We understand that payment plans make it easier to afford dental care when you need it. We will be happy to break up your out-of-pocket expenses into three monthly payments.

We also accept Care Credit, which works like a healthcare credit card specifically designed to cover healthcare investments.

We want to get to know you during your visit to our office. Your first visit will include a personalized consultation with the dentist, during which we will thoroughly discuss your dental history, your goals for your smile, and any specific concerns you may have. We will also take any necessary digital x-rays and images, examine your teeth and share our findings with you. To help us start your first visit on-time, you can complete your registration forms online via our secure patient portal.

Children, teens, and adults should all see the dentist for a regular checkup at least once every six months. A dental exam can reveal early signs of decay or disease that you cannot see or feel. Catching these problems earlier will make treating them easier and less expensive. Patients who are at a greater risk for oral cancer or gum disease may be required to see the dentist more than just twice a year. Your doctor will help determine how often you should visit the dentist for regular checkups.

Yes. Your braces make you more vulnerable to the accumulation of plaque on your teeth and around your braces, so visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings is more important than ever. With braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush can’t reach. This causes bacteria to build up and can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children first see a dentist as early as six months of age and no later than one year of age. During this time, your child’s baby teeth will be coming in, and your dentist can examine the health of your child’s first few teeth. After the first visit, be sure to schedule regular checkups every six months.

Soda and other soft drinks, including juice, energy drinks, performance drinks, and other popular beverages are bad for your dental health because they are high in both sugar and acidity. Frequent exposure to either sugar or acidity is not healthy but, together, they can be very destructive to your teeth. The bacteria in your mouth feed on the sugar you consume to produce acid. Too much acid in your mouth will weaken your enamel, eventually causing tooth decay and other dental problems. Short of stopping all soft drink consumption, we recommend drinking soft drinks with a meal and rinsing the mouth with water after enjoying a sugary or an acidic drink.

A lost tooth is much more than a gap in your smile. Missing teeth can cause serious health consequences and negatively affect the quality of life. When a tooth is lost either due to an accidental trauma, tooth decay, or gum disease, the bone under the lost tooth begins to atrophy. As the bone weakens and reduces in density, the surrounding teeth start to drift into the empty space and collapse. This shift causes the bite to become misaligned and makes the remaining teeth more vulnerable to tooth decay. Over time, these changes can affect your ability to chew and absorb proper nutrients from the food. They can also change your appearance making your face look “sunken-in” and older. The longer you wait to replace a missing tooth, the more bone will be lost. And the more bone is lost, the more difficult and expensive it will be to replace it. The best way to replace a missing tooth or teeth is with dental implants. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth and, with proper oral hygiene, they can last a lifetime!
