Oral Hygiene Aids

Regular dental check ups are essential for maintaining excellent oral hygiene and diagnosing potential problems, but they are not a “fix-all” solution. Thorough oral homecare routines should be practiced on a daily basis to avoid future dental problems.

Pediatric dentistry

Pediatric dentists fulfill many important functions pertaining to the child’s overall oral health and hygiene. They place particular emphasis on the proper maintenance and care of deciduous (baby) teeth, which are instrumental in facilitating good chewing habits, proper speech production, and also hold space for permanent teeth.

Periodontics

Periodontal disease is a progressive condition which begins with mild gum inflammation called gingivitis. It is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults living in the developed world, and should be taken very seriously.

Surgical Instructions

While a tooth extraction can be a serious dental procedure, aftercare is just as critical as the procedure itself. As the dental patient, it is important to understand that pain and the risk of infection can be lessened with proper care.

If you have dental insurance, as a service to you, we will complete your insurance form with all the necessary information and submit it to the insurance company. We ask that you pay the estimated co-payment at the time services are rendered. If you fail to bring the required insurance information to your appointments, we will ask that you pay the bill in full and be reimbursed from your insurance company with paperwork provided by our office. Our office does not guarantee that your insurance company will pay for the treatment you receive from our practice.

If your claim is denied, the treatment is down coded and/or alternative benefits given, you will be responsible for paying the full balance amount left on the account at that time. Our office will not enter into a dispute with your insurance company over any claim, although we will provide the necessary documentation your insurance company requests to settle the claim. (Insurance coverage is a contractual agreement between the insurance company, you and your employer. We have no control over this relationship.
