Common questions about family dentistry
What is included in a family dental visit?
A typical visit includes a full oral exam, digital x-rays as needed, a professional cleaning, and a review of anything we see. We take the time to explain what we find and answer any questions before you leave.
Do you see children at Kitto Family Dental?
Yes. We see patients of all ages, from a child’s first visit around age one through adults. Kids in Santa Maria do best when dental visits start early and stay consistent.
How often should I come in for a cleaning?
Most patients do well with two visits per year. Some need three or four, and a stable few can space visits out further. We build a schedule that fits your teeth and history.
What if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?
That is common and there is no judgment. We start with a thorough exam, take needed x-rays, and build a plan you can say yes to. Most patients feel better after the first visit than they expected.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most PPO dental insurance plans. When you call to schedule, share your plan and we will do our best to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket cost before your visit.
