Our regular office hours are Monday through Thursday, and we do not routinely offer evening or weekend appointments. However, we understand that life gets busy—so in special circumstances, we may be able to accommodate requests outside of our normal hours. Please don’t hesitate to ask!

Absolutely. Please let us know ahead of time if there are any special arrangements you or a loved one require. We're happy to accommodate you in any way we can.

We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Appointments changed with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. That said, we understand that life happens—illness and unexpected situations come up—and we’re always happy to work with you when possible.

You'll need to bring in the following:

• Your completed new patient forms (download here)
• A photo ID
• Your insurance card
• Any dental x-rays taken in the past six months
• A list of current medications and medical conditions

We're excited that you've chosen us to care for your smile. We will never judge you. Instead, we'll address any oral health problems, explain your treatment options, and create a plan of action to address your unique needs.

We're happy to welcome you to our practice. We'll start by taking a complete medical and dental history and will ask you about any current concerns. Our team will take full-mouth x-rays to identify any dental problems and to create a baseline for future dental visits. We will evaluate the health of your teeth and existing dental work to ensure they are free of damage and assess the health of your gums. We'll also perform a head and neck exam, including an evaluation of your salivary glands and lymph nodes, and will conduct an oral cancer screening to rule out potential abnormalities. 

You will likely receive care from our dental hygienist, who will remove plaque and tartar buildup from your tooth surfaces and along your gum line. We’ll also polish your teeth and floss between them to remove any remaining plaque and debris. We may recommend a fluoride treatment to lower your risk of future tooth decay. 

At the conclusion of your appointment, we will discuss any current needs and preventive measures required to keep your smile in tip-top shape. We will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan for long-term oral health.  

According to the American Dental Association, you should schedule dental visits at intervals determined by your dentist. In general, patients require twice-yearly exams and cleanings. However, some patients with gum disease or those at a higher risk of developing dental problems will require more frequent appointments. Our team will evaluate your unique needs and recommend the ideal frequency of visits to maintain your healthy smile.
