I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new owner of Parkway Dentistry at Langtree. My name is Dr. Megha Agrawal, and it’s an honor to continue the legacy of exceptional dental care that this practice has built over the years.
My philosophy is simple — to care for every patient like family. My team and I are deeply committed to providing the highest standard of dentistry in a warm, comfortable, and personalized setting. Whether you’re here for a routine cleaning or a complex treatment, you can expect honesty, compassion, and excellence in every visit.
As we move through this transition, you may temporarily notice that our office appears out of network (OON) with certain dental insurance plans. Please rest assured — we are actively completing the credentialing process to become in-network with all the same insurance providers. During this time, we’ll do everything possible to minimize any inconvenience and help you navigate your coverage.
We’re genuinely excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to welcome you to your next appointment. Thank you for trusting us with your smiles — we look forward to taking great care of you and your family for many years to come.
Warm regards, Dr. Megha Agrawal, DDS
3 Reasons Why a Specialist is Best
Posted on 1/10/2022 by Parkway Dentistry at Langtree
General dentists are always present throughout our oral health journey. Whether it's regular checkups, cleanings, scaling, or cavity check, your dentist, know your entire dental history. If you regularly visit your dentist, then you are likely on a first-name basis with your dentist. There's no doubt that you owe your dentist a lot, but treatments are beyond their skills, and the patient is recommended to a specialist depending on the dental complication.
Some of the specialists a patient is likely to be referred to for more specialized treatment include orthodontist, periodontist, prosthodontist, pediatric dentist, and an oral and maxillofacial dentist. There are many reasons why a specialist is preferred over a general dentist, which include:
The Specialist has Additional Training
Specialists usually go for additional schooling, which is culminated with a minimum of two years of residency. It is important to undergo continued education as a dental practitioner to ensure they remain in good standing and retain their licenses. Although dentists can perform a range of procedures, they lack the skills to perform complex procedures. This is the main reason why patients prefer specialists, compared to general dentists.
Specialists Perform the Same Treatments daily
Specialists focus on specific conditions, which they treat regularly. Dentists perform different procedures, but they don't necessarily have the skill and experience of performing complex procedures. The repetitive nature of specialists gives them experience in providing specialized care to patients, making them better at treating certain dental complications.
Specialists Invest in Procedure-Specific Material and Equipment
General dentists invest in all-purpose tools because they usually handle a wide range of procedures. Specialists invest in tools that make their specialty easier and smoother for better results. All dentistry specialists have specific tools that enable them to perform complex procedures and enhance the quality of care provided.
