offer this dental service.
From chipping a tooth to severe tooth aces, we understand that dental emergencies arise from time to time. To ensure our client’s dental needs are met and they are pain-free and well taken care of, we provide emergency dental services.
This is a question we get asked far too often. The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes. However, it would be best if you refrained from brushing more than three times a day because brushing too often will wear down the enamel of your teeth.
The American Dental Association recommends that you visit your dentist anywhere from once every six months to at least once a year to get a routine examination and cleaning. If you have a history of periodontal disease, you should get your teeth cleaned more often to prevent the recurrence of infections or disease.
Though good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, helps prevent cavities, you may still get cavities. Reasons for this can be the spaces between teeth that easily trap food, consuming too many cavity-causing foods and beverages, avoiding regular professional-level cleanings and checkups, etc.
