We offer same day repair service for most dental laboratory emergencies. We steam sterilize and follow the OSHA guidelines. X-Ray policy So that we might make an accurate and complete diagnosis of your dental condition, (especially those dangerous conditions hidden from view) a panoramic or full mouth set of X-rays is necessary every 3 years. Bitewing (cavity detecting) X-rays are taken once a year. We are concerned about unnecessary radiation, therefore, please request all past and current X-rays from your previous dentist. Preventative (Recall) Appointments) The traditional recall (cleaning) interval has been 6 months. This is average for patients with no special needs. An interval will be selected to best fit your needs. We strongly urge you to keep these appointments. It is through this preventative approach that we can today avoid so much dental disease and unnecessary expense. Appointments-Emergency Coverage Our appointment hours begin at 8:00 AM, and last appointment is taken at 4:30 PM. Monday through Friday, although some evening appointments can be scheduled to accommodate certain needs. As a courtesy to our patients an attempt will be made to confirm our appointments 24 hours in advance. For your convenience - Saturday appointments are available. Cancellations Policy We do our best to schedule carefully and to stay on time. We request that you help us by providing at least 24 hours notice if you must cancel an appointment. A charge is normally made for broken appointments without twenty four hour notice. Insurance We accept most major insurance plans and will assist you in obtaining the maximum benefits your plan provides. Help us to help you by bringing a copy of your insurance booklet to your first visit, so that we may better understand your coverage. Please bring a completed insurance form to your initial visit so we can file your claims for you. Payment Payment should be made at the time of service. Cash, check, VISA, Master-Card, and Discover are all accepted. Those with insurance should pay the "patient co-payment" and any deductibles at the time of service. Please remember that your insurance is a contract between you and your carrier. You are ultimately responsible for any fees not paid by your insurance. Credit We are more than willing to discuss credit, but your payment arrangements should be clearly defined with our receptionist before treatment commences. We offer discount and payment arrangements for the larger, more comprehensive cases - please inquire. "THIS ONE's ON THE HOUSE" We are extremely proud of the way we treat our patients and they seem to feel the same way about us.
