What we treat

Everything a family dentist does, under one roof.

Every treatment has its own page: what it is, what happens at the visit, how long it takes and what it typically costs.

Your first visit

About 75 minutes, and no surprises.

  1. A few questions

    Your health history, your medicines, and anything that worries you about dental visits.

  2. X-rays and photos

    Low-dose digital X-rays and close-up photos, shown to you on the screen.

  3. Cleaning

    A hygienist cleans and polishes your teeth. Raise your hand at any point and we stop.

  4. Exam and plan

    A dentist checks everything and tells you plainly what’s healthy, what to watch and what needs work, with costs in writing.

Our dentists

Three dentists who share one chart: yours.

You can see the same dentist every time, and if your dentist is away, the others already know your history.

If you’re nervous

Most of our patients are, a little. Here’s how we work.

Being anxious about the dentist is normal, and it’s not something you need to explain. Tell us when you book and we plan around it.

  • We agree a stop signal before we start. Raise your left hand and we stop, every time.
  • Numbing gel goes on before every injection, so you feel a pinch rather than a sting.
  • We tell you what’s coming before each step, and what it will feel like.
  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available if it helps you relax.
  • Noise-cancelling headphones are in every treatment room.
  • Nothing beyond your booked visit happens without your yes.

Insurance

We file your claims for you.

We work with most PPO dental plans, file every claim for you, and check your benefits before your first visit, so you know your share before you sit down.

HMO and Medicaid plans: please call and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Paying without insurance

Know the number before you decide.

Every treatment page shows a typical cost range. After your exam you get a written, itemised estimate. For larger treatment, you can spread the cost over monthly payments. HSA and FSA cards are welcome.
