Practicing at her dental office in Scottsdale, AZ, Dr. Mariana Conant has been performing dentistry since 1997.
“After experiencing a very bad toothache as a young woman and having great difficulty finding a qualified dentist, I developed an appreciation for this profession and knew it was what I wanted to pursue. One of my goals is to empower patients through education and help eliminate their fears about dental treatment. I want to give my patients the confidence that they have found their dental team and make them feel good about going to the dentist, whether they are visiting us for either routine or more specific dental treatment. ”
“We are at the forefront of the newest technologies and dental techniques to give patients the care they deserve. We focus on health and esthetics in order to provide patients with overall wellness. What I enjoy most is actually seeing all the positive changes and our patients’ new-found appreciation for their own oral health. It is so rewarding to give patients dental restorations that are both functional and beautiful.”
How often you go for dental exams depends on your oral health needs. The goal is to catch small problems early. For many people, this means a dental exam every six months. Your dentist may suggest that you visit more or less often depending on how well you care for your teeth and gums, problems you have that need to be checked or treated, how fast tartar builds up on your teeth, and so on.
How often you need to have x-rays also depends on your oral health. A healthy adult who has not had cavities or other problems for a couple of years probably won’t need x-rays at every appointment. If your dental situation is less stable and your dentist is monitoring your progress, you may require more frequent x-rays.
Original dental records belong to the dentist who provided the treatment, and not the patient, because dentists have to keep all of their records for a period of time, as set out by their provincial dental regulatory body. Once you have selected a new dentist, you can request that a copy of your records be transferred from your former dentist.
