Your First Visit
Your first visit will likely be completely different from any dental experience you have had in the past - in a very good way. You will quickly see what a dedicated servant culture looks like. We are truly here for you! After you’ve been quickly checked in by our friendly team, you’ll be escorted to your treatment room, where a staff member will give you a pre-exam and take some X-rays. Your dentist will then come in, spend a little time chatting with you about your dental history and goals, and give you a more detailed exam. They’ll go over their findings with you, using the images from earlier as visual guides, and discuss your treatment options in detail. You’ll be given plenty of time to ask questions, and once you and your dentist have agreed on a care plan, you’ll be escorted back to the front desk. By the time you leave, you will have a full understanding of any issues that need to be remedied, the options, and pros and cons of each.

Dental Insurance
Our dental office consciously chooses to prioritize a patient’s needs and not let their care be dictated by their insurance coverage. As a result, we are not in-network with any dental insurance providers. This allows us for greater flexibility in the techniques, materials, and labs we can use to deliver the best possible experience and results. If someone’s insurance plan offers coverage for our recommended treatment, it can obviously be used to help offset the cost.
Dental insurance generally has several components. Your premium payments, an annual benefit, a deductible, and the copayment. In nearly every situation, nothing is different when a patient visits a dentist that is in-network or out of network with regards to premium payments, annual benefit, or deductible. There may only be a difference in copayments for some treatments. For cleanings and x-rays, there likely will be little if any difference.
We comprehensively verify your insurance, you will have a full understanding of all aspects of your care as it pertains to your insurance, and we will file all claims for you. Ultimately, the most important part of this is that we have the ability for years to come to provide you with care that you deserve!
Dental Financing
For patients who can’t afford to pay for their treatments all at once, it is possible to get low-to-no interest financing that is uniquely suited to their budget. Patients can sign up for plans that are as short as 6-months or as long as 36-months based on their needs and credit approval. Our financing options feature NO surprise fee, hidden charges, or prepayment penalties, and signing up only takes a few minutes.
