We are willing to work with each patient
to design an optimal payment method and plan. We accept cash, personal
checks and all major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American
Express and Discover. Your insurance plan co-pay is due at the time
of your visit, but we can bill deductible payments over a period
of time according to your particular situation. Just please let us
know ahead of time if you desire to pay in installments.
We are also pleased to offer CareCredit to our patients. CareCredit
is the leader in patient/client financing, and has helped more than 1
million patients/clients get the treatment or procedures they needed
and wanted. With a comprehensive range of plan options, for treatment
or procedure fees from $1 to over $25,000, we offer a plan and a low
monthly payment to fit comfortably into almost every budget.

When you become a patient of our practice,
we think of you as a person, not just another set of teeth to fix
and clean. Our goal is to help you obtain and then maintain the best
possible oral health. So, we take time to understand your dental
history and evaluate the best options for your particular dental
needs. Plus, we help you understand the whys and wherefores of preventive
care through thorough patient education.

It is certainly not desirable to have
bleeding gums following brushing. However, the condition may or may
not require attention, depending on the source of the problem. Bleeding
gums can be caused by any of the following: improper, rough, 'scrubbing' instead
of gentle, circular brushing motions; using a hard-bristled tooth
brush instead of a soft one; plaque and/or tartar build-up below
the gum line; or gum sensitivity due to gingivitis or periodontal
disease. If this problem persists despite correct brushing and flossing
methods or occurs every time you brush, contact our office to set
up an evaluation appointment.

We understand many people have qualms
about having their teeth worked on. So, we strive to create a relaxing
atmosphere. For entertainment and distraction, we have vibrating
pillows and cushions, blankets/foot warmers and special headphones
available in all rooms so you can keep your mind on more
pleasant things. And for the more complex procedures, we also offer
laughing gas and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable and relaxed.

Dr. White has a number of ways to
improve the look of your front teeth without the use of traditional
braces. For slightly crooked or unevenly worn teeth, a bit of reshaping
and the addition of porcelain veneers may be sufficient to give them
a bright, uniform look. In other cases, it may be necessary to attach 'invisible' braces
behind the front teeth. We would be happy to talk with you further
about the option that best suits your individual situation.

The highlight of smile design is watching
your eyes light up the first time you look in the mirror at the change
that has taken place. Our experience of watching our guests react
to their new smile is almost overwhelming. We see an immediate change
in their confidence and their interaction with others. The result
is the creation of a beautiful new smile with a comfortable neuromuscular
occlusion.
Typically changing the clinical smile
is rewarding, but when clinical changes affect the psychological
and emotional components---that is exhilarating! Most see dentistry
simply as a repair and maintenance facility. But when patient lives
are changed in such drastic measures, it confirms the reason many
of us got involved in dentistry in the first place, which is to help
others.
