Do you accept new patients?
Yes! We would love to take care of you and your family’s dental needs. Contact our office to schedule your appointment.
What should I bring to my first dental appointment?
Typically, you will be asked to bring a photo ID and a copy of your insurance details, if you have dental insurance. We will send the new patient forms electronically before your appointment so they can be filled out ahead of time. Contact our office for more information or to schedule your appointment.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept all insurance, and we are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield. One of our complimentary services is to handle all the paperwork and help ensure you get the maximum insurance benefits.
However, please note that we do NOT accept HMO plans or Medicare/Medicaid.
What is preventative dentistry, and why is it important?
Preventative dentistry focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums to avoid dental problems like cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear. Regular cleanings, exams, and x-rays allow us to catch potential issues early, saving you time, money, and discomfort. Prevention is key to a lifelong healthy smile!
Why do I need x-rays?
X-rays allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. They help detect cavities, infections, bone loss, and other issues that aren’t visible during a standard exam. Regular x-rays ensure we can provide you with the most accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
Do you offer sedation dentistry?
Yes! We understand that dental anxiety can make it hard to get the care you need, so we offer nitrous oxide sedation to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your visit.
What is the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and gumline. It’s a routine part of preventive care for maintaining oral health.
A deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is recommended for patients with gum disease. It involves cleaning below the gumline to remove bacteria, tartar, and plaque buildup that cause inflammation and infection. This procedure helps prevent further damage to the gums and supporting bone.
Do you offer laser dentistry services?
Yes, we offer laser dentistry for select procedures! Laser technology provides a precise, minimally invasive option for treatments like gum contouring and certain periodontal therapies. It’s a great way to reduce discomfort, speed up healing, and improve your overall experience.
Do you make custom mouthguards?
Yes, we create custom-fitted mouthguards for various needs, including sports protection and relief from teeth grinding or clenching. A properly fitted mouthguard can protect your teeth, reduce jaw strain, and improve sleep quality if you suffer from teeth grinding.
What ages of patients do you see?
We specialize in care for kids and adults. Whether you’re coming in for routine cleanings, cosmetic procedures, or restorative treatments, our team provides exceptional care for your needs.
