At Brighter Image Dental, we are deeply committed to oral health and emphasize the importance of preventive care. For first-time patients, we require a consultation visit. During this visit, Dr. Steven A. Chapple, DDS will conduct a comprehensive examination and review your dental and medical histories. Routine appointments typically involve a checkup and professional cleaning. We recommend that you have your teeth professionally cleaned and examined once or twice a year. These appointments help us prevent common issues such as cavities and gum disease. If we identify any issues such as decay, damage, or gum disease, we may recommend additional treatment. After developing a treatment plan, our front office team will provide a detailed list of fees and an estimate of out-of-pocket expenses based on your insurance coverage. While we encourage all our patients to maintain this regular care, we understand that concerns about time may arise. Rest assured, when you visit us, we will perform your teeth cleaning and examination efficiently and comfortably.
