    Common Questions

    What should I expect during my first comprehensive exam?
    +
    Your first visit includes a detailed health history review, complete oral examination, digital x-rays, oral cancer screening, gum evaluation, and professional cleaning. The dentist will discuss findings and answer all your questions about your oral health.
    Will my insurance cover this service?
    +
    Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services including exams and cleanings at 100% when performed at recommended intervals. Charlottesville Dental can verify your coverage and explain your benefits before your appointment.
    How often do I need a comprehensive exam and cleaning?
    +
    Most patients benefit from exams and cleanings every six months. Your dentist may recommend more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if you have gum disease, high cavity risk, or other specific concerns.
    Is the cleaning painful?
    +
    Most patients experience little to no discomfort during cleaning. You may feel mild sensitivity if you have gum inflammation or significant tartar buildup. The hygienist can adjust technique for your comfort, and numbing options are available if needed.
    What happens if the exam reveals a problem?
    +
    If the exam identifies cavities, gum disease, or other issues, your dentist will explain findings clearly and discuss treatment options. Many problems can be addressed during the same visit, while others may require scheduling a follow-up appointment.
    How long does the appointment take?
    +
    A comprehensive exam and cleaning typically takes 60-90 minutes. New patient visits may require slightly more time to complete health history and establish your dental baseline.
