Our emphasis is on complete family dentistry.  We begin seeing patients when they are three years old.  We recommend a check-up and a cleaning every 6 months.  Children under the age of 16 should have a fluoride treatment as well.

True emergencies are seen within 24 hours.  Gentle, painless dentistry is our goal.

Patients without insurance

Fees are due in full at the time of service.  In treatments involving multiple appointments, payments may be divided equally over the course of the procedures.

Patients with Dental Insurance

Each patient accepts the responsibility for payment for services rendered, including procedures not covered by your insurance. Dental insurance can be complicated to understand.  Our staff will do all it can to get the proper reimbursement.  We will submit and track your claims for you.  No insurance pays 100%.  You are expected to pay your portion immediately upon receipt of our statement.

Insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures.  Payment is due at the time of treatment.

We accept cash, checks, Master Card, Visa, and Discover.

Office hours are by appointment only - Monday, Thursday, and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. – Tuesdays 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
We pride ourselves in knowing how long each procedure takes, therefore we do not schedule more then one patient at a time.  Your appointed time is for you alone.

There is limited parking behind our building in our driveway for patients.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

We have been using tooth colored restorative material for the last 30 years.  Bonding fillings are used wherever possible.  It is our goal to have your teeth look natural and beautifully white.  The newest materials and technology are used to provide that perfect young smile.

We have the most effective teeth bleaching system on the market.  The Doctors can discuss with you the results you may expect.

STERILIZATION

There is no area more important than infection control.  All instruments are ultrasonically scrubbed, then sterilized with highly specialized machines.
