FAQs

How often should I be visiting the dentist’s office?

Typically, our recommendation is twice a year, or once per six months. These regular intervals allow our doctors and team members to fully identify any new problems that may have cropped up and remove potentially dangerous plaque and tartar. If you’re currently experiencing periodontal disease or your teeth have shown a natural oversensitivity to tooth decay, we may recommend more frequent visits to help you combat these issues as effectively as possible. 

My gums regularly bleed when I brush my teeth. Should I be worried?

Bleeding is never good news, and when it’s happening within your mouth, it’s likely a sign of periodontal (gum) disease. Let our team know if you experience this tell-tale symptom during your next visit; we can inspect your gum tissue and recommended effective therapy options if needed to treat the infection. 

Can you help me improve the way my smile looks?

Of course! At Collins & Montz Dentistry, we offer a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry services that can erase pesky flaws and give your teeth the bright, refreshed appearance they need to shine, including teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, metal-free restorations, Invisalign, and more.

Do you treat chronic jaw pain?

In cases where jaw pain is caused by a misaligned bite and/or TMJ disorder, our team can offer customized oral splints and other effective treatment options that can provide patients with the long-term relief they need.

Are dental implants the best choice for replacing missing teeth?

Dental implants are widely considered the most effective and long-lasting way to replace missing teeth because of their comprehensive structure. They replicate the natural root of the tooth, which helps patients maintain a higher level of oral and jawbone health over time, and their seamless aesthetic quality and durable function is also ideal.

However, implants do require a significant commitment of time and cost, which may not be ideal for every patient. Here in Melbourne Beach, our doctors will always be fully honest and upfront about the options available to patients struggling with tooth loss and what they entail. Our goal is to help you find the solution that best fits your personal preferences and lifestyle.

Can you send me the new patient forms I’ll have to complete before my appointment?

We’ll do you one better – they’re available for download right here on our website! Just follow the links to open the paperwork and print it in the comfort of your own home for easy completion. If you’re unable to print your forms successfully, we’d be happy to send them traditionally through the mail if you give us a call and let us know.

Will you take my dental insurance?

We do accept most major insurance plans and will electronically file claims on your behalf to make the reimbursement process simple and fast. To learn more about financial options here in Melbourne Beach, FL, please visit our new patients page.
