FAQs

What Will My First Visit Be Like at Wilhoite Family Dental?

Welcome to our family-friendly practice! We are honored you’ve chosen us as your partner in dental health. Your first appointment is an opportunity for you to meet our team, discuss your oral health history and evaluate your dental needs. We’ll also have you fill out the necessary patient forms so we can enter you into our patient management system.

A typical first visit will include a standard hygiene exam and a thorough cleaning, along with X-rays for a closer look at your teeth and gums. If you require more intensive treatment for any issues we notice, we will work together to develop a treatment plan and schedule a follow-up appointment.

How Often Should I Come to Wilhoite Family Dental for Treatment?

We recommend coming to see us every six months for a general hygiene exam and cleaning. Each year, one of these appointments usually includes X-rays so we can get a closer look at the health of your teeth, gums and bones. 

If your standard cleaning appointment uncovers an area that needs further treatment, like a cavity, gum disease, or cracked or chipped tooth, or if you experience a problem between your standard visits, we will recommend you come in so we can help alleviate it.

While we are a full-service dental practice, we also maintain a strong professional network of specialists to refer our patients to if they require treatment beyond our scope of expertise. If you or a family member require more extensive oral treatment, we will refer you to a trusted specialist for evaluation.

What Happens During My Regular Dental Visits?

A typical visit to our practice includes a hygiene exam, a cleaning from one of our friendly dental hygienists and designated time with the team to discuss any new developments in your oral and overall health or any questions or concerns you may have. Once a year, we will also take X-rays as a standard preventative measure.
