Is there a discount for paying out-of-pocket?
Yes! Patients paying entirely in cash receive a 5% discount on treatment.
Do you offer financing?
We partner with Cherry Pay and CareCredit to provide flexible financing options that fit your needs.
What if I don't have insurance?
We offer an in-house Dental Membership Plan with two cleanings per year, x-rays, exams, and 25% off most other services—with no deductibles or waiting periods.
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients should come in every six months for cleanings and exams. If you're managing gum disease or other concerns, we may recommend more frequent visits.
What happens at a routine visit?
Your visit includes a cleaning, oral exam, digital x-rays (if needed), gum health check, and oral cancer screening. We'll also review any treatment recommendations with you.
Can kids and adults be seen at the same time?
Yes! We welcome families and can often coordinate visits for children and parents on the same day.
What cosmetic services do you offer?
We provide Invisalign®, professional whitening, veneers and Lumineers, and custom smile makeover plans tailored to your goals.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes—our whitening systems are professional-grade and minimize sensitivity while delivering long-lasting results.
Will insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most cosmetic treatments aren’t covered, but if a procedure improves function or corrects damage (like a crown), partial coverage may apply.
What counts as restorative treatment?
Restorative care includes fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, extractions, and dental implants—all designed to restore strength and function.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. We offer sedation options and use gentle techniques to keep you comfortable throughout treatment.
How long do implants last?
With proper care, implants can last decades—often a lifetime.
Will insurance cover implants?
Many PPO plans offer partial coverage for restorative work. We’ll help you understand your benefits and offer financing if needed.
What sedation options do you offer?
We provide nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation—all administered safely by trained providers.
Will I be fully asleep during sedation?
Not quite—you’ll enter a deeply relaxed, sleep-like state, but remain responsive to gentle cues. Most patients remember very little of the procedure.
Is sedation safe?
Yes. We continuously monitor your vitals and tailor sedation to your needs. Our doctors are certified in moderate conscious sedation.
I haven't been to the dentist in years. What should I expect?
No judgment here! We’ll start with a conversation about your goals and comfort level, then move at your pace. Many patients say they feel at ease from the moment they walk in.
I have dental anxiety. Can you help?
Yes—we specialize in comfort-first care. In addition to sedation options, our team takes extra time to help you feel safe, supported, and informed.
