Frequently Asked Questions

At Joppa Family Dentistry, we believe open communication is the foundation of great dental care. We want every patient—whether you're visiting us from Joppa, Edgewood, White Marsh, or anywhere in Harford County—to feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their care. Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most often. If you don't see yours listed, don't hesitate to give us a call!

How often should I schedule a dental checkup and cleaning?

We recommend scheduling a checkup and professional cleaning twice a year. Regular visits allow Dr. Shapiro and Dr. Oh to catch any developing concerns early and keep your smile in excellent health. Patients with a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or certain medical conditions may benefit from more frequent visits every 3–4 months.

Do you treat patients of all ages?

Absolutely! Joppa Family Dentistry has been serving patients of all ages for over 50 years. From young children visiting the dentist for the first time to seniors looking to maintain or restore their smiles, our team is experienced in providing compassionate, personalized care for every stage of life.

What's the best way to replace missing teeth?

Dental implants are today's most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, preserve jawbone structure, and can last a lifetime with proper care. We also offer conventional bridges and dentures for patients seeking alternative options. Dr. Shapiro and Dr. Oh will help you find the right solution for your smile and lifestyle.

What cosmetic services do you offer?

We offer a full menu of cosmetic dental services designed to enhance the appearance of your smile. From professional teeth whitening and porcelain veneers to tooth-colored fillings and smile makeovers, our team combines artistry and advanced techniques to help patients achieve the smiles they've always wanted.

What if I'm nervous about going to the dentist?

Dental anxiety is very common, and our team at Joppa Family Dentistry is here to help. We take a gentle, patient-focused approach and take the time to explain every step of your treatment so you always feel in control. If you have significant anxiety, ask us about sedation options—we want every visit to be as comfortable as possible.

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?

Yes! We make every effort to see patients experiencing a dental emergency on the same day they call, including new patients. Whether you're dealing with a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or another urgent concern, our team is here to provide prompt, compassionate care and get you back on the road to oral health.
