How much will insurance pay?
Dental insurance plans are set up to encourage preventative care. They vary widely in dentist selection, cost, and coverage and the difference between insurance plans is significant.

What if I don’t like the noise during treatment?

Can I get my teeth cleaned at the first appointment?
The answer to this question is “we will try our best to clean your teeth at the first appointment.”, but there are other factors involved in this answer. If you have healthy teeth and gums we can usually go ahead with the cleaning. There are some instances when you need a more in depth cleaning because of periodontal disease. We will do a complete examination to determine your dental needs.
Do you have a payment plan?
We have many payment options available to our patients. We also give a discount for payments made on the day of service. We except payments using cash, check, debit or most major credit cards. We also have a financing option called Care Credit, which is a healthcare credit card that gives options of no interest payments for up to 18 months. We would be happy to help you fill out an application.
