Choosing a dental home often comes with a few questions. Here you’ll find helpful answers about visits, services, insurance, and what to expect at Gavric Dental Associates. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, our team is always happy to help.

What dental insurance plans do you accept?
!
"

We work with many major dental insurance providers: Delta Dental Premier, United Healthcare, Humana, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, United Concordia, Aetna, Ameritas, Sun Life Financial, Assurant, Anthem, MetLife, Guardian, and The Standard. Our team verifies your benefits before your appointment and helps you understand your coverage.

How often should I visit the dentist for a cleaning and exam?
!
"
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning and exam every 6 months. Regular visits help remove plaque buildup, monitor gum health, and catch small concerns early before they become larger dental problems.
What happens during a first dental visit?
!
"
Your first visit typically begins with digital x-rays, gum measurements, and intraoral photos. If your oral health allows, your appointment may include a professional cleaning. Your Atlanta dentist will then perform a comprehensive exam, review findings, and discuss any recommended treatment.
Do you offer options for anxious patients?
!
"
Yes. We focus on comfort-forward care and take time to explain each step of your visit. We also offer nitrous oxide and The Wand anesthetic system, which provides a more controlled and gentle numbing experience.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
!
"
If you experience sudden tooth pain, a broken tooth, or another dental emergency, contact our office as soon as possible. Our team will work to see you promptly and provide the care needed to relieve discomfort and restore your smile.
Do you provide cosmetic dentistry?
!
"
Yes. Cosmetic treatments offered at our practice include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and Botox. These treatments can improve the appearance of your smile while maintaining natural balance and comfort.
Do you place dental implants?
!
"

Implants are placed by a specialist, but we restore them. Once your implant is placed, we create a custom crown designed to blend naturally with your smile and restore full function.

How long does a dental appointment usually take?
!
"
Routine visits such as cleanings and exams typically take about one hour. New patient appointments may take a little longer to allow time for diagnostics, a comprehensive exam, and discussion of your oral health.
What payment options do you offer?
!
"
We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards. Financing options are available through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Proceed Finance. Our team will also review your insurance benefits and help you understand your payment options before treatment.
Do you treat children and families?
!
"

Yes. We provide family dentistry for patients of all ages. Our team works to create positive dental experiences for children while helping families maintain healthy smiles together.

What technology do you use in your office?
!
"

Our practice uses digital x-rays, intraoral photos, digital impressions, and online patient forms. These tools help us diagnose more clearly and make your care more efficient and comfortable.

What are veneers and who are they for?
!
"

Veneers are thin porcelain shells placed over the front of teeth to improve their shape, color, and alignment. They are often used to correct discoloration, chips, or uneven teeth while creating a natural-looking smile.

Is teeth whitening safe?
!
"
Yes. Professional teeth whitening performed under dental supervision is safe and effective. We also offer new patients a complimentary whitening kit to help brighten their smiles after their first visit.
What is TMJ treatment?
!
"

TMJ treatment focuses on relieving jaw pain, tension, headaches, and discomfort caused by issues with the jaw joint. Treatment options may include bite adjustments, mouthguards, or Botox to relax overactive muscles.

How can I reduce anxiety about visiting the dentist?
!
"

Let our team know if you feel nervous about your visit. We’ll move at your pace, explain each step clearly, and offer comfort options such as nitrous oxide to help you relax during treatment.
