We review your health history, take any X-rays that are needed and complete a thorough exam. Then we talk through what we found and answer your questions.
Good to know before you come.
Appointments are reserved for you
We specially reserve the doctor’s time and our dental assistant’s time for each appointment and do not double book. A missed appointment affects other patients, so we assess a fee of $80 for missed appointments without adequate notice. If something comes up, please call as early as you can.
Insurance
Dental plans vary widely. Call us with your plan information before your visit and we will explain how your benefits work at our office. Please bring your insurance card to your appointment.
Payment
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. You can pay at the office or through our secure online payment page.
Pay your bill onlineIf you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not use this website, our contact form, or email to request emergency care. For urgent dental problems, see our dental emergency page.
New patient questions.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring your completed new patient forms, a photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have coverage, and a list of the medications you take. If you have recent X-rays from another dentist, ask that office to send them to us.
How long is a first appointment?
Plan on a longer visit than a routine checkup, since we review your health history, take any X-rays that are needed and complete a thorough exam. We reserve the time for you and do not double book.
What is your missed appointment policy?
Because we reserve the doctor’s and assistant’s time for each patient, a missed appointment affects other patients. We charge an $80 fee for missed appointments without adequate notice. If something comes up, please call us as early as you can.
Can I fill out my forms online?
The new patient packet is a PDF you can download, print and fill out at home. Bring the completed forms with you. If you cannot print them, arrive a few minutes early and we will give you a copy at the office.
