| Frequently Asked Questions by our Patients |
Q. Are you accepting new patients?
A. Yes, most definitely. We welcome new patients and the opportunity
to provide excellent dental care to them.
Q. Will my insurance cover this?
A. All insurance coverages are unique. You should check with your
insurance carrier or your employee benefits book to determine what
dental services are covered. For major services we are happy to send
a predetermination of recommended treatment to your carrier so you
know your exact costs prior to treatment.
Q. Do you take payments?
A. We expect payment at time of service. We will gladly submit your
insurance form for you but all co-pays, deductibles and patient
balances are due at the time of treatment. We have finance options for
those who qualify.
Q. Where are you located?
A. Our address is 22341 West Road in Woodhaven, MI. We are
located approx. 1 mile WEST of I-75, exit 32. We are between I-75 and
Telegraph roads in Woodhaven, MI. Our new building is located across
from Gudith Street. Click on the 'Show Map' and 'Get Directions' links
on this page for more details.
Q. Will it hurt?
A. We take every measure possible to reduce or eliminate any
discomfort you may experience during dental treatment. We use a
topical agent prior to administering anesthesia. We offer nitrous oxide
(gas) to help you relax.
Q. Why do I need to have x-rays?
A. To do an accurate diagnosis we must be able to see more than what
is visible to our eye. An x-ray allows us to see if there is decay where
one tooth touches another or if there are any abnormalities in the bone
or around the root of the tooth.
Q. What are sealants?
A. Sealants are acrylic-like material that helps to shield out decay
causing bacteria from chewing surfaces of the back teeth. A sealant
bonds to the chewing surface of the back teeth. This forms a protective
barrier covering the pits and fissures of these surfaces.
A. Yes, most definitely. We welcome new patients and the opportunity
to provide excellent dental care to them.
