General Dentistry
For most patients, we recommend visiting their Frisco dentist every six months for a checkup and professional cleaning. These routine visits are one of the best ways to keep your smile healthy and catch small concerns before they turn into larger, more costly problems.
At Preston Ridge Dental, we take a functional and holistic approach to care, so preventive visits are an important part of preserving your natural tooth structure and supporting your overall wellness.
When Do We Recommend More Frequent Dental Visits?
That said, every smile is unique, and some patients benefit from more frequent visits. Dr. Ramsay may recommend seeing us more often if you:
- Have gum disease or a history of periodontal concerns that need closer attention.
- Are prone to cavities, tooth sensitivity, or dry mouth.
- Smoke or use other tobacco products, which can affect gum health.
- Have diabetes, heart disease, or other health conditions linked to oral health.
- Are pregnant, since hormonal changes can make your gums more sensitive.
- Have dental implants, crowns, or other restorations that need monitoring.
What to Expect During Your Routine Dental Visit
During each visit, our team will gently clean your teeth, check your gums, and evaluate your bite and jaw function. Dr. Ramsay will also screen for early signs of decay, oral cancer, and other issues, which allows her to recommend conservative, minimally invasive treatments whenever possible. If it's been a while since your last checkup or you're due for a visit, we'd love to welcome you to our practice.
