Dental Anxiety? 

Our goal is to help patients relax during their dental visit by discussing their fears in a non-clinical environment prior to any procedure. We set up a sedation consultation prior to any dental appointment regarding preventative or major procedures. Our friendly staff is also trained to administer the latest options in sedation dentistry, including:

  • Inhalation Sedation (Nitrous Oxide)

  • Oral Sedation 

 

*At this time, we do not offer IV sedation.

Interested in Scheduling with Us?

We typically set aside 90 minutes for a new, adult patient that the doctors have not seen before. We utilize this time to go over your dental history. In the 90-minute appointment, we are typically able to complete an exam, cleaning, and update any x-rays at this time. We always set aside this amount of time to ensure we are thorough. If the time allotted is not enough to complete everything, a second appointment may be needed.

  • If you have taken x-rays within the last 12 months, please request the previous dental office to forward them to our clinic.

American Dental Association Leads Fight for Patient Rights 

The American Dental Association has supported legislation that will set a few basic rules to promote high-quality care and protect patients in an increasingly bottom line-driven health care system.

ADA member dentists have been instrumental in moving the patients' rights issue into the national spotlight. The nation appears closer than ever to finally seeing a comprehensive patients' bill of rights passed into law.

While Congress debates various versions of patient rights legislation, the insurance and managed care industries have long supported legislation that would fail to protect all privately insured Americans against unfair delays and denials of coverage by their health plans, according to the ADA. Some ill-fated bills left out critical protections, such as guaranteeing people the option of choosing their own doctors or creating mechanisms to address patients' grievances against health plans. One proposal even omitted freestanding dental plans, which could have left more than 120 million dental patients without these vital protections.

The American Dental Association continues to lobby for the enactment of bipartisan legislation to help ensure that health plans treat patients fairly and do not discriminate against dentists. Here are some of the key issues identified by the ADA:

  • Coverage for freestanding dental plans, which account for the vast majority of Americans who have dental coverage.

  • Patient choice, by guaranteeing access to at least one plan with a point-of-service option that allows patients the opportunity to choose their own doctors.

  • Health plan accountability, through the availability of impartial, external review and by holding plans accountable when their decisions to delay or deny care harm patients.
