We’re here to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come. Call our office today or request an appointment online to reserve your visit—we look forward to caring for your smile!

How Often Should I Schedule Routine Cleanings and Exams?

If your teeth and gums are generally in great shape, you will likely only have to visit our office twice per year for routine cleanings and dental exams. Seeing your dentist regularly is important, even if you take great care of your smile, as professional cleanings reduce your odds of developing tooth decay and gum disease, and dental exams provide our team with an opportunity to diagnose and treat any issues that may have arisen. If you have periodontal disease, we may recommend that you schedule three or four cleanings and exams per year.

How Long Do Cleanings and Exams Take?

A routine dental visit can take anywhere from thirty minutes to one hour, depending on a few different factors. Your very first visit with our team may take a little longer than your following visits, as we want to get to know you and begin creating your custom treatment plan. If you’d like to discuss any additional treatments with our team or we diagnose a dental issue, like a cavity or an infection, this will also extend the length of your visit. Your appointments are your time to communicate with our team, so please feel free to bring up any questions or concerns you may have about your smile.

At Rockingham ProDental, we always aim to make our high-quality care affordable and accessible for our patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you are new to our office or planning your next visit, these are the questions we hear most often, and our team is glad to help with anything else.

Do You Accept Dental Insurance?

We are a fee-for-service practice, so we are not in-network with insurance plans. We file your paperwork as a courtesy and provide any documents your insurance company needs, so you can pursue the reimbursement your plan allows.

What Payment Options Do You Offer?

We accept cash, debit and credit cards, and CareCredit, and we offer in-house payment plans. Patients without insurance can also join our in-house membership plan. Our team is happy to review your options before treatment begins.

What Should I Expect at My First Appointment?

Your first visit is a one-on-one consultation where Dr. Rigby learns about your dental history and goals. Please bring any X-rays taken within the last year and your completed new patient forms, or arrive ten to fifteen minutes early to fill them out.
