OFFICE PHILOSOPHY AND POLICY: (Please Read)

In an effort to determine a treatment plan that is best for your overall dental health, we must make a careful diagnosis. This involves a thorough examination, often utilizing the minimum number of X-rays necessary for accuracy.
We pledge to provide high quality dentistry in the most comfortable manner possible, with the best equipment, materials and up-to-date techniques.
The long term success of our effort will depend on the patients' willingness to maintain their teeth and prevent any future dental problems.
Your appointment time will be reserved especially for you. If you are unable to keep the appointment, we require 48 hours’ notice; or a $75.00 charge may be applied. We do NOT accept cancellation through voicemail.
Our office policy is that services are paid for at each visit as they are performed. In certain circumstances, financial arrangements for payment may be made by consulting the patient care coordinator.
Insurance: All patients with dental insurance are responsible for payment of their own accounts. We are pleased that you have insurance to reimburse or minimize your personal expenditure, and we will gladly complete any claim forms to assist you in coordinating your dental benefits. Please make certain you understand any limitations in your contract. We will gladly submit 'estimate forms,' if necessary.
All urgent dental problems will be attended to same day, under normal circumstances. You may call our office or answering service at any time.
A healthy dentist-patient relationship is based on mutual respect and understanding. Please feel relaxed and open to discuss with us, any aspect of your treatment or fees, at any time.
