The General Dentistry Process at Sunnyside Dental
Dr. Yapport follows a thorough approach to ensure optimal oral health for every patient
Comprehensive Examination
Your visit begins with a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues. Dr. Yapport checks for signs of decay, gum disease, and other potential issues. Digital X-rays may be taken to detect problems not visible to the naked eye, providing a complete picture of your oral health.
Professional Cleaning
Our dental hygienist performs a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't reach. This includes scaling to remove tartar, polishing to remove stains, and flossing to clean between teeth, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your examination, Dr. Yapport develops a customized treatment plan addressing any issues found and outlining preventative measures. We take time to explain our findings and recommendations, answering any questions you may have about your oral health.
Ongoing Care & Maintenance
We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your oral health and provide preventative care. Most patients benefit from check-ups and cleanings every six months, though some conditions may require more frequent visits. Our goal is to help you maintain optimal oral health for life.
Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry
Find answers to common questions about our general dental procedures in Sunnyside
Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for regular check-ups and professional cleanings. However, Dr. Yapport may recommend more frequent visits if you have specific oral health concerns such as gum disease, a history of cavities, or other ongoing dental issues. Regular dental visits are essential for preventing problems and catching any issues early when they're easier to treat.
A routine dental check-up at Sunnyside Dental typically includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of problems; digital X-rays when necessary to detect issues not visible to the naked eye; professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar; polishing to remove surface stains; and a discussion about your oral health with personalized recommendations. Dr. Yapport will also perform an oral cancer screening and check for signs of other health issues that may appear in the mouth.
Yes, dental X-rays are safe. At Sunnyside Dental, we use digital X-rays which emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. We also use protective equipment like lead aprons to minimize exposure. The amount of radiation from a dental X-ray is extremely small – comparable to the radiation you're exposed to during a short airplane flight. The diagnostic benefits of X-rays far outweigh the minimal risks, as they allow us to detect problems that aren't visible during a visual examination.
We accept all forms of traditional insurance as well as numerous PPO Insurances directly to minimize out of pocket expenses for our patients. Our office staff will gladly file your insurance and inform you of the status of your benefits. If you have specific questions about whether we accept your particular provider, please give us a call at (718) 706-1717, and we'll be happy to check for you.
For optimal oral hygiene at home, brush your teeth twice daily for two minutes using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Floss at least once daily to clean between teeth where your toothbrush can't reach. Consider using an antimicrobial or fluoride mouthwash to reduce bacteria and strengthen enamel. Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months or sooner if bristles are frayed. Maintain a balanced diet low in sugary foods and drinks. Dr. Yapport can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific oral health needs during your visit to our Sunnyside office.
