We are committed to providing the best possible care at an affordable fee. This section provides details on our payment options, insurance policies, and how we can work together to optimize you benefit coverage.
NON-INSURANCE
Patients are expected to pay at the time of service. A 10% courtesy is given for all treatment over $500 that is paid in full with cash or check at the time of service. This offer is valid for patients who do not have coverage through a contracted dental benefit plan. We also offer a 10% senior discount with cash or check.
INSURANCE

MAJOR PROCEDURES
For any procedures (i.e. crowns, bridges, implant crowns and dentures) that require multiple appointments and/or significant laboratory work, we offer the option of paying a 50% deposit for the patient's portion when treatment is initiated with payment of the remaining balance due upon completion of treatment.
PAYMENT PLANS
Upon application approval, we offer an interest-free, no deposit, and no annual fee payment plan option with CareCredit . The patient is responsible for making the minimum monthly payments and paying the balance in full by the indicated date to avoid the contracted finance charges.

A Positive Experience
Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success.
We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
Uncompromising Safety
Infection control in our office is also very important to us so we can protect our patients and ourselves.
We strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Training & Expertise
As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians.
We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy. To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning. We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care. Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.
Education & Prevention
As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health.
We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
