Most asked questions
Here are answers to some of the most frequent questions we receive from patients like you.
Are you accepting new patients, and do I need a referral to schedule a consultation?
Yes, we are currently welcoming new patients! While many patients are referred by their general dentists, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with us. You can contact us directly to book your initial consultation.
What is laser gum treatment, and how does it compare to traditional gum surgery?
Laser gum treatment is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. It uses focused light energy to target and remove diseased tissue with precision, while promoting faster healing and less discomfort. Compared to traditional methods, laser therapy often results in less bleeding, reduced swelling, minimal sutures, and quicker recovery times. It’s an excellent option for treating gum disease and performing procedures with greater comfort and accuracy.
What brand of dental implants do you use?
Over the years, we have worked with different implant systems, but today our practice exclusively uses Straumann® implants. Straumann is a global leader in implant technology, known for exceptional quality, durability, and long-term success. We choose Straumann because it gives our patients the most reliable and predictable results for their smile restoration.
How long does it take to get dental implants?
The timeline can vary based on your specific case. Some patients may be candidates for same-day implants, while others may require several months for healing, especially if bone grafting is needed. We’ll explain the full process during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you take dental insurance or offer financing options?
Yes. We work with most major PPO insurance plans and also offer flexible financing options for treatments not covered by insurance. Our team is happy to help you understand your benefits and make advanced care affordable.
