Insurance note

No dental insurance? Ask about Smile Club, our in-office membership plan.
quick prep
Before the appointment
For young or nervous kids:
Keep the explanation short and positive. Tell them the team will count teeth, take pictures if needed, and help keep their smile healthy.
For sedation consults:
Bring a full medical history, medications, allergies, and any specialist information. Sedation instructions are case-specific and will be reviewed directly with you.
For forms:
We still need Magnify/current form ownership confirmed before launch. Until then, call the office for the safest current paperwork path.
when in doubt, call
We would rather answer early.
If something feels off after a visit, or if you are not sure whether your child needs to be seen, call the office. For severe swelling, trouble breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a major injury, seek emergency care first.
