Common Questions From Our Patients

When should a child have their first dental visit?

We encourage you to bring your child in for their first dental visit when their first tooth erupts. This might seem early, but if a child has a tooth, they can have tooth decay. We can advise you on best practices to care for your kids' teeth. We also try to make visits fun for younger patients so they are less likely to feel anxious as they get older.

Does dental insurance cover orthodontics?

Only your dental insurance provider can tell you about the specific benefits included in your plan, but in many cases, at least a portion of orthodontic care can be covered. If you want to know more about our payment options, you can talk to us about our third-party financing through CareCredit.

What can dental crowns and bridges be used for?

Dental crowns and bridges can be used in a wide variety of ways to restore damaged and missing teeth. We can use a single crown for repairing a tooth or, with a dental implant, replacing a missing tooth. A bridge is designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to either your other teeth or to dental implants.

I visited on 3/5/23 to have a front crown redone. Not sure if anyone has ever had anything done to their front teeth but it can be extremely painful. (I had this procedure at a different place, in which I will NEVER go again). Before I came I was extremely nervous because the time I had it done...
I visited on 3/5/23 to have a front crown redone. Not sure if anyone has ever had anything done to their front teeth but it can be extremely painful. (I had this procedure at a different place, in which I will NEVER go again). Before I came I was extremely nervous because the time I had it done before left me in tears. This time however was very different. The staff was extremely nice and put me at ease and I can honestly say, I barely felt a thing! Mayfair Family Dentistry, all the staff, and Dr. Holmes will ALWAYS have me for a patient!

I'm over 70 years old, and my teeth have given me troubles for decades for various reasons. I love Mayfair Family Dentistry for the total package of quality care, compassion, and professionalism from everyone there, and it starts with Dr. Arif-Holmes! I have had many very good dentists over the years in various cities, but Dr. Holmes is my all time favorite! If you need a dentist, I HIGHLY recommend them. Their facility is very modern and practically futuristic too. : ) Update 2/18/2026: My routine cleaning/exam was also excellent!
