Dentist in Oakwood, Georgia

The American Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist for a professional cleaning and exam every six months. Regular visits allow Dr. Mittal and the hygiene team to catch small problems before they become larger, more expensive issues. Some patients with gum disease or higher risk factors may benefit from more frequent visits, which the team discusses on a case-by-case basis.

A first visit at our Oakwood office includes a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and a professional cleaning. Dr. Mittal reviews the results, discusses any findings, and answers questions. The team also collects insurance information and medical history beforehand so the appointment runs smoothly. Most first visits take about 60 to 90 minutes.

Yes. Oakwood Dental and Implants accepts most PPO dental insurance plans. The front desk team verifies benefits before the appointment so patients understand their coverage. For patients without insurance, a $59 limited exam special covers a focused exam and 1 X-ray. Financing through CareCredit and Sunbit is also available for larger treatments.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish a dental home, allow the dentist to check for developmental concerns, and get children comfortable with the dental environment before any treatment is needed.

There is no judgment at our practice. Many patients return to the dentist after years away, and Dr. Mittal and the team make those visits as comfortable as possible. A comprehensive exam identifies any issues that may have developed, and the team creates a prioritized treatment plan that addresses the most important concerns first without overwhelming the patient.
