The moment you book your appointment, our friendly and courteous staff prepares to provide you with a thorough assessment of your dental and oral health needs. We understand and respect the value of your time and strive to ensure punctuality. Your appointments and financial needs will be taken care of in the most efficient and effective way possible. Our dental staff will submit your dental insurance claims electronically and accept assignment for your convenience from the insurance carrier if permitted.

We begin by taking accurate and thorough medical and dental histories. Any dental concerns you may have will also be discussed at this time. Appropriate digital
dental xrays and photographs in conjunction with a detailed clinical analysis will then be performed. With this information, we will review our findings with you and explain and discuss our treatment recommendations. Our goal is to arrive at an effective treatment plan that will optimize your oral health and well being. If the treatment plan is not complex, requiring more time for discussion and clarification, our hygienist will often have sufficient time to start and often complete dental cleaning and prophylaxis as required.

Scientific research continues to support the direct relationship between gum disease and serious systemic disease. The most effective method of maintaining your oral health is daily oral hygiene that includes brushing, flossing and tongue scraping, as well as regularly scheduled cleanings and examinations by our hygienists and Dr. Smith & Associates. We will try to determine for you, the interval of time between cleanings that best suits your personal oral health needs. Book your appointment today for yourdetailed oral and dental assessment.
