Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything patients most often ask us — answered.

How often should I visit the dentist?

This differs from person to person based on their needs, but for most people we recommend at least two checkup and cleaning appointments each year. Regular visits help us address minor issues early and prevent cavities.

Can I bring my child to Salvaggio Dentistry?

Yes. We treat patients of all ages and provide age-appropriate care for toddlers through teenagers, so children have comfortable, positive dental visits.

What is my best option to replace missing teeth?

Dental implants are typically our first recommendation — they restore an entire tooth both above and below the gum line, creating the most stable, natural-looking result possible, and can last a lifetime.

I’m in a lot of dental pain. What should I do?

Take over-the-counter pain medication, apply a cold compress to your face, and contact our office immediately. We can offer guidance over the phone and schedule a same-day emergency appointment.

What is the best way to improve how my smile looks?

Porcelain veneers can address stains, chips, cracks, and gaps all at once. We also offer a range of additional cosmetic treatments to enhance the appearance of your smile.

Will you accept my insurance?

Salvaggio Dentistry accepts most dental insurance and bills your provider directly. Contact us and we’ll help you understand how your specific plan can help you save.
