Our practice provides very thorough examinations; outstanding cleanings; beautiful crowns, bridges, and veneers; select extractions; and emergency dentistry.
We set aside special time each day in our schedule for both established and non-established patients’ emergencies; we feel this is such an important service to provide for our patients and our community as at large.

We Work Directly with Insurance Companies on Your Behalf
At Gentle Family Dentistry, we’re dedicated to maximizing your insurance benefits to deliver comprehensive dental services. Dental care should be as affordable as it is effective, and that’s what we provide at our practice. Because insurance providers vary greatly on benefits, we can only provide good-faith estimates of how much it might cost to perform the treatment you require. However, we are familiar with each insurance agency’s traditional operational practices. This gives us some advantage in determining what your insurance company may cover. If your provider does not cover the treatment you require or wish to undergo, ask our front office staff about the best way to financially prepare yourself. Here is some information we hope you will find helpful in understanding your dental insurance benefits.
Our Payment Policies for Dental Services
Our payment policies are designed to be transparent and simple. Payment for treatment is collected on the day the services are provided. We require down payments for more expensive procedures and treatment involving lab work, and these are due when we schedule the appointment. As a courtesy to our established patients, we file your insurance claim once we’ve received all the required information from you. Non-established patients with an emergency appointment will be asked to pay for treatment in full at the time of their appointment. For your convenience, will provide you with the dental codes and applicable x-rays you need to submit paperwork to your insurance carrier.
