A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS

Before you visit.

We’re happy to talk through your questions.

Do you accept new patients?

Yes! We welcome new patients of all ages and typically schedule within the week. Whether you need a routine cleaning or have a specific concern, we’re here to help.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans. Acceptance does not necessarily mean we are in-network. Please confirm your specific carrier and plan with our team. Benefit estimates are not a guarantee of payment; final responsibility depends on insurer processing.

What if I have a dental emergency?

Tooth pain or a dental emergency? Call our office at (703) 820-8282 to discuss the earliest available appointment. Visits depend on office hours and availability.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, and a list of any medications you are currently taking. You can also complete your new patient forms online before your visit.

How do you help patients feel comfortable?

We use a gentle approach, clear explanations, and local anesthesia when appropriate. Please tell our team about any concerns before your appointment so we can discuss your needs. We do not offer sedation dentistry.
