Question 2

Question 4

How do I prepare for my first visit?

For your first visit, please arrive 15 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork. Bring a valid ID, your insurance card (if applicable), and a list of any medications you're currently taking. We'll review your medical and dental history and discuss your dental goals.

Question 5

We graciously accept Visa, MasterCard, verified bank transfers, and cash. Our team is available to assist with any billing preferences you may have.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We believe in transparency and will always provide you with a detailed cost estimate before any treatment begins. This estimate will include what your insurance covers (if applicable) and your expected out-of-pocket costs.

Question 7

How do I schedule an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can schedule an appointment by calling our office, using our online booking system on this website, or sending us an email. We'll do our best to accommodate your preferred date and time.

Question 8

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We understand that schedules can change. We ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us to offer that time to other patients who may need care.

Question 9

How long will my appointment take?

Accepted Answer

Appointment length varies depending on the type of treatment. A routine cleaning and exam typically takes 45-60 minutes. More complex procedures may require longer appointments. We'll let you know the expected duration when you schedule.

Question 10

Can I schedule multiple family members at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We're happy to schedule multiple family members with back-to-back appointments or at the same time (if we have multiple chairs available). This makes dental visits more convenient for busy families.

Question 11

How often should I visit the dentist?

Accepted Answer

We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and examination. However, some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health needs. We'll create a personalized schedule that's right for you.

Question 12

Do you offer cosmetic dentistry services?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer a full range of cosmetic dentistry services including teeth whitening, veneers, Invisalign, dental bonding, and smile makeovers. Schedule a consultation to discuss how we can help you achieve your dream smile.

Question 13

Are dental X-rays safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, dental X-rays are very safe. Modern digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. We only take X-rays when clinically necessary and use lead aprons for additional protection. The benefits of early detection of dental problems far outweigh the minimal radiation exposure.

Question 14

Do you provide sedation dentistry?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer sedation options for patients who experience dental anxiety or are undergoing lengthy procedures. Options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. We'll discuss which option is best for you during your consultation.

Question 15

At what age should my child first visit the dentist?

Accepted Answer

We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first. Early visits help establish good dental habits and allow us to catch any potential issues early.

Question 16

Do you treat children?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We welcome patients of all ages, including children. Our team is experienced in making children feel comfortable and we create a positive, fun environment for young patients to help them develop healthy dental habits for life.

Question 17

Do you offer dental sealants for children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, dental sealants are a great preventive measure for children. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth where cavities are most likely to develop. They're quick to apply, painless, and can last several years.

Question 18

What should I do if I have a toothache?

Accepted Answer

Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove any food caught between teeth. Take over-the-counter pain medication if needed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum as it can cause burns. Call us as soon as possible to schedule an emergency appointment.

Question 19

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Accepted Answer

Time is critical! Gently rinse the tooth without touching the root. Try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it moist by placing it in milk or holding it in your cheek. Call us immediately - if you act quickly, we may be able to save the tooth.

Question 20

Is a chipped tooth an emergency?

Accepted Answer

A chipped tooth should be evaluated promptly, but it's not always an emergency unless it's causing severe pain or bleeding. Save any pieces of the tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water, and call us to schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
