Dental appointment lengths can vary depending on the nature of the visit and the specific procedures involved. Typically, routine dental check-ups and cleanings last around 45 minutes to an hour. During these appointments, our dental hygiene team will conduct a thorough examination of the teeth and gums, perform any necessary X-rays, clean the teeth, and provide oral health education and recommendations.
However, for more complex procedures such as dental fillings, root canals, or extractions, appointments may last longer, ranging from one to several hours, depending on the extent of the treatment required. Cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or veneer placement may also require longer appointment times.
Ultimately, the duration of a dental appointment is determined by the specific needs of the patient for that specific appointment and the procedures being performed. Dr. Brianna Szymanski strives to provide comprehensive care while ensuring your comfort and well-being throughout the appointment.
