Our usual office hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Because we are committed to helping others we will make every effort to see patients with true dental emergencies on the same day they call.

Occasionally it is necessary for the office to be closed during usual office hours.  The reason for doing so always falls into one of two categories:

       1. Continuing Dental Education

            Because we are so committed to providing the highest quality of care currently available, we actively involve ourselves in learning new skills, methods and technologies.

       2. Vacation

            Needed rest and relaxation allows all of us to spend time with family and friends and to pursue other activities and interests.  This renewal activity energizes us and facilitates renewed enthusiasm for what we do.

Fees

The fee for your endodontic treatment will be based on several factors including the location of the tooth or teeth and the extent of treatment required. When you make an appointment, will will discuss mutual expectations and provide you with an approximate range of fees. During your first visit we will discuss your specific treatment needs, the probable number of visits, their length, and the fees involved. As with other personal service, unless prior arrangements are made, we expect payment at the time of our service to you. 

We accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.  We also offer Care Credit, a financing option.

Dental Benefits:

As an optimal-care dental practice, we strongly believe that our patients deserve the best possible treatment we can provide.  If you have dental "insurance" benefits we want you to know we will do everything possible to insure that you receive every benefit to which you are entitled.  Please understand that your dental benefit is based on a contract between your employer and the insurance company. Should questions arise regarding your dental insurance benefits, it is best for you to contact your employer or the insurance company directly. 

Dental benefits differ greatly from traditional medical health insurance benefits and can vary greatly from plan to plan.  Dental insurance is rarely a pay all benefit, it is simply an aid. Many plans indicate that participants with be covered "up to 80% or up to 100%" but do not clearly specify plan allowances, fee schedules, annual maximums or limitations.  Remember, the amount a plan pays is determined by how much your employer paid for the plan.  You receive only what your employer (and you) put in, less the profits of the insurance company.  Finally, insurance companies do not cover many routine dental services.  This does not mean that the are not necessary or appropriate, they are simply not covered.

The treatment we recommend will be based on your individual need, not your insurance coverage.The decision about what treatment we provide will be made by you.  Based on your decision, we will discuss the fees for your treatment and what assistance you may expect from your dental benefits provider. All financial arrangements are between you and our office. 
Even though we will assist you in filing claims for benefits, the responsibility for payment of services rendered will always remain yours.
