Your first examination appointment will be very easy and simple.  There is no treatment done that day (unless requested and appropriate).  If the thought of an exam on the first day is terrifying, realize you are one of many who feel the same.  In these cases the first day will simply consist of a conversation about your dental needs, medical history, and the option of receiving the exam under sedation.  

The exam consists of a discussion of your medical and dental histories, radiographic (X-ray) examination of the teeth and bone, identification of your main concerns, and a clinical examination of soft (cheek, lip, tongue) and hard (teeth) tissues

The exam will determine whether your dental needs are simple or more complex.  If simple, your options will be presented that day and a cleaning can be scheduled.  If complex, Dr. Paul will gather the pertinent data and have you return for a consultation.  This will allow adequate time to present you with your options and develop a thorough plan to regain your dental health.

Emergencies are Welcome

Sometimes life does not go as planned.  Much like cars, teeth do not typically start ‘acting up’ at convenient times.  Even if you have never seen us before, do not hesitate to call if you are having an emergency (visible swelling, severe pain that is waking you up at night, bleeding, missing front teeth).  You may have to be a little patient with us, but we will see you that day.   

Financial Options

We offer many different ways to help fit your desired treatment into your budget.  

Save 10% if paying by cash or check in full on the day of service, and 7% if paying by credit or debit cards.  

If you have insurance, we will file all the necessary paperwork for you and ensure you are getting the most out of your coverage.

Make payments over time with no interest through CareCredit, or minimal interest over longer time periods with other programs. Starting a dental savings plan and phasing treatment is a great way to get started on regaining your oral health if finances are tight. Whatever your situation, rest assured we have worked with it before.  You do not need to live with unhealthy teeth.  We will find a way to make the finances work so that you can achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
