Check-Ups

Regular dental check-ups are a must for maintaining good oral health. Dental check-ups are non-invasive and are not painful, so there is no reason to avoid them. Here are some important facts about dental check-ups:

Dental Check-Ups – What to Expect

• Your first dental check-up involves a discussion about your medical and dental history so that the doctor is fully informed.
• The next step is typically dental x-rays, which reveal any dental problems that are not easily visible. The doctor will also perform a hands-on examination to evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums.
• Following the examination, the dentist will go over the results with you and decide next steps if any are needed. If there are multiple dental procedures needed, a treatment plan will be created for you.  A professional dental cleaning may also be recommended to remove plaque and tartar build-up.
• The last phase of the check-up involves a series of recommendations to improve your oral health. Instructions about proper brushing and flossing are common, especially when the existing routine is not satisfying.
• During the subsequent check-ups, the dentist may not go through all the steps mentioned above, since they already have a medical record of your health conditions. Instead, they will check the problem areas to record their progress. Also, they will provide you feedback on the way you implemented their recommendations and suggest further improvements or changes in the daily dental care routine.

How often should you go to the dentist?

Dental check-ups are best done every six months. Six months is the average time span between two check-ups, but depending on your dental health we may increase or decrease the number of annual check-ups. For example, if your teeth and gums are in good condition, and there is no significant plaque build-up in-between visits the dentist may agree to one annual check-up.

I’m a new patient at Smile Design. I must say, Dr. Enacopol runs a 5 star practice. Before the visit they verified my insurance benefits so would not get charged for X-rays  that were recently done at at another dental office. And I’m so glad they did, because the previous office failed to do so and I got stuck with a bill. The office space is modern and clean. Staff is very polite and professional. Office hours work with my busy schedule. I’ll be sure to keep my biannual check ups from now on!

This was my 1st visit at Smile Design. I was overdue for a checkup and the staff was more than accommodating to get me in asap. Dr. Enacopol and his staff are very professional and friendly. Exactly what I needed in a dentist. They addressed all of my needs from check up, cleaning, to whitening. They have afternoon and evening appts which is big plus.   I’m so glad to finally find a dentist that I like and accepts my insurance. I highly recommend them!

I have been going to Dr. Enacopol for about 15 or so years for my regular cleans. His offices are clean, modern, and his staff is just so great!

Recently, I had an unbearable toothache where I left a message afterhours and he personally got back with me within minutes and got me in the next morning for an emergency exam. Not only that, but he also referred me to an oral surgeon who saw me the same day. I have always been impressed with his business and practice; but this was over the top service! Thank you again Dr. Enacopol and staff!  You have a customer for life!
