Introducing Our Essential Care Package

The specific exam included in the package focuses on addressing your immediate concerns or a particular issue you may have. In contrast, a complete oral exam is a thorough evaluation where the dentist examines each tooth individually, assesses your gum health through periodontal charting, performs an oral cancer screening, and reviews a full set of x-rays. The complete exam provides a comprehensive understanding of your overall oral health.

A recall exam is designed for existing patients to monitor changes in their oral health since their last visit. It includes periodontal charting and updates to your dental records. While less extensive than a complete exam, it is more comprehensive than a specific exam and helps in early detection of any new issues.

Periodontal charting is a detailed measurement of the space between your teeth and gums, known as periodontal pockets. It helps assess the health of your gums and detect signs of gum disease. Regular perio charting is crucial for identifying issues early and preventing the progression of periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

The amount you pay out of pocket depends on your insurance coverage and co-pay percentage. For example, if your insurance covers 80% of treatment costs, you would pay the remaining 20%. For our $139 Essential Care Package, you would pay approximately $27.80 out of pocket. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific details.

Our hygienist will assess your teeth at the beginning of your appointment. If you have significant plaque buildup due to not having regular cleanings at least twice a year, they may recommend additional scaling units. They will inform you of any extra costs before proceeding.

While fluoride treatment is optional, it is highly recommended as it strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatments, especially for children and adolescents. We can check your coverage and let you know if there would be any out-of-pocket cost.

For most patients, the Essential Care Package provides comprehensive care for regular check-ups and cleanings. However, if you haven't visited a dentist in a while or have specific concerns, we recommend considering the complete oral exam for a thorough evaluation.

It's recommended to have a recall exam every 6, 9, or 12 months, depending on your individual oral health needs. This helps monitor your gum health and catch any issues early.
