Frequently Asked Questions

How do I schedule an appointment for my child as a new patient?

We welcome new patients and make scheduling simple! As a new patient, we’ll need some basic information about your child and their dental history. Our team will also verify your insurance coverage and explain what to expect during your child’s first visit. You can call us directly or visit our website to request an appointment. We recommend scheduling routine cleanings and exams 6 months in advance, though we accommodate urgent needs.

Treatment costs vary based on your child’s specific needs and your insurance coverage. We accept most major insurance plans, including Aetna, United, Cigna, Delta Dental, and MetLife. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing before any procedures begin. For families without insurance, we offer flexible payment options and can discuss affordable care plans that work within your budget..

Absolutely! We understand that schedules change, especially with children. Please contact our office as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment. We recommend providing at least 24 hours’ notice when possible so we can offer your time slot to another family. Our staff will work with you to find a new appointment time that fits your schedule, and we’ll send you a confirmation once the change is made.

For dental emergencies during business hours, call our office immediately, and we’ll work to see your child the same day. Common pediatric dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, or facial swelling. For after-hours emergencies, we provide guidance on immediate care steps you can take at home and will connect you with emergency resources if needed. Keep our contact information handy and don’t hesitate to reach out when your child needs urgent dental care.

Your child’s first visit includes a comprehensive oral examination where we check their teeth, gums, and oral development. We may recommend X-rays depending on your child’s age and dental needs – these help us see areas that aren’t visible during the visual exam and are completely safe with modern digital equipment. The visit also includes a gentle cleaning if appropriate for your child’s age, fluoride treatment for cavity prevention, and education about proper brushing and flossing techniques. We make every effort to ensure your child feels comfortable and safe throughout their appointment.
