Your Friendly Painless Dentist in Madison Heights, MI

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule my dental cleaning?

Our dentists recommend scheduling regular dental check-ups and professional dental cleanings twice a year or every six months. It’s important to visit the dentist for preventative care in order to avoid potential complications including gum disease, decay, and oral cancer. This will allow your dentist to eliminate any bacteria and plaque that a toothbrush just can’t reach. It’s also the chance to revisit the goals you have for your smile’s long-term health.

Will Dr. Saluja be able to help my anxiety during my appointment?

At Art Dentistry Center, we understand that some patients may be scared about visiting the dentist, especially if it’s for a large procedure like dental implants or a root canal. That’s why our team offers sedation dentistry to maximize your comfort and keep you feeling worry-free during your office visit. We offer a variety of options, which your dentist will discuss with you at your initial consultation, including local anesthesia, laughing gas, and IV.
