Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for my first appointment?
You’ll want to arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment to fill out the necessary paperwork. You should also bring a form of identification, your dental insurance card, and a credit card for payment.
If you have any questions for Dr. Kovacevic, it might be helpful to write them down so you don’t forget. The rest is up to us, so rest assured you’re in good hands and we’ll provide a careful and thorough treatment.
How can you fix a chipped or broken tooth?
If you chip or break your tooth, try to protect the broken fragment by storing it in a safe place and contact our office by calling (724) 836-2433. You may also want to apply a cold compress or take ibuprofen to relieve any pain or discomfort.
During the appointment, Dr. Kovacevic will examine your oral health and provide you with a customized treatment plan, which may include procedures such as dental filling or bonding, porcelain veneers, and dental crown placement.
He’ll give you all the necessary information to make an informed decision on what’s best for you. It’s important to avoid trying to fix the chipped tooth on your own to avoid further damaging your tooth.
Does CareCredit hurt your credit?
When you apply for any credit card, you can expect to see a small dip in your credit score, but it should drop off within a year. If you keep all of your accounts in good standing and pay your CareCredit bill on time, you’ll actually see a bump in your credit.
Learn more about CareCredit, or you can sign up online or by calling (866) 893-7864. Best of all, you don’t have to wait for your CareCredit card to arrive in the mail — you can start using it right away.
What should I do if my gums are bleeding?
Gums that bleed may be painful, but it’s important to continue with a regular oral hygiene routine by brushing twice a day and flossing every day. If you’re experiencing bleeding gums, you’ll want to contact our office right away by calling (724) 836-2433 to schedule an appointment.
Bleeding gums are typically a symptom of gingivitis or periodontal disease, a more advanced form of gum disease. Failure to treat the issue before it becomes worse may lead to tooth decay and eventual tooth loss. That’s why we recommend coming in for a cleaning right away.
