Yes! We are happily welcoming new patients and their families to our dental clinic. Please contact us to book an appointment.

Digital dental X-rays, or radiographs, help our dentists see potential concerns that aren’t visible during a regular exam, such as areas below the gum line or between teeth.

They allow us to check for things like emerging teeth, the position of wisdom teeth, early cavities, and changes in bone levels that may occur after tooth loss or with advanced gum disease. X-rays can also help identify abscesses, cysts, or other dental issues that may need attention.

Yes we accept dental insurance. If you have a dental insurance plan, we will take care of all the paperwork so you are reimbursed for all benefits to which you are entitled.

We can electronically submit paperwork to your insurance company for you. We also send all treatment plans for pre-authorization to find out what your specific plan will cover.

Our preventive care recommendations are personalized based on your oral hygiene routine, current dental health, risk of cavities, and overall habits.

Patients with conditions such as gum disease, untreated cavities, frequent new cavities, or exposed roots may benefit from more frequent visits, typically every three to four months.

For those with generally healthy teeth and gums, a dental checkup every six months is usually recommended to help maintain long-term oral health.

Insurance policies vary in coverage. The '9-month rule' pertains to how often you can have a recall exam, polishing, and fluoride treatment. This does not mean that you won't be able to have your teeth cleaned. 

Cleaning refers to 'scraping', or scaling/root planing. This is the removal of the deposits and stains from your teeth to help prevent your gum tissues from becoming irritated and bleeding.
