Frequently Asked Questions

Will It Hurt?

We will be as gentle as possible. Your dental examination can be completed with little or no discomfort.

Do I Need X-Rays?

We will need current x-rays in order to see disease not otherwise visible. If another dentist has taken x-rays within the past 6 months, you may request that they be forwarded to us.

What Will It Cost?

Since all patients are different, your initial comprehensive exam must be completed before establishing your treatment plan and the fee for care. The fee for dental treatment can vary considerably depending on the type of problems and the complexity and length of treatment. An approximate fee can usually be determined at the initial visit; but on occasion, some initial treatment or further diagnostics must be completed before the final treatment plan can be established. Our philosophy of practice is to treat as conservatively as possible to attain treatment goals.

Will My Insurance Cover The Cost?

Dental insurance policies often cover most treatment. Please bring all medical and dental benefit information and cards to your examination appointment. Upon request, we will submit a claim to predetermine your insurance benefits; however, this is not required by most plans.
