What to Expect
When you come in for your appointment you will be greeted by our professional and courteous Business Assistants at the front desk. They will go over your intake paperwork such as medical history, dental history, financial and privacy agreements and answer any questions you may have in the process. Once you are done one of our Certified Dental Assistants will guide you to your next step which may be X-rays or to one of our Comfortable Operatory Rooms.
X-rays are needed to allow the dentist to see an overview of your mouth. The x-rays will help to identify any potential areas of concern and help create a plan for care. Upon completion, the information gathered will assist our dentists in choosing the safest and most effective treatment for you. Once your records have been assessed, your follow-up treatment and costs will be discussed with you in detail.
A regular checkup usually lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, however, feel free to ask any questions during this time. When your oral examination is completed by our dentists, a proposed treatment plan will be presented to you with different treatment options (when needed) by one of our Business Assistants. All prices will be discussed and disclosed prior to any scheduled treatment, payment options and insurance breakdowns will also be discussed.

Insurance Breakdowns
As a courtesy to you, our Business Assistants will have a breakdown of your insurance plan (when available by your carrier) at the time you come in to the office. Each breakdown will have detailed covered services and services that are not going to be covered or need further approval from your carrier.
Insurance terminology:
Co-Pay - A co-Pay is the shared amount you have with your carrier. The carrier will cover a certain percentage and you are responsible for the remainder. This figure varies by individual plans.
Deductible - A deductible is an amount you are responsible to pay at the beginning of you insurance period. This is determined by your plan carrier and is paid usually once per year.
Patient Responsibility - Patient Responsibility is the amount your insurance did not cover after benefits where applied to your claim or when your procedure is not covered by your carrier. (You are notified in advanced of any non-covered services, however every plan is unique some procedures may not be covered after billing the insurance, however this is a rare instance)
