Answers to FAQs
Are you accepting new patients?
Definitely. We consider a referral from current clients the sincerest compliment and would love to treat your friends or relatives.
Do you have evening hours or Saturday appointments?
We understand that our patients have busy lives, so we offer hours that accommodate their varying needs. One night a week we stay open until 7 p.m., and we have Saturday appointments until noon. Contact us to schedule your next visit.
How do you handle emergencies?
We see emergency patients daily during regular business hours. If you have an after-hours emergency, please call the office and we will connect you with the doctor on call.
Will you accept my insurance?
Our practice is not in-network for insurance, but we accept dental plans that allow you to select your doctor. We will work with patients to help maximize their benefits. Please call us if you need more detailed information.
What options are there for special needs or particularly nervous patients?
We pride ourselves on treating all patients with compassion. For patients with certain medical conditions, those with behavioral difficulties, or anyone who experiences anxiety, we often suggest sedation dentistry. With sedation dentistry, patients can rest comfortably and get the care they need.
