Common Dental Questions
At Dentistry By Design PC, our dental team has taken the time to answer some common dental questions that patients ask throughout the South Huntington and Huntington area. Contact our South Huntington dentist, Dr. Joseph Ayoub, to schedule a consultation for all your dental needs.
How Often Should I Get A Dental Checkup?
Routine dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings will ensure your smile remains in excellent condition and that any developing dental issues receive the prompt care they require. While scheduling a checkup and cleaning twice a year is a good idea, longer or shorter intervals between routine visits will depend on your needs.
What If I Haven’t Visited The Dentist In A Long Time?
We fully understand that life gets complicated and busy. For various reasons, you haven’t been able to visit the dentist for care. Don’t worry! It’s always an excellent time to reconnect with your dental health.

dental crowns,
root canal therapy,
gum disease treatment, or the replacement of missing teeth with
dental implants, we provide precise, comfortable, stress-free dental treatment to give you a beautiful and healthy smile.
Is It Safe For Pregnant Women To Get A Dental Check-up?
For pregnant women practicing good oral care, seeing a dentist to maintain a healthy smile is essential, a crucial factor in prenatal care. Studies have found that pregnancy not only increases the risk of oral health issues, but these problems may also lead to pregnancy complications. At the office of
Dentistry By Design PC, we provide skilled and compassionate dental care to aid expectant mothers in keeping their teeth and gums in top-notch shape. While we do not recommend specific procedures during pregnancy, we provide the necessary care and take all the required precautions.

How Much Does Dental Treatment Cost?

Once we’ve had the time to examine your smile, Dr. Ayoub can give you a clear picture of any present dental issues, along with a quote for the treatment cost. We aim to make dental care more affordable so you can begin treatment without additional stress or delay.
Remember that routine dental checkups and periodic care can aid in preventing dental disease while treating emerging issues early, to avoid more significant and expensive dental care.
What Treatments Will Replace A Missing Tooth?
Suppose you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, gum disease, or other reasons. In that case, we recommend dental implants for replacing missing teeth. Implants come the closest to replicating natural teeth’ appearance, feel, and function.
Do I Need Regular Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings with Dentures?
Even if you have dentures, you still need to see a dentist! Dental checkups will ensure that your dentures are comfortable, fitting correctly, and with no other problems. Beyond assessing your dentures, Dr. Ayoub will also thoroughly examine the jawbone and surrounding soft tissues inside the mouth, the face, and the neck to confirm that you remain in excellent oral health.
