One Easy Way to Get Started
Checkups Made Simple
A dental checkup shouldn’t feel complicated. At Birch Tree Dentistry, Dr. Bouz takes the time to look closely, explain what he finds, and make sure you leave with a clear picture of your oral health.
Your Visit, At Your Pace
Every visit moves at a pace that works for you, not the clock. Questions are always welcome, and Dr. Bouz takes the time to answer them before moving forward.
Plain-Language Answers, Every Time
Dr. Bouz walks you through what he sees during your exam and X-rays, so you understand exactly what’s happening in your mouth, in plain language.
The Same Dentist, Every Visit
Seeing the same dentist at every checkup means Dr. Bouz gets to know your history, habits, and what’s normal for you. That continuity helps him catch small changes early and explain them clearly.
Financing & Insurance
Making It Work Financially
We accept most major insurance plans, so call or email to verify your coverage. For patients without insurance, Dental Prime Membership covers two annual exams, two cleanings, and routine X-rays for $375 a year, plus 15% off any restorative work. Financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, and Alphaeon is available for larger treatment costs.
Why Checkups Matter
A routine checkup does more than clean your teeth. Each visit helps Dr. Bouz stay ahead of small issues before they turn into bigger ones. Here’s what a checkup helps track:
- Early signs of a cavity, before it needs a filling
- Gum health and any early signs of gum disease
- Plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can’t reach on their own
- Wear patterns from grinding or clenching
- Changes in your bite or alignment over time
How Often You Should Schedule a Checkup
Most patients do well with a checkup every six months, though the right schedule depends on your specific needs.
- Every six months: The standard schedule for most patients, keeping cavities and gum concerns in check.
- Every three to four months: A closer schedule if you’re managing gum disease or ongoing periodontal care.
- More frequent early visits: Helpful for kids building comfort and healthy habits from the start.
- A fresh start, anytime: Whenever you’re ready to come back, no matter how long it’s been.
What’s Included in Your Checkup
Professional Cleaning
A hygienist clears away plaque and tartar buildup your toothbrush can’t reach, then polishes your teeth so they feel smoother and are easier to maintain at home.
Full Exam
Dr. Bouz takes a close, thorough look at your teeth, gums, and bite, checking for anything that needs attention now or down the road.
Digital X-Rays
Fast, low-radiation images reveal what’s happening beneath the surface, from early cavities between teeth to bone health below the gumline.
Oral Cancer Screening
A quick, painless screening built into every visit, giving you an added layer of protection with no extra appointment or cost.
Personalized Recommendations
Dr. Bouz walks you through what he finds using your X-rays, in plain language, so you understand exactly what’s happening and what, if anything, comes next.
