Your first visit will typically be for an initial examination which will include an oral cancer screening, a restorative exam to check for decay, missing teeth and defective restorations, and a periodontal exam to check the condition of the supporting bone and gums.
If you have a dental emergency during a weekday, we will make every effort to see you that day with minimal impact on our scheduled patients to alleviate your discomfort. In most cases, you will be reappointed for more definitive treatment.
In most cases, we will process your insurance and as a courtesy we will file claims and handle insurance questions on your behalf. Also, we will attempt to plan your treatment in a manner that will take the most advantage of your coverage. Insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company while our sole responsibility is to provide you with professional care. We will not become involved in disputes between you and your insurance company regarding deductibles, co-payments, covered charges, secondary insurance, and usual & customary charges.
