New Patient Information

Starting Off Right

Determining your needs is the most important part of your treatment program.  We will thoroughly examine your mouth, both visually and with X-rays, so that we can intelligently discuss your options with you and arrive at the best plan for your treatment.  This is normally done at the first visit.

The biggest threat to adult dental health is gum disease.  We will carefully analyze this disease activity in your mouth and make appropriate treatment recommendations.

Before any treatment is done we will explain what needs to be done, showing you the x-rays, etc. if you would like, and the fees involved.  We want you to be fully informed at all times, and we are happy to answer your questions.

Appointment Policy

Patients are normally seen by appointment.  Your treatment visits will be scheduled at a day and time convenient for you.  Time reserved for you represents a bond of trust that you will be present for treatment and we will be ready to take care of you at the appointed time.  If you cannot keep a future appointment, please give us as much advance notice as possible.  This courtesy on your part allows us to offer that time to another patient.  Broken appointments are an expensive waste of our time and a lost opportunity for other who need care.

Emergency Treatment

We are available to you should an emergency arise.  The office phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  If you call during a normal working day, we will strive to see you that same day.  When the doctor is out of town, our emergencies will be handled by another local dentist.  Cash or credit card payment is required if your first visit with us is an emergency.

Communication is the Key

It’s been said that you can’t please everybody.  Maybe it’s true, but we are determined to try our best to satisfy your expectations with honesty and fairness.  We stand behind our work 100%.  If there is anything about your experience here that isn’t satisfactory, please let us know immediately.
