Dental Wellness Affordable Prices for Better Dentistry

The growing trend for dental practices is to raise their prices and cancel insurance participation.  This will only prevent people from receiving the needed treatment! We have constructed a way that everyone can have their dental needs taken care of:

·       Accept/Contract with most insurances

·       Membership plan available for uninsured

·       Evening hours available

We are doing all of the above because we realize that you want to take care of the things that really matter, in a welcoming and modern setting!
SO REMEMBER: the absence of pain is not an indication of the amount of treatment needed.  In other words by the time you are having pain in a tooth, you are going to have a large expense even with insurance help.  If you can't afford the treatment, the tooth could be lost! Waiting until you have a toothache is like throwing away your money! So take advantage of your insurance, because we are a contracted provider – and if we are not – we will sign up.  Or call us to sign up for our Dental Wellness Membership Plan. You are immediately eligible and we can get you scheduled at a convenient time that works for your busy schedule.

P.S.   … 

(If you have an estimate from your dentist, for treatment such as routine visits, fillings, extractions, implants or crowns then call us – we will match or beat it!  Give us a call for a no-charge evaluation!)

The Cracked Tooth

Have you ever felt a sharp pain when you bite down?  Does the pain disappear, only to return again?  You might have a creaked tooth.  A crack is a defect in the tooth structure that occurs because of diet, trauma, temperature extremes or just aging.  If you like to chew ice, nuts, hard candy, hard pretzels or unpopped popcorn kernels ---- or if you have a habit of chewing on hard objects like pencils, you are at risk of cracking your teeth.  Heat, which causes the tooth to dry out, can also increase the chance of cracks occurring.

People who grind their teeth or clench their jaws are more susceptible to cracks because of the tremendous pressure exerted on the teeth.  The fact that people live longer today increases the likelihood that they will eventually develop cracks in their teeth.

Any pain, even if it is fleeting, or sensitivity to cold, heat or sweetness should be brought to our attention to determine whether you have a cracked tooth.  The sooner the crack is discovered, the better the chance for successful treatments.
