Payment Options
Our Goal
We aim to help remove financial barriers so our patients can receive the dental care they need and desire. Prior to scheduling any treatment, we are happy to provide patients with an estimate of costs.
Insurance Friendly
We accept nearly all forms of dental insurance, and work to ensure you receive maximum benefits. Your out-of-pocket expenses are minimized by filing your dental insurance claims for you, and "accepting assignment" of your benefits. This means that at the time of treatment you are only responsible for paying the estimated difference between our fee for your procedure and the maximum fee that your insurance company will cover. You will always be provided with this estimated charge prior to your appointment.
Payment Methods
Patients with dental insurance are required to pay their estimated portion of fees for their procedure at the time of treatment. Patients without dental are insurance are required to pay the full balance of fees for their procedure at the time of treatment. We accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard and American Express. We also offer flexible, interest free financing options through CareCredit because we understand that monthly payments can help patients fit the costs of dental treatment into their budgets.

We understand that many - if not most - people experience some form of anxiety when they come to the dentist. We are committed to doing everything we can to relieve you of any fear you may experience when visiting us. Most of our patients find that our office environment is less threatening than that of many other dental offices. However, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and pre-medication if you need a little extra something to get you over the hump.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY:
Digital X-rays:
Digital x-rays are quicker, more convenient and more comfortable than traditional, film-based x-rays and expose you to far LESS radiation. They provide us with the highest quality radiographical image of your teeth, which allows us to accurately diagnose any cavities or pathology present in your mouth.
Intraoral Camera:
IHave you ever wondered what the inside of your mouth actually looks like? With our intraoral camera, we are able to provide you with high-resolution images of the inside of your mouth. A real "picture" is much easier for you to understand than an x-ray, helping you better understand your diagnosis.
Paperless Charting:
Our office is fully digital, and we avoid handling paper at all costs. Our patients have the ability to fill out their forms and manage their account completely online. This is convenient for you, environmentally friendly, and allows our office to operate more efficiently.
Professional Teeth Whitening:
Whiter teeth can do wonders for your confidence, self-esteem and even your attitude! White teeth are typically deemed more attractive than stained teeth and generally have a cleaner look. Whitening your teeth can encourage you to take better care of them too, because when your smile looks better, you want to care for it. We offer several professional whitening solutions by Crest and Opalescence as both in-office and take-home treatments.
