Can I receive sedation for my dental appointment in Clute?
Yes – our dentists at Woodshore Family Dentistry can provide nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation (pill), or IV sedation (through the vein). Whether you’re looking for relief for dental anxiety or physical discomfort, these solutions can help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during your treatment.
Each sedation option is more or less effective depending on the severity of your discomfort, so let us know if you think you would benefit from dental sedation. We’ll gladly discuss the details with you and make a best-fit recommendation!
How often should I visit the dentist?
We encourage you to visit our office at least every six months for a checkup and cleaning. Studies show that regular preventative care significantly decreases your risk of developing harmful oral conditions in two ways: by allowing us to monitor your smile and eliminate plaque that can’t be eliminated with a toothbrush. Of course, if you’d like to check in on your oral health more frequently than twice a year, we’d be happy to see you!
How much does a check-up & cleaning cost?
The average cost of a checkup and cleaning in the US is between $200 and $350, though if you have dental insurance or are a part of our membership program, you could pay as little as $0! Many dental insurance policies cover 100% of the costs of two preventative care appointments per year, and our membership program provides a similar offer.
If you’re worried about affording dental care, please give us a call and let us know. We want to do our best to work with both our patients and their budgets!
What advanced dental technology do you have in Clute?
We’re proud to have an office stocked with intraoral cameras, digital X-rays, a CBCT scanner, a digit impression system, soft tissue lasers, and an iTero cavity detection system. These advanced dental tools allow us to provide more accurate diagnostics, as well as more comfortable and less invasive care. You can learn more about how our technology improves the quality of our treatments by navigating to the “Dental Technology” page on our website, under the “About Us” tab.
How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist near me?
We accept same-day and after-hours emergency appointments – we want to make getting in touch with our office in Clute as easy as possible for patients experiencing a dental emergency! Please call Woodshore Family Dentistry directly if you need urgent dental care. We closely monitor our phones, and this is the quickest way to get in touch.
Also, if you’re experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 immediately! Our dentists are excellent at what they do, but our office isn’t equipped to handle a critical situation, and we don’t have access to ambulances.
