My first visit

Our dental hygienist or assistant takes a CBCT and X-rays of our patients’ mouth. We realize there is radiation and I have explained what we do to try to mitigate that in our office.  If you search through our previous posts, you will see why it’s important to take the diagnostic X-rays. At that appointment, they also take full mouth photographs, and chart the existing restorations in the mouth.

If the dental hygienist is doing the records appointment, she is also doing full mouth probing and a review of the health history to determine if we also need to recommend a sleep study to screen for sleep disordered breathing.

Financing & Insurance

Our office has chosen to be out of network for insurance purposes. What that means is that our patients pay us, and we file insurance claims as a courtesy to them, and the insurance company pays our patient. This takes us out of that hamster wheel and allows us to focus on true relationship building and caring for our patients.

We do understand that biological dentistry can often be a significant financial commitment. To that end, we have partnered with Care Credit, Cherry and iCreditWorks to help our patients finance their dental care needs.

Patient Health History & Update Form

Please download, print, and complete the Patient Health History and Update Form before your appointment. Once filled out, scan and email the form back to our office. This helps us prepare for your visit and ensure the highest quality of care.
