Got Questions? We Have Answers

What insurance do you accept?

All PPO, and most HMO. Please contact the office for more information. 

Do you do orthodontics?

No, but we can refer you to a trusted orthodontist.

My dentist is recommending treatment (I know nothing about). What should I do?

Always feel free to ask questions. A good dentist will take time to explain why a treatment is needed, what it involves, and what alternatives exist. You can also request a written estimate or a second opinion if you’d like extra peace of mind. Understanding your care is part of making an informed, confident decision.

What′s the difference between the bleaching I can do at home with a kit from the store and the bleaching that my dentist does?

Home bleaching

  • Low concentration of hydrogen peroxide
  • Can only bleach weak, new stains
  • 15% max concentration

Office bleaching

  • High concentration with carbamide peroxide
  • Gets rid of tough stains 
  • 41% max concentration
Do I really have to go to the dentist every six months? How often do I need x-rays?

For most people, a check-up every six months is ideal for catching issues early and keeping gums and teeth healthy. However, your dentist may adjust this schedule based on your specific needs. X-rays are typically recommended once a year or as needed to monitor areas that are not visible during a visual exam.

When should I take my child to the dentist for the first time?

The American Dental Association recommends a child’s first visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early visits help children become comfortable with dental care and allow the dentist to guide parents on brushing, diet, and healthy habits.

We understand that dental care can feel like a big investment. At Star Bright Dental, we’re upfront about every cost and explain exactly what each treatment includes, from the quality of materials to the time and precision it takes to do it right.
