At N/A, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Danelon frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Danelon often consults with patients whose their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities significantly limits their enjoyment of confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Danelon when they first notice an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques, enabling them to once again enjoy smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness without hesitation.
• Are you struggling with a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food? Dr. Danelon partners with patients to target having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth a much more achievable reality.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to minimize exposure further. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Danelon will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Danelon offer any sedation options?

Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits).

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Danelon for a check-up and cleaning?
