Your Perfect Smile Starts Here

Most dental professionals recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. However, some patients with specific dental conditions may need to visit more frequently. Your dentist will recommend a schedule tailored to your oral health needs.

Yes, dental X-rays are very safe. We use digital X-ray technology which exposes patients to about 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. The amount of radiation from a full set of dental X-rays is less than what you receive from natural sources in a typical day. We also use lead aprons and thyroid collars for additional protection.

If you experience a dental emergency such as a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or broken dental restoration, contact our office immediately. We reserve time in our schedule for dental emergencies. For after-hours emergencies, our answering service will connect you with the on-call dentist. If you have a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist (in milk or saliva) and try to see a dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.

We accept most dental insurance plans and will help you maximize your benefits. For patients without insurance or for treatments not covered by insurance, we offer several payment options including cash, credit cards, and flexible payment plans through third-party financing companies. We also offer discounts for upfront payment of major treatments and have a membership plan for patients without dental insurance.

Dental anxiety is common, and we have several strategies to help you feel more comfortable:

• Communicate your fears - we can adjust our approach
• Use of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for relaxation
• Oral sedation options for more extensive procedures
• Distraction techniques like music or TV during treatment
• Stop signals so you can take breaks when needed
• Gentle, compassionate approach from our entire team
