Three quick questions, one warm welcome.

Question 1 of 3

What brings you in?

01 — What to expect

Four small things we always do.

Warm welcome

We learn about you before we look in your mouth.

Gentle exam

A relaxed, thorough exam with digital x-rays only when needed.

About an hour

Most first visits run 45–60 minutes, including cleaning when scheduled.

Honest plan

Clear options, clear costs, no pressure to decide on the spot.

02 — From request to first visit

Four steps, no friction.

  1. 01

    Call or request online

    Tell us a bit about you and what kind of visit you'd like. Same-week openings are common.

  2. 02

    Quick intake

    We email a short health-history form so the visit starts on time.

  3. 03

    First visit

    Exam, cleaning if scheduled, and a calm chat about anything you'd like to address.

  4. 04

    Easy follow-up

    If treatment is recommended, we schedule it at a time and pace that works for you.

Insurance

Most plans welcome.

We accept and file most major dental insurance plans for you. If you're not sure whether your plan is in-network, give us a call — we'll check it together before you commit to anything.

Financing

Pay in a way that works for you.

For larger treatment plans, third-party financing — including 0% options for qualifying patients — keeps the monthly cost manageable. We'll walk through the numbers before any commitment.

03 — What to bring

A short, friendly checklist.

  • Photo ID
  • Insurance card (if you have one)
  • List of any medications
  • A note about anything that makes you nervous — we want to know
When you're ready
