Providing the Answers You Need
Our Corcoran Privitera Family Dental team loves being able to teach our Waverly dental patients about caring for their smiles, so we welcome any and all questions about oral health. We’ve received countless questions over the years, but some we get more often than others. For your convenience, we’ve answered some of the most common dental inquiries below. Call us if you don’t see your question answered on this page!
Is it possible to straighten my teeth without braces?
At our dental practice, we’re proud to offer SureSmile clear aligners so that teenagers and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues can enjoy straight teeth without braces. With these see-through plastic trays, your treatment will barely be noticeable, and you’ll be able to eat your favorite foods and clean your teeth without metal brackets getting in the way.
How often should I visit the dentist?
You should have your teeth professionally examined and cleaned twice a year, although our dentists may recommend more frequent visits if you have gum disease or a history of other oral health concerns. Regular dental visits are crucial in keeping your mouth healthy and free from cavities, infections, and more.
Can I bring my children to your dental office?
As our practice’s name suggests, we’re happy to see patients of all ages! Dr. Corcoran and Dr. Privitera are new parents themselves, and they love having the opportunity to help young smiles grow up in healthy ways. We offer multiple children’s dentistry services, including silver diamine fluoride to conservatively treat early-stage cavities without fillings.
Will you accept my dental insurance?
If you have dental insurance, there’s a good chance you can use it to save at our practice! We’re in-network with the majority of PPO dental plans, and we’ll even handle all of the paperwork involved in filing your claims and making sure you access every dollar of dental savings that you deserve.
How can I get a better smile?
Whether your teeth are discolored, chipped, misshapen, or something else, our dentists can provide a wide range of cosmetic dentistry options for giving you the confident, attractive grin you deserve. Not only that, but we also offer BOTOX injections for restoring a bright, youthful appearance to the area of your face around your smile!
What’s the best way to replace my missing teeth?
No tooth replacement is perfect for every patient, but dental implants are by far the closest thing to turning back time on your smile. By replacing the entire structure of the missing teeth, they’re much more lifelike, long-lasting, and sturdier than dentures and bridges alone ever could be. Plus, our team can handle the dental implant process completely in-house for your convenience.
