Common concerns.

Will it hurt?

You’re numb before anything starts, and we check twice. Nitrous is available for any visit; just say so when you book.

What is this going to cost me?

You’ll see the number before we begin. We accept most PPO plans and select Medicare plans (no HMO or Medicaid), and we offer monthly payment plans.

It’s been years since my last visit.

No judgment. We’ll do an exam and start from wherever you are.

How many visits does a crown take?

Usually two, about two weeks apart. We prep the tooth and fit a temporary at the first visit, then seat your custom crown at the second.

How long will I be numb afterward?

Two to four hours for most visits. Plan a soft lunch; dinner is usually back to normal.

What if I just want to talk first?

That’s what the free thirty-minute consultation is for: questions and options, with no treatment that day.
