Our friendly team is always happy to help and can provide the information you need by phone, email, or during your next visit to our office, so do not hesitate to reach out with any concerns or questions about your dental care.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit is a complete and caring introduction to your oral health. We will review your medical and dental history, take digital X-rays if needed, and perform a full examination including an oral cancer screening and a gentle professional cleaning. This helps us understand your needs and design a personalized care plan for you.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, we are always excited to welcome new smiles to Warm Smile Dental. You can schedule your first appointment by calling us at (919) 322-8421 or by using our easy online appointment form—whichever is more convenient for you!
Do you accept my dental insurance? What are my payment options?
We work with many major dental insurance providers and are happy to help you understand and use your benefits. Call us with your insurance information and we will verify your coverage. For out-of-pocket expenses, we accept cash and credit cards and offer flexible payment options including CareCredit and in-house plans.
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients benefit from a check-up and professional cleaning every six months to maintain good oral health and catch any issues early. Based on your individual needs, we may recommend a different schedule.
How do you handle dental emergencies?
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please call us right away at (919) 322-8421. We understand that emergencies can be stressful, and we do our best to offer same-day care to relieve pain and restore comfort.
What are dental implants, and are they a good option for missing teeth?
Dental implants are a secure and natural-looking way to replace missing teeth. A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone to act as a tooth root, and a crown is attached to complete the restoration. Implants are strong, comfortable, and a long-term solution that looks just like a natural tooth.
What are my options for fixing a chipped or broken tooth?
We offer several solutions depending on the level of damage. These may include tooth-colored bonding, porcelain veneers, or a dental crown. After examining your tooth, we will recommend the best option to restore strength and appearance.
How can I whiten my teeth, and what is the difference between in-office and at-home options?
We offer both in-office whitening and custom take-home whitening trays. In-office whitening provides quick and noticeable results in one visit. At-home trays are convenient and allow you to whiten gradually on your own schedule. We will help you choose the method that fits your goals and lifestyle.
What are porcelain veneers, and what can they fix?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front of teeth to enhance your smile. They can correct discoloration, chips, small gaps, mild misalignment, and uneven shapes to create a natural and beautiful result.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Cosmetic treatments that are primarily for appearance are usually not covered by insurance. However, if a procedure also improves the function or health of a tooth, such as a crown for a damaged tooth, some coverage may apply. We will provide a clear cost estimate and help you explore your options.
