We are here to facilitate any need or want in your mouth, rather than lecture you and tell you what you should be doing, in a down-home comfortable atmosphere. For example, if you have a broken tooth you will be given all of the options that you have which may include a filling, crown, extraction, or to do nothing at all. Because it is your mouth and you should have the final decision for what is best for you and your budget.
Our saying is “We Cater To Cowards” because we truly do. Many people have had a very bad experience at a dental office. We are here to help you overcome that fear, whether it be by taking our time and talking through things or using drugs like laughing gas or a sedative. We will do what it takes to make you comfortable. Give us a call and let us get to know you and your family. You won’t be disappointed.

Your first visit will depend on what your needs are. If you are having a problem that needs immediate attention, you will get an appointment with the doctor to address that need. If you need a new dentist for all your general needs you will get an appointment with the hygienist for a new patient appointment. That appointment is approximately an hour and a half. At that appointment, you will have any x-rays taken that are needed and all the data gathered to evaluate your oral health and a complete oral exam including an oral cancer screening. A majority of the time you will get your teeth cleaned at that appointment. In some specialized cases that are very complex, like a new smile makeover or active gum disease, you may be given another appointment with the appropriate provider to go over options or gum treatment.
