We use superior materials for restorations, the latest methods for maintaining gums, and modern equipment to deliver these treatments to our patients. By doing all this, we make dentistry less expensive for our patients!

How can more expensive treatment be less expensive?  In the long run, our patients will need to replace their restorations less often.  That means less time in the dental chair and less money out of their pockets! 

Most dental disease is preventable, and we can show you how. With your commitment to our hygiene program, we can save you and your family from recurring dental problems and expenses.

• A Note About Dental Insurance:

Dental insurance is not true "insurance".  It is very different from medical insurance.  First of all, higher cost procedures get less coverage, not more.  Second, since there are so many options in dental care, most insurance pays an "alternative benefit", which means that it will only cover the least expensive option.  

Most insurance plans only provide up to $1000.00 of coverage per calendar year.  This amount hasn't changed since the 1960's!  If you have been ignoring your teeth for years, think of your "insurance" as a thousand dollars towards your treatment needs. 

If you have a dental HMO, we do not accept them.  Why?  They require a ridiculous amount of administration work.  They also provide very poor benefits.  This makes it impossible for us to place the best restorations possible.  It also forces us to spend as little time with these patients as possible.  This is not how we choose to practice dentistry.  If you have an HMO, contact your benefits administrator and switch to a PPO or traditional indemnity insurance, if possible.  A better insurance plan may only be a few dollars more a month.

If you have a dental PPO, you can see any dentist you want.  If your dentist participates in your "plan", then your co-pays will be lower.  If not, your co-pays will be somewhat higher (usually just a few dollars).  If you have a healthy mouth, the amount of your increased co-pays will be less then $50 for a year's worth of preventative care.  If you have a mouth that requires full reconstruction, you'll probably use up all of your benefits anyway.  In conclusion, don't let a PPO (which your employer choose to keep their costs down) dictate who will provide you with the best dental care available.  While we do participate in some PPO's, most have reimbursement levels so low that it would force us to use lower quality materials and procedures.  We will never do that.
