What is Gentle Dentistry?
Gentle dentistry is the art of performing dental-related procedures – from routine cleanings to extractions and cosmetic dentistry, without causing the patient discomfort and anxiety. We are caring and understanding of your dental issues and the pain you may be experiencing and help you relax with stress-relieving techniques and dental sedation as needed. Your experience will be calming and you’ll see for yourself that we can alleviate your pain comfortably.
Our Dental Appointment Process
When you visit our clean, welcoming dental office, you’ll be greeted warmly by our friendly professionals who get to know you, understand your dental needs, and genuinely care that you’re with us. Once you’re escorted to the exam room, your visit will be carried out like this:
- First, we carefully examine your entire mouth to decide which steps should be taken to give you healthy teeth and gums.
- Then, we thoroughly explain each procedure recommended and what to expect.
- Next, we take steps to eliminate any physical or emotional discomfort that may arise from the procedures, as well as from the environment. This may include dental sedation.
- Finally, using decades of dental care experience and the latest tools and technology, we apply the exact amount of effort required to get the job done with ease and comfort. Our goal is to see that you’re pain-free as soon as possible.
Insurance & Financing
We know dental work can be stressful and hard on your budget. In fact, many of you who come to see us have waited too long to fix your dental issues because you were afraid you couldn’t manage it financially. We get that and want to be there for you to make your dental needs easier to afford; we will work hard to help you take care of the charges.
We accept most dental insurance plans including Metlife, Aetna, Delta Dental, and Cigna. We also offer a range of financing, often with 0% interest for up to a year so you don’t have to worry about your dental bill – you can focus on getting your teeth healthy and your smile sparkling!
