Frequently Asked Questions

Do you see children and adults?

Dr. Cattaneo is happy to meet the dental needs of your entire family because we know that adults aren’t the only ones susceptible to the most common dental problems. During a checkup, Dr. Cattaneo will evaluate your smile, or your little one’s smile, and make any necessary treatment recommendations. We are committed to building healthy, beautiful smiles for patients of all ages.

How often should I see Dr. Cattaneo for preventive care?

For optimal oral health and wellbeing, your family should see Dr. Cattaneo twice a year. With frequent visits like these, we can watch for changes in your health and offer earlier, more conservative care that preserves your natural smile.

What is trigger point therapy?

Trigger point therapy is a drug-free treatment for TMJ dysfunction that uses a massage to relieve pain. Dr. Cattaneo studied this technique at Stanford University and is happy to teach patients how to use it at home for relief when it’s most needed.

Can cosmetic dentistry help me?

If you hide your smile because of stained, chipped, cracked, or misaligned teeth, the answer is yes. We offer several of today’s best cosmetic services, including porcelain veneers. In a consultation appointment, we can talk to you about your needs, your goals, and your treatment options so that you end up with beautiful results.

Do you offer dental implants?

Yes, we do. This versatile restorative service is a great treatment option for patients who are missing one or more teeth. Dental implants have a crown and root structure similar to a natural tooth, leading to results that look and feel more natural. Visit our office for more information and to find out if you’re a candidate for care with dental implants.
