How often should I visit the dentist?

Most patients should see a dentist every six months for a cleaning and exam. Patients with gum disease or ongoing treatment may need a more frequent schedule — your Sterling Smiles Dental team will personalize it.

Are dental implants covered by insurance?

Dental implant coverage varies by plan. Many PPO plans cover part of the cost, and we accept Colorado Medicaid and Nebraska Medicaid. We'll verify your benefits and discuss financing before treatment.

How can I keep my teeth white between dental visits?

Brush twice daily, floss once a day, limit staining foods and drinks like coffee and tea, and visit us for regular cleanings. Professional teeth whitening at our Sterling office can refresh your results anytime.

What are signs I should see a dentist right away?

See a dentist promptly for a severe toothache, broken or knocked-out teeth, swelling, bleeding gums, or persistent bad breath. Call 970-526-6544 — we reserve time for dental emergencies.
