Our patients look to us as an integral part of their medical team. They are committed to maintaining and improving their health. We share in that commitment, so at your first visit we will start with an in-depth review of your medical and dental history. We’ll then conduct a thorough comprehensive exam to evaluate the structures inside and outside the mouth, gather the appropriate visual records, and document findings. We will perform a routine cleaning of your teeth and discuss recommendations for any proactive or restorative treatments.  

Serving our customers is a top priority and we work hard to navigate the billing process for you. We accept most dental plans, but if you are concerned about your insurance coverage, call us before your appointment.  

It’s important to realize that most dental insurance plans as designed to encourage preventative care and assist with the cost of your dental health needs. However, most plans are not designed to cover the full cost of treatment. We have several options available to help you invest in your health beyond what is covered by insurance. So, if you need restorative treatment and are worried about the paying for it, let’s talk.  

Dentistry focuses on prevention, so taking care of your dental needs now may actually save you money in the long run. Plus, oral health is connected to overall health, this means that the health of your mouth can have an impact on the health of your body. Your oral health might even indicate whether you are at risk for other health issues.  

While some dental services can be postponed, other treatments shouldn’t be delayed because they might prevent more extensive treatment or stop disease. Rather than delay treatment until you can save enough money to pay for it, financing plans can help you get the care you need - when you need it. We can walk you through financing options and help you understand the pros and cons of financing care. 

On your next preventative cleaning appointment, ask us about our CariFree product. Cavities are caused by bacterial imbalances. For some people, regular brushing isn’t enough to keep you free of decay. CariFree elevated pH products neutralize decay-causing acids to fix decay problems at its source. Our trained staff can assess your unique situation to determine if you are a good candidate for CariFree preventative therapy.
