What should I bring to my first visit?
Please bring your medical and dental insurance cards, a photo ID, the names of your medical doctors, a list of medications and allergies, and your completed new patient forms.
How early should I arrive for my first appointment?
New patients are scheduled about 20 minutes early so there is time to complete any paperwork before the exam begins.
How long does a new patient exam take?
Your initial exam takes about one hour. It includes a conversation about your health and goals, a professional cleaning with our hygienist, and a complete exam with one of our dentists.
Do you see children?
Yes. We are a kid-friendly practice and recommend a child’s first visit by 12 months of age or within six months of the first tooth coming in.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?
Our in-house Dental Health Program is designed for patients without insurance and includes exams, cleanings, X-rays, oral cancer screenings, and savings on covered services.
Do you accept dental insurance?
We work with a variety of insurance providers. Call our office to confirm whether we currently work with your plan, and our team will help you understand your benefits.
What payment options are available?
Our team will work with you to find a payment solution that fits your needs. Call our office to ask about the payment options currently available.
Do you offer emergency dental care?
Yes. If you have severe tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, call us right away. We work to see dental emergencies as quickly as possible.
I’m nervous about the dentist. Can you help?
Absolutely. We offer sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, plus the gentle WaterLase iPlus laser, to help anxious patients feel calm and comfortable.
What is the WaterLase iPlus?
The WaterLase iPlus is a dental laser that uses water and laser energy to treat teeth and gums without the heat, vibration, and pressure of a traditional drill, often with less need for numbing shots.
How often should I have a dental checkup?
Most patients should have a checkup and professional cleaning every six months. Some patients with gum disease or other concerns may benefit from more frequent visits.
What cosmetic dentistry services do you offer?
We offer Zoom teeth whitening, professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers and laminates, Invisalign clear aligners, and complete smile makeovers.
How do you replace missing teeth?
We offer dental implants, All-on-4 full-arch implants, dental bridges, and full and partial dentures. During a consultation, we will recommend the option that best fits your health and goals.
Is a root canal painful?
With modern techniques and local anesthesia, a root canal feels much like getting a filling. Most patients find it relieves the pain caused by the infected tooth.
Do you offer Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth, close gaps, and correct many bite problems without metal braces.
