How can we help you?
We are happy to answer questions about our services and procedures.
These are a selection of some common questions that patients have. If your question isn't answered here, please contact our office. It's important to us that our patients understand their dental care.
General
We are a Delta Dental Premier Provider. We take Blue Cross Blue Shield, but are considered an Out of Network provider. Please call the office with questions.
We take Healthy Kids and MI Child through Delta Dental of Michigan.
We do not take Medicaid at this time.
Cleanings and Examinations
For most patients, we recommend twice-yearly visits for cleanings and examinations. If you are currently being treated for a particular concern, we may recommend that you visit us more often.
Even with excellent hygiene habits, it's easy to miss small areas of your teeth. Over time, the missed plaque will harden into tartar, which can only be removed with a dental hygienist's tools. When tartar accumulates beneath the gum line, the end result is red, puffy, inflamed gums – the beginnings of periodontal disease.
Dental Implants
While dental implants do tend to cost more than bridges or dentures, they are also the most life-like, stable, and functional replacement, closely mimicking the appearance and function of your natural teeth. They also last longer, which can save you money in the long run. Call our office today to schedule your consultation.
Root Canal Therapy
We will do our very best to get you in the same day for dental emergencies. We try to make accommodations in our schedule to get patients out of pain. Please call the office early in the day so we can get you on the list/schedule for the day. Emergency time is limited and we may have specific times available and/or need to put you on a cancellation list.
TMJ and Bruxism
Having headaches can be a symptom of TMJ disorders. In order to determine if that is the case for you, we can do an evaluation. If your symptoms are due to TMJ, we will provide treatment alternatives to help.
