Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, we are welcoming new patients right now. We serve Brighton, Hamburg, and Howell. You can use the booking form on this page to reserve your first appointment.
What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit is a full assessment of your oral health. We examine your teeth, gums, and bite, review any concerns you bring up, and talk through what we find. You leave with a clear picture of where things stand and a plan for any next steps that make sense for you.
Do you accept my dental insurance?
We work with many dental insurance plans. Coverage depends on the specific plan your employer selected, not just the carrier name, so benefits vary from person to person. Give our front desk a call at (810) 229-2126 or bring your plan details to your visit, and we can look into your coverage before treatment begins.
What if I don't have insurance?
We are happy to help you sort through payment options. Reach out to our team at (810) 229-2126, and we can walk you through what works best for your situation before your appointment.
Can I be seen for a dental emergency?
Yes. If you have a knocked-out tooth, sudden swelling, or a cracked tooth causing pain, call us at (810) 229-2126 right away. Let the front desk know it is urgent so we can fit you in as quickly as possible during our office hours.
