Do you take dental insurance?
Yes, we accept virtually all dental insurance, however, we do
not participate in any managed care plans. With our computerized
billing system, we can file your insurance claims as a convenience
to you. For the planning of any non-emergency dental work, we will
be happy to file a "pre-determination of benefits" with your insurer.
Do you extract wisdom teeth?
Yes, we extract wisdom teeth. However, certain teeth may require the care of an oral surgeon, and our office can help with this easy process.
What is an implant?
An implant is a piece of metal that is surgically placed in the
area of a missing tooth. It is made of titanium, which allows it
to attach to the bone of your jaw. The implant can then be used
as an artificial root to place a new crown or bridge on.
Implants can also be used to anchor a denture in place, providing
a more stable chewing experience. For more information, visit the Restorative
Dentistry section of our web site.
What are sealants?
Sealants are a protective plastic coating placed on the chewing
surface of a back tooth to help prevent tooth decay. They work
by sealing off the deepest parts of the grooves of the teeth, preventing
decay-causing bacteria from being able to destroy the tooth. They
are a part of the complete
Preventive Dentistry program offered at All-Bright Dental.
Do you treat children?
We are happy to treat the whole family at All-Bright Dental.
Yes, flossing once a day prevents the build-up of
plaque.
Yes we utilize nitrous oxide. It is a common and effective form of sedation that is completely reversible by the end of your dental appointment. There is no need to have someone drop you off, or pick you up.
