Part of our patient-first care involves building a personal relationship with every patient which means taking some time to get to know each other and to listen to your concerns. Afterwards a comprehensive exam will be performed and digital x-rays will be taken as well as a discussion on the health of your teeth and gums. Once we review our findings with you, we will create an individualized treatment plan. Then we will schedule any necessary appointments to bring your teeth back to a healthy state.

Patient Forms

To make your first visit convenient, we will mail you all the necessary forms prior to your appointment. Please remember to fill them out and bring them with you.

Patient Policies

Dental insurance has played a role in helping people obtain better dental care. Since we
strongly feel that our patients deserve the best possible treatment we can provide, and in an
effort to maintain the highest quality of care, we would like to share the following facts
regarding dental insurance in general.

1. Dental insurance companies do not intend for their plans to cover all expenses occurred
   during a dental appointment. The plans serve as an aid toward acquiring better care.
2. Dental plans claiming coverage of ‘80% or 100%’ tend to mislead patients with regards
   to what the actual amount of coverage will be during your dental visit. The dental plan
   coverage percentage is NOT based on the fee schedule for any individual office, but
   rather a fee schedule that generally lags behind what the average industry wide fee
   would be. Each individual dentist sets their own fees and is not governed by any general
   fee guide. Your best option is to understand your own benefits package and contact the
   provider to find out your individual situation.
3. Many dental services are covered a specific maximum number of times in a calendar
   year. It is your responsibility to be informed of your plan’s limits.
4.  Some insurance companies tell their clients that the “dental fees being charged are
   above the usual and customary” when in fact, the benefit being paid is too low and not
   keeping pace with the industry costs. You do not have an average mouth and we do not
   perform average dentistry, therefore we do not charge average fees. Your treatment
   plan will be based on your dental health needs, not on the amount of benefit you are
   eligible to receive.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions about our office policies. We want you to be
comfortable in dealing with these matters and we urge you to consult us if you have any
questions regarding our services and/or fees. We will fill out and file your insurance as a
courtesy to you at no charge. We will do all that we can to assure you of maximum benefits,
but bear in mind that the insurance company is responsible to you and you are responsible
to us for your account. We cannot render services on the assumption that the charges will be
paid by the insurance company. If you have any questions regarding your insurance, we ask
that you contact your employer or insurance carrier regarding the specifics and details of
the plan it is conducting on your behalf.
