We accept all forms of payment such as cash, credit, debit, and cheque. In addition, we bill directly through insurance with your benefit plans.

Every dental insurance plan varies in coverage, so it's best to check directly with your insurance provider or our office staff to determine the services your insurance will provide. We can help you understand your benefits and provide estimates for any out-of-pocket costs. We can directly send out a pre-dermination to assist you in receiving a specific estimate.

On average, it is recommended to have a dental hygiene cleaning at least twice a year. However, this frequency may vary depending on your specific oral health needs and conditions. It is quite common that we see our patients every 3-4 months. The best way to determine your personal care would be to discuss your needs with our professional team and receive their expertise to create your individualized treatment plan.

Brushing and flossing your teeth daily is crucial for maintaining good oral health. Here's why:

1. Prevents Plaque Build-Up: Brushing and flossing help remove plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If left untreated, it can become calcified, leading to tooth decay and gum disease.

2. Prevents Cavities: Regular brushing and flossing removes food particles and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth, reducing the risk of cavities.

3. Prevents Gum Disease: Gum disease, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, which can result from poor oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing help prevent the accumulation of plaque and bacteria along the gum line, reducing the likelihood of gum disease.

By making brushing and flossing a daily habit, you can maintain a healthy smile and prevent dental problems in the future.

No, dental radiographs are not necessary during every visit. The frequency of radiographs depends on your individual dental health needs. Typically, radiographs are recommended at intervals determined by your dentist based on factors such as your age, risk of dental disease, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Your dentist will consider these factors to determine when radiographs are needed to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.

It's recommended to schedule your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early dental visits help establish a good oral care routine and allow the dentist to monitor your child's dental development, provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, and detect any potential issues early on. After the first visit, regular dental check-ups every six months are typically recommended, but the dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your child's individual needs.

At your first dental visit:

• The dentist will review your medical history.

• They will examine your teeth, gums, and conduct an external/internal oral examination.

• Radiographs will be taken if needed.

• The dentist will discuss their findings and any concerns with you.

You'll receive recommendations for future scheduled appointments for treatments or preventive care.

We offer several of services such as hygiene services, restorations/extractions, root canals, and bridges/crowns. However, if we determine that you have an existing condition that is outside of our expertise to treat within our office, we collaborate with various dental experts within our region that we would be more than happy to refer you to. These include orthodontists, periodontists, dental surgeons, and more. We would let you know whether an appointment with another dental expert is needed, and our front desk will contact the alternate offices to help you with your referral.
