In order to maintain a healthy smile, you should visit our Silver Spring dentist for cleanings and checkups at least twice a year. These visits will ensure that plaque and tartar don’t build up in your teeth, helping to prevent decay.
Your checkups also give Dr. Bassford a chance to detect problems such as cavities or oral cancer before they become severe. If you’re prone to dental issues, we may recommend that you come in more often.
At our Silver Spring dental practice, we strive to separate ourselves from the competition. Some unique benefits you can enjoy by choosing us include:
- CEREC technology for single-appointment porcelain crowns with no temporaries
