What Our Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
We typically begin seeing children around ages 3–4. For younger children, we may recommend a pediatric specialist if needed.
How often should I see the dentist?
Most patients benefit from visits every six months for cleanings and exams, though some may require more frequent care.
Do you accept insurance?
We participate with Delta Dental Premier and will file claims for many other insurance plans. Please contact our office for details about your specific plan.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?
We are happy to see patients without insurance. Please call our office to discuss payment options.
Do you offer emergency appointments?
Yes. We make every effort to see patients experiencing pain, swelling, or urgent dental issues as quickly as possible.
Do you offer sedation?
We do not offer sedation options; however, we take special care with patients who experience dental anxiety and focus on creating a calm, comfortable experience.
What is the difference between a filling and a crown?
A filling repairs a smaller area of decay within a tooth. A crown covers and protects the entire tooth when it has significant damage or weakening.
