Our team approach assures your involvement in every day dental decisions from determining your needs, to establishing a dental care plan such as: treatment choices, time frame and cost. We invite your questions and value any suggestions you may have. We are here to help, but more importantly, we respect your right to choose a treatment plan that meets your expectations.

Good dentistry is more than excellent clinical skills and state-of-the-art equipment. Establishing lasting relationships with our patients based upon mutual trust and open communication is important to us. Our goal is to establish a long-term result that looks great, feels comfortable and fits your dental budget. We're happy to work with your insurance company to ensure that you are able to take full advantage of your benefits. In order to provide the highest quality care on a sound basis, we have developed a full range of convenient payment options for you to choose from. Prior to the commencement of treatment, fees and financial arrangements will be discussed with you.

The New Patient Experience:

Our overall goal is to provide you with the highest quality restorative and preventative dental care available. As a patient we will sit down with you to develop an individualized treatment plan to help you reach your vision in coordination with your dental budget. We welcome your questions at your appointment and look forward to meeting you.

Licensed registered dental hygienists (RDH) play an important role in your total dental treatment. The preventive regime selected depends upon your course of treatment with the doctor, and may include the following:

• Collect clinical information and take required x-rays and records needed prior to your appointment with the doctor.
• Clean your teeth. (Depending on the initial findings, this may be accomplished in one visit, or may require a series of appointments to complete.)
• Develop individualized home care methods to keep your teeth clean and gums healthy during the course of your dental treatment.
• Determine specific recall intervals after the active phase of your treatment to maintain your new smile.
