Are you accepting new patients?
Yes! We welcome new patients and offer comprehensive exams, digital X-rays, and a personalized treatment plan at your first visit.
What should I bring to my first appointment?Please bring a photo ID, insurance card (if applicable), a list of medications, and any recent dental X-rays. Arrive a few minutes early to complete forms, or submit them online beforehand.
Do you see dental emergencies?
Absolutely. If you’re in pain, have a broken/chipped tooth, a lost crown, or swelling, call us right away. We reserve time daily for urgent visits.
What if I haven’t seen a dentist in a while?
You’re not alone, and there’s no judgment here. We’ll start with a comfortable checkup, discuss your goals, and create a step-by-step plan that fits your timeline and budget.
Services & Clinical Care
Do you offer same-day crowns?
Yes. Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, we can design and place many crowns in a single visit—no messy impressions and, in most cases, no temporary crown.
Are veneers right for me?
Porcelain veneers can enhance the color, shape, and symmetry of your smile. They’re custom-crafted to look natural and protect underlying tooth structure. We’ll evaluate your enamel, bite, and goals to see if veneers or another option best fits your case.
Do you provide clear aligners?
Yes. Clear aligners correct crowding, spacing, and mild bite issues with discreet trays. Most patients change trays weekly and finish in months, not years, depending on complexity.
Do you offer teeth whitening?
We provide professional in-office and take-home whitening options. We’ll check your enamel and restorations first to recommend the safest, most effective approach.
Do you treat sleep apnea or snoring?
For appropriate cases, we fabricate custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw to keep your airway open. We collaborate with physicians and can review sleep study results if you have them.
Do you treat TMJ/TMD or jaw pain?
Yes. We evaluate your bite, muscles, and joint health, then discuss options such as appliance therapy, selective bite adjustments, and behavior modifications.
Will I need X-rays? Are they safe?
Digital radiographs help us diagnose decay, infections, and bone health that we can’t see visually. Radiation exposure is very low, and we follow strict ALARA safety protocols.
Do you offer sedation?
We provide options to help anxious patients relax. We’ll review your medical history and tailor the choice to your needs for a calmer, more comfortable visit.

What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to reschedule, please give us at least 48 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to another patient.
Preventive Care & Home Care
How often should I have a checkup and cleaning?
Most patients do best with visits every six months. If you’re managing gum disease, more frequent periodontal maintenance may be recommended.
What can I do to keep my gums healthy at home?
Brush twice daily with a soft brush, floss (or use interdental cleaners) once daily, and consider a fluoride toothpaste. We’ll personalize tips based on your exam.
