General Dentistry FAQs
Q: How often should I visit the dentist?
👉 We recommend a dental exam and cleaning every six months. Regular visits help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues before they become serious.
Q: Do you accept dental insurance?
👉 Yes! Sekhon Dental – Dentist Agoura Hills accepts most PPO insurance plans, and we also offer flexible membership plans for patients without insurance.
Q: What age should children start visiting the dentist?
👉 The American Dental Association recommends children see a dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth. We provide gentle, family-friendly care for kids, teens, and adults.
Q: What if I have dental anxiety?
👉 You’re not alone. Many patients feel nervous. Our Agoura Hills office offers a calm environment, gentle techniques, and sedation options if needed.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Q: What is the best way to whiten my teeth?
👉 Professional in-office whitening is the safest and fastest way to brighten your smile—often several shades whiter in just one visit. We also offer custom take-home kits.
Q: How do veneers work?
👉 Porcelain veneers are thin shells placed on the front of teeth to fix chips, stains, or uneven shapes. They look natural and last for many years with proper care.
Q: Are dental implants better than dentures?
👉 Implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They look and function like natural teeth and help preserve your jawbone. At Sekhon Dental – Dentist Agoura Hills, our periodontist, Dr. Jon Akhavan, places implants right here in our office.
Q: How long does Invisalign take?
👉 Invisalign treatment usually takes 6–18 months, depending on your case. The aligners are clear, comfortable, and removable—perfect for adults and teens in Agoura Hills.
