Infection control is imperative in our dental office. To protect both our patients and ourselves, we strictly employ and maintain sterilization processes recommended as standard by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the American Dental Association (ADA).
We accept cash, check, and any major credit card companies. If you have dental insurance, an estimate for treatment will be given before any procedure is performed. Payment options such as CareCredit are also available for patients who may want or need an alternative source of financing.
Prevention and Maintenance are important teaching tools we use to educate our patients. We believe it is very important for our patients to know how essential it is to maintain a healthy mouth, and we work very hard to help provide the knowledge and tools to help them do so.
