SERVICES AND PAYMENT OPTIONS OUR SERVICES We believe in the importance of regular preventive dental care. As a service to our patients, we have developed a customized continuous care program suited to each individual's needs. This program of regular maintenance includes visits with our hygienist and check-ups by the doctor. In addition to regular maintenance we also offer: Tooth-colored Fillings-The new tooth colored restorations have a strength and durability comparable to that of silver fillings and they look much more natural. Crowns and Bridges-Crowns are needed when a tooth is cracked, decayed, or damaged to a point where the remaining tooth structure is weakened and will continue to breakdown. The crown or cap goes over the prepared tooth and strengthens it. Tooth Whitening-Cosmetic teeth whitening is a safe, easy and effective way to whiten and brighten your smile. Regardless of how well you care for your teeth, it is inevitable that over time some yellowing or discoloration will occur. This gradual change can be caused by aging, food and drinks that we consume (such as coffee, tea, wine), or smoking to name a few. STERILIZATION Because of our concerns for our patients and others, we provide you with a sterile environment. We meet all ADA and OSHA recommended sterilization requirements. This is our standard policy for your total health care. Our office will continue to use any advances that will help maintain a safe office environment. FINANCIAL INFORMATION We appreciate payment at the time services are rendered. We also believe that financial concerns should not stand in the way of appropriate dental care. For your convenience, we accept American Express, CareCredit, Discover, MasterCard and VISA in addition to personal checks and cash. As a service to our patients, we are pleased to offer the CareCredit card, the nation's leading patient payment plan. With CareCredit you can finance 100% of your treatment and there are no upfront costs, no annual fees, and no pre-payment penalties. So, you can begin treatment today and conveniently pay with low, monthly payments. CareCredit offers several payment plans so you can find one that fits comfortably in your monthly budget. With the popular No Interest Payment Plans* there are no interest charges if you pay your balance in full within the specified time period. Monthly payments can be as low as 3% of your balance. For treatment plans from $1,500 to $25,000, the Extended Payment Plans offer one of the lowest monthly payments available. These plans are recommended for patients who would prefer more time to pay for cosmetic dentistry. The CareCredit card can be used by the whole family for ongoing treatment without having to reapply. And by using CareCredit for your dental health, you can save your other credit cards for household or unplanned expenses.
