Questions we hear most
Do you take my insurance?
We bill some dental plans and file claims for others, and we check your dental and medical benefits before you decide. The plan decides what it pays. See how it is billed.
What if I don't have insurance?
You get a written estimate before treatment, and each step's fee before it starts. Third-party financing is available; approval and terms are set by the lender.
Do you accept Medicaid or CHIP?
We are not enrolled with Medicaid or CHIP. The owner edits this line.
Will it hurt?
You are numbed for every procedure, and you can ask for a break. Soreness and swelling are common for several days afterward, and we send you home with written instructions.
How often do I need X-rays and a cleaning?
Your own dentist decides that for the teeth you keep. After final teeth are fitted, we schedule check-ups with scans as the plan lists.
What is a deep cleaning?
It's a cleaning under the gums for gum disease. Your own dentist or a periodontist does it, and we ask for it before surgery when it's needed.
Do you see children?
No. We treat adults. We can refer a child to a pediatric dentist.
What counts as a dental emergency, and what do I do first?
Swelling that spreads, trouble breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that won't stop needs the emergency room or 911. For a loose temporary set or pain after surgery, call us.
Do you offer sedation, and who gives it?
Yes. The surgeon doing your procedure gives it, at the level the state permit allows, and you are monitored throughout. Comfort and sedation has the details.
Can I get a written estimate before treatment?
Yes. You have it in writing before any treatment, and again for each stage if the plan changes.
Do you speak Spanish?
Flor Loya, our treatment coordinator, speaks Spanish and English.
How do I cancel or change a visit?
Call us as early as you can. Surgery visits need a day's notice so another patient can use the time.
Still have a question?
Call and ask Flor, or send a note. We'll answer without any pressure to book.
