Dr. Patel was great, as well as the entire team. They managed to get me in last minute despite not having an appointment and helped ease my tooth pain. I’ve been several times in the past and will continue to visit!

Damascus Dental gave me a wonderful experience for my replacement crown. Dr. Patel and his staff worked like a cohesive team and used the latest technology (take three D pictures instead of molds for my tooth) to quickly take care of my tooth. Thumbs up!

They have great customer service! Far better then any other dentist I have been to. Along with that they get everything done at a very professional manor. I haven’t had any pain when they are working on my teeth and the operations go very smoothly when I have gone in. Overall I am very satisfied with them and recommend this dentist to anyone who is looking for a great all around company!

I had a great experience at Dr. Patel's office. The staff were incredible and made me feel very comfortable. I have a huge fear of the dentist and they went out of their way to make me feel better. Dr. Patel was very nice and had great bedside manners. I can't stress how amazing the staff is and I will definitely recommend this office to anyone.

I have avoided dentists for years due to bad experiences years ago. I decided to give Dr. Patel a try and I am so glad I did! The staff (all staff) are pleasant and helpful from assisting with insurance down to ensuring your comfort and understanding of whatever procedure they are doing or going to do. They listen, they care... Glad I didn't wait any longer to get my teeth worked on and our paths crossed. 10 Stars!!!

Why should I choose Damascus Dental of Mount Airy for my dental checkups?

At Damascus Dental of Mount Airy, we are committed to providing exceptional dental care in a warm and welcoming environment. Our skilled team of professionals utilizes the latest technology and techniques to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. We prioritize preventive care, offering comprehensive dental checkups that address all your oral health needs.

Does dental insurance cover dental checkups?

Many dental insurance plans cover preventive care, including dental checkups, as they recognize the importance of maintaining oral health. However, coverage may vary depending on your specific insurance plan. Our knowledgeable staff can help verify your insurance coverage and assist with any financial inquiries.

Will dental checkups be painful?

Dental checkups are typically painless. The cleaning and examination procedures are gentle and non-invasive. If any discomfort arises, our experienced dental team will ensure your comfort throughout the process. We prioritize creating a relaxed and welcoming environment for all our patients.

How long does a dental checkup usually take?

The duration of a dental checkup can vary depending on individual needs. On average, a dental checkup, including a cleaning and examination, may take around 1 to 1.5 hours. However, your dentist will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific situation.

What are the benefits of regular preventive care?

Regular preventive care, including dental checkups, helps maintain good oral health and prevents dental problems from escalating. It allows early detection of issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Preventive care also helps preserve your natural teeth, prevents bad breath, and contributes to overall well-being.

Are digital X-rays safe?

Yes, digital X-rays are safe. They use a significantly lower amount of radiation compared to traditional film X-rays. Additionally, the use of digital technology allows for immediate image results, reducing the need for retakes and minimizing your exposure to radiation.

Is an oral cancer screening necessary during a dental checkup?

Yes, an oral cancer screening is an important part of a dental checkup. It allows early detection of oral cancer, increasing the chances of successful treatment. At Damascus Dental of Mount Airy, we use VELscope technology for a thorough and painless oral cancer screening.

What can I expect during a dental exam?

During a dental exam, your dentist will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. They will examine your teeth, gums, and oral tissues for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. They may also perform an oral cancer screening and take digital X-rays if necessary.

What happens during a dental cleaning?

During a dental cleaning, a dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth using specialized tools. They will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and provide oral hygiene tips for maintaining a healthy smile.

How often should I schedule a dental checkup?

It is generally recommended to schedule a dental checkup every six months. However, the frequency may vary depending on your oral health needs. Your dentist will advise you on the ideal schedule based on your specific condition.
