Prevention Costs Less Than Treatment

Studies consistently show that every dollar spent on preventive dental care saves between $8 and $50 in restorative and emergency care costs. A filling is far less expensive than a root canal and crown — and neither is needed when cavities are prevented altogether. Investing in regular checkups is simply smart healthcare.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a dental checkup?

Most patients benefit from visits every six months. Some patients with gum disease, high cavity risk, or other conditions may need to come in every three to four months for closer monitoring.

Does dental insurance cover preventive care?

Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services at 100%, including cleanings, exams, and X-rays. This makes routine visits very affordable — and skipping them means leaving money on the table while putting your health at risk.
