First Appointment
  • How can I make an appointment?

    We welcome all new patients! Please contact us whichever is most convenient for you. We can be reached via email (attach link), through our 24/7 chat representative, or you may call our office Monday - Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Friday 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM. 


    We can’t wait to meet you, contact us to schedule your appointment 

  • What information should I bring with me?

    Please bring your ID and Insurance card. 


    We strongly encourage you to provide us with your insurance information at least three days before your appointment. This allows us to get a complete overview of your benefits which takes time and it also allows us to inform you of any co-pay you may have that way you aren’t surprised when you come in. 

     

    Our patient registration forms can be filled out online (attach link). Having these forms filled out before you arrive eliminates the need to come in early for your appointment. However, if you don’t get a chance to fill out your forms online, please arrive 15 minutes ahead of time.

  • Do you take my insurance?

    We accept all PPO insurances. Unfortunately, we do not accept medicare, medicaid and HMOs. 

    We don’t want finances to keep you from getting the dental work you deserve which is why we offer an in office insurance plan, we also have a $99 New Patient Special and we have a monthly payment option. 


    Please contact us today to learn more about which option is best for you. 

  • How long will my first appointment last?

    We value your time and we appreciate you choosing us for your dental needs. Our New Patient appointments take an hour and a half. We take our time to get to know each patient and we also want you to get to know us, which is why on your first visit we will do a thorough examination, full set of x-rays, examining you for dental decay, gum disease and oral cancer and then discuss with you in depth about your treatment. We typically do not do cleanings on the first visit since we do not know if a patient has gum disease. If you are eligible for a regular cleaning we will make every effort to accommodate you the same day.

  • I have a medical condition, do I need a clearance?

    Most health conditions do not require a medical clearance on the first visit, however there are some exceptions to this norm. To ensure your safety, a clearance is required if you are:

    • Pregnant
    • Need to be premedicated before your appointment
    • Any type of heart disease

  • Why can’t I get a regular cleaning?

    There are three types of cleanings:


    Healthy Gums - Regular (polish) Cleanings are for patients with no gum disease and no bone loss. If you are a new patient, we must establish that you do not have any gum disease before we can clean your teeth. If you have healthy gums we will schedule your cleaning after your New Patient Exam. 


    Patients with gum disease - If you have gingivitis, slight, moderate or advanced periodontal disease we will discuss your treatment options during your appointment. Depending on which category you fall under, will determine the treatment you need and how long your treatment will take. This is why it’s best to schedule you back to ensure we reserve the time you need for your appointment.
