Policies
Appointments:
The first appointment is usually reserved for a comprehensive examination that includes X-rays, facial photographs and models. During this examination, which lasts between 40-50 minutes, Dr. Hanson does oral cancer screening, checks for cavities, fractured and chipped teeth, evaluates gums for most appropriate gum treatment and teeth cleaning, and checks your bite and more. He will then make recommendation, which we print for you. We will sit down with you, go over the treatment, the fees, also we will present the best appointment schedule for you.
Fees:
In addition to making your dental treatment experience stress-free, we strive to assist you as best we can in financing your visit to our office. We accept cash, debit, Visa or MasterCard for payment at the time of your appointment. If you have dental insurance, our skilled staff with the use of a special computer program can assist you in processing your insurance claim immediately. Should you have specific concerns regarding finances we suggest you contact our Office Manager to discuss payment options that suit your budget.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Cutting Edge Technology
DIAGNOdent
This unique instrument provides instant feedback on the health of the tooth. A pen like probe simply glides over tooth surfaces constantly checking the health of the tooth. A number scale and an alarm signals the operator when there are signs of hidden decay. This new technology is completely safe and pain free.
Waterlase
There are many advantages to using the Waterlase over conventional instruments:
- Patient COMFORT! Waterlase Dentistry does not transmit heat or vibration, a major cause of the discomfort associated with the dental drill. In addition, using the Waterlase reduces bleeding, post-operative pain and swelling in many procedures.
- Accuracy and Precision! We are able to treat targeted areas of tooth structure and gum tissue while leaving surrounding areas unaffected. The Waterlase eliminates damage and conserves healthy tissue.
- Fewer Shots and Less Anesthesia! This means no needles and no numb lip for many procedures!
- Fewer Dental Visits! Waterlase Dentistry gives us the ability to perform many procedures that previously required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them done during your same appointment.
