New Patients: What to Expect
Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last visit, we’ll make your first appointment easy. Here’s how it works, from booking to your personalized care plan.
Your first visit, step by step
- 1
Book online or call
Pick a time that works for you online, or call our team. If you have dental insurance, we’ll check your benefits before your visit so there are no surprises.

Come prepared
Bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card (if you have one) and a list of any medications you take.

Your personalized plan
Your dentist walks you through what we found, using your scan and photos, and answers your questions. We recommend only what you need, explain your options and costs, and never pressure you.

In pain right now?
Dental Emergencies
Toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling or a lost crown? Call us right away for an emergency consultation. We’ll see you as soon as possible, and same-day treatment is often available. New patients are welcome.
Insurance & payment
Insurance
We’re in-network with Sun Life, Cigna, MetLife, Humana and Dental Health Alliance (DHA), and we accept most other PPO plans. We handle the paperwork for you.
Have Delta Dental PPO? You can still see us. We’ll check your out-of-network benefits and file the claim for you.
No insurance?
Our in-office membership plan covers your preventive care for one simple yearly fee, with savings on treatment.
Flexible payment
We accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, Zelle and FSA/HSA, plus financing through CareCredit and Sunbit. See all financial options.
