Why regular checkups matter

The foundation of a healthy smile.

General dentistry is the everyday care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy for life: exams, cleanings, X-rays and treating small problems before they turn into painful or expensive ones. A cavity caught early is a simple filling. Left alone, the same tooth can need a root canal and crown.

Your mouth also affects the rest of your body. Research links gum disease with heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy complications, so healthy gums are part of staying healthy overall.

It is time to book a visit if you:

  • Are due, or overdue, for a checkup and cleaning
  • Notice bleeding, swollen or receding gums
  • Have sensitivity to hot, cold or sweets
  • Have a toothache, chipped tooth or lost filling
  • Grind or clench your teeth, or wake up with jaw pain
  • Have not seen a dentist in a few years

Why patients choose Dr. Patel

A McKinney family dentist who takes time to explain.

Dr. Patel built Edge Dental Designs on a simple idea: you should understand what is going on in your mouth, why a treatment is recommended and what it will cost before you decide.

She is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, an honor held by only about 6% of general dentists, earned through hundreds of hours of continuing education and a comprehensive exam. That advanced training means more of your care, from fillings and crowns to implants and gum treatment, can happen right here instead of at a specialist's office.

Families from Frisco, Prosper and Celina make the short drive for the same reasons our McKinney patients stay: unhurried visits, modern technology and evening and Saturday hours.

Nervous about the dentist? You're not alone.

Questions

General dentistry FAQs for McKinney patients.

How often should I see the dentist?

Most adults and children should have an exam and cleaning every six months. If you have a history of gum disease, we usually recommend a periodontal maintenance cleaning every three to four months to keep it under control. Dr. Patel will recommend a schedule based on your own mouth, not a one-size-fits-all rule.

How soon can I get a new patient appointment?

New patient exams and cleanings are usually available within 7 days. We offer appointments until 7 PM on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, plus Friday and Saturday mornings, so it is easy to fit a visit around work and school.

Do you take my dental insurance?

We accept most PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Aetna, BCBS, MetLife, Guardian and Cigna. Our team verifies your benefits before your visit, so you know what is covered and what your share will be before any treatment begins.

What if I don't have dental insurance?

You still have options. Our Edge Care membership includes two exams and cleanings a year, X-rays, an annual 3D scan, oral cancer screenings and fluoride, plus 25% off other treatment. We also offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry.

Do you see children and families?

Yes. We see kids, teens and adults, so the whole family can be seen in one office. Our Child Care membership covers children 13 and under who do not have insurance.

What is a deep cleaning and do I need one?

A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line when gum disease is present. A regular cleaning only treats the area above the gums. Dr. Patel will measure your gum pockets and only recommend a deep cleaning if your gums need it.

Do you see patients from Frisco, Prosper and Celina?

Yes. Our office at 1521 N. Custer Road sits right where McKinney, Frisco and Prosper meet, just off US-380, about 10 minutes from most of Prosper and an easy drive from Celina.
