How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
We recommend professional teeth cleanings every six months to maintain healthy teeth and gums and catch any potential issues early.
Does Alafaya Family Dentistry accept insurance?
Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans, including United Healthcare, Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Delta Dental. If you’re unsure about your coverage, our team is happy to help.

What are clear aligners, and how do they work?
Clear aligners are an alternative to braces for straightening teeth. They are removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually shift your teeth into place over time.
What’s the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve appearance, while crowns cover the entire tooth to restore both function and aesthetics after damage or decay.
Is laser dentistry available at all locations?
Yes, our offices are equipped with advanced technology including iTero digital scanners, offering precise, comfortable care for diagnostics and treatments.
What is full mouth rehab?
Full mouth rehabilitation is a personalized plan combining multiple restorative treatments—like crowns, bridges, and cosmetic procedures—to rebuild and enhance your smile.
