• Sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry refers to medically induced relaxation techniques that can make dental work easier for patients who are anxious or nervous. Sedation may also be used for complex, lengthy, or invasive procedures.

Do children need to go to a pediatric dentist? 

There are pediatric dental practices dedicated to providing dental care to children only. But a family dentist can provide the same pediatric dental services without going to a different practice. The whole family can receive dental care at one convenient location. 

How often should my family go to the dentist? 

Dentists recommend scheduling routine dental cleanings and exams every 6 months. This is the ideal frequency for plaque removal and oral cancer screening. In most cases this allows plaque to be removed before it hardens into calculus and early detection of oral health concerns. 

Do you accept my dental insurance? 

We accept most major dental insurance plans and providers and we are in-network with some. Bring your insurance card with you to your appointment, especially if you are a new patient or your insurance has changed. We can determine whether or not we are in-network with your provider and how this will affect your out of pocket dental care costs. 

What if I don’t have dental insurance?

Don’t let a lack of dental insurance prevent you from getting the dental care you need. We provide financing through CareCredit to make dental care affordable for everyone.
