Emergency Dental Services

To provide the best possible care for our patients, we kindly request at least a two-day notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to accommodate other patients who may need timely dental care. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us serve our patients efficiently.

Yes, we’d be happy to accommodate your whole family for treatment on the same day! Simply schedule in advance, and we’ll arrange appointments to ensure everyone receives the care they need during the same visit.

Yes, we are committed to providing care for dental patients with special needs. To ensure we can meet their specific requirements, we recommend scheduling a consultation to determine how we can best accommodate them and provide the appropriate care.

Yes, our office is fully accessible for patients with disabilities. Our building is ADA-compliant, and our treatment rooms are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate wheelchairs

For your first dental appointment, please bring your insurance information, a list of any medications you’re currently taking, and your health history. We also encourage you to bring any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with our team to ensure we provide the best care based on your needs.

A typical first dental appointment lasts about an hour and a half. This allows us ample time for a thorough exam, reviewing your dental and health history, and discussing any questions or concerns you may have.

Yes, we typically take X-rays as part of your dental care, following ADA recommendations for radiographs. This helps us get a comprehensive view of your oral health and identify any issues that may not be visible during a routine exam.

Yes, we’ll send you a dental appointment reminder using your preferred contact method. We offer reminders by text, email, phone calls, and even mailed cards, so you can choose the option that works best for you.

Our office is in-network with Delta Dental and Blue Cross Blue Shield. For other insurance providers, we can still work with your plan, though there may be additional out-of-pocket costs. Please feel free to call our office, and we’ll be happy to help you check if your plan covers out-of-network providers.

Yes, there may be out-of-pocket costs, particularly for cosmetic dentistry, as these services are generally not covered by insurance. However, we do offer treatment plans and submit prior authorizations to determine how much of the cost may be covered by your insurance, allowing us to provide you with an estimate of your expenses.

Yes, we do offer payment plans to help make dental care more accessible. At the time of service, we typically collect the copay, and if you’re unable to pay the full amount, we request half of the payment upfront and can work out the remaining balance over the next three months. Additionally, patients have the option to pursue personal financing through Care Credit and Green State for added flexibility.

Yes, we accept payments from both Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). For FSA transactions, we will provide an itemized receipt for your records. We also accept major credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, and Discover, for your convenience.

Yes, we are currently accepting new patients! We’d be happy to welcome you to our practice. Please feel free to contact our office to schedule your first appointment or if you have any questions.
