Common Questions
Quick answers from our dental health library.
How does sedation dentistry work?
You take a small pill before your visit and snooze comfortably through treatment — little or no memory of the appointment, and years of care finished in one or two visits. Read how it works.
When should my child first see a dentist?
“First visit by first birthday.” Your child should visit when the first tooth appears, usually between six and twelve months of age. Learn more.
Can my dark, stained teeth be whitened safely?
Yes. Custom trays with a professional bleaching gel safely lighten stains from coffee, tobacco, medication or aging. See whitening options.
Do you accept dental insurance?
We accept most dental insurance programs used by major employers in our area and help you maximize your benefits. See financing options.
