What Can I Expect At A Routine Visit?

At WhiteWing Dental, our top priority is keeping our patients comfortable while we provide high-quality oral health care. When you and your family come visit our McAllen dentists, you can expect to follow a routine process, unless you are coming in for a specific service. A routine visit usually consists of the following steps:

Oral exam

A routine checkup will include our dentists performing an oral exam to ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy. These simple routines can help to catch early issues and even help to reverse them if spotted early enough.

Dental X-Rays

We take X-rays at WhiteWing Dental to get a better view of what’s going on inside of your mouth. A visual exam may not always allow us to catch issues with the jawbones. Instead, an X-ray is used to create an in-depth image used for check for bone or gum loss, diseases, cavities, or other abnormalities.

Teeth cleaning

When you visit a dentist who provides quality care, no visit is complete without a teeth cleaning. Your dentists will clean every crevice and hard-to-reach area that you can’t reach with your tooth brush. This process is relatively quick and will help to prevent tooth decay, cavities, and other oral health diseases. And if you have some anxiety about cleaning, our dentists in McAllen are able to offer sedation dentistry to calm your nerves.

WhiteWing Dental Provides a Range of Services to Meet Your Needs

Alongside our preventative services, WhiteWing Dental can also offer restorative and cosmetic services. This means that if we discover a problem during the process of examination and cleaning your teeth, we can offer a number of solutions to fix the affected tooth.

Additional WhiteWing Services

Fillings

If during your routine checkup we discover a cavity, one of the solutions that our dentists can offer is a filling. This dental tool helps to restore the integrity of the tooth and can prevent further damage caused by a cavity.

Crowns

Also known as caps, crowns go over a damaged tooth to prevent further issues from developing. WhiteWing Dental offers crowns made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, which offers patients a natural look. They can also be fitted over discolored teeth to enhance your smile. When taken care of properly, crowns can last for years.

Bridges

A dental bridge, as the name suggest, is made up of multiple crowns used to bridge the gap between missing teeth. They help to enhance a patient’s smile and are supported by the natural teeth.

Extractions

While the goal of our McAllen dentists is always to help you maintain all of your natural teeth, there are issues that may require a tooth be removed. Our dental experts can provide dental extraction using sedation dentistry, when needed, to ensure that our patients are comfortable and pain-free during the process.
