Your Comfort Is Priority
In addition to providing excellent clinical care and having a caring, gentle chairside manner, we are happy to offer amenities that will make your experience rewarding. To start, select something to drink from our beverage bar. Then, you can get comfortable in the dental chair with a memory foam neck pillow, and a blanket if you need it. Enjoy music or TV with headphones, while in the operatory. We have complimentary WiFi, so feel free to bring your digital device.
During your treatment, we’ll continue to make you comfortable by offering nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation, as necessary. We also employ special techniques to ensure profound numbing, so you can remain relaxed throughout your procedures.
Another important aspect of your comfort comes with our financial and payment options. We never, ever extend treatment until a patient has reviewed and accepted the treatment plan. You’ll be provided with a pretreatment estimate of fees, so you’ll fully understand your financial responsibility. “No surprises,” is our motto! Our insurance experts will file your claim, whether or not we are an in-network provider for your policy. Should you desire to make monthly payments, ask about third-party financing.
The New Patient Experience
Checkup
By conducting a thorough, comprehensive oral examination, we can gain a full understanding of your oral system. At your initial checkup, we will look for:
Oral cancer
Gum disease
TMJ disorder
Tooth decay or fractures
Failing dental work
Cosmetics issuesssss
You’ll undergo a full set of x-rays and oral photography, and then the dentist will explain the findings. We will always answer all of your questions, so please do not be shy. When you truly understand the state of your oral health and recommended treatments, you can make wise confident decisions about your oral care.
Remember, early detection and treatment of small issues can help you avoid longer, more invasive restorative procedures in the future. We will work with you to create a solid foundation of good oral health, then we will help you maintain your strong, beautiful smile.
Cleaning
In addition to your exam, you will need a dental cleaning with one of our hygienists. All of our patients love the hygiene team! The hygienist will take time to talk with you about your concerns, help you improve your homecare routine, and look for signs of periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease. Should you have gum disease, you may need a deep cleaning to eliminate bacterial infection and restore your oral health.
