New patients

Your first visit, made easy

No surprises, no lectures, no pressure. Here is exactly what to expect, and how paying for care works.

A happy family of four
What to expect

Three easy steps

1

A warm welcome

Our front desk greets you by name, walks you through quick paperwork, and answers anything on your mind before you ever sit in a chair.

2

A thorough, unhurried exam

We block a full hour and a half for new patients, so nothing feels rushed: a complete check for decay and gum disease, digital X-rays if needed, and a detailed cleaning and polish. Most visits wrap up sooner.

3

A plain-language plan

We show you what we see with our intraoral camera, explain every option clearly, and confirm costs and insurance coverage before anything begins.

Financial information

Care that fits your budget

The cost of treatment varies with your needs. We discuss cost and every payment option before you begin, so you can make the best choice for yourself.

Insurance made simple

We accept most major insurance plans and credit cards. Our staff is always available to help with claims and paperwork, and we bill your insurance directly so you only pay the remaining balance.

Affordable payment plans

Your smile is yours forever. We offer Cherry payment plans and CareCredit financing, so it is easy to get the care you need on a schedule that works for your budget.

Membership plan

No insurance? Our in-house membership plan covers predictable, affordable preventive care for the whole family.

Book online, or just call us

You can book three kinds of visits yourself, any time: a cleaning, a new patient appointment, or an emergency visit.

Do not see a time that works? Give us a call. The online calendar does not show everything, and we very often have something sooner than it looks.

Everything else, our team takes care of for you: we confirm your appointment times, set up your email and text reminders, and send over payment history, statements, and flex-spending or tax receipts whenever you need them. Just ask.

Pay online

Settle your balance securely from home in just a minute, no login needed.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, we happily welcome new patients of all ages across the Clear Lake Area and surrounding communities. New-patient exams often have same-week availability.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of any medications. If you have recent X-rays from a previous dentist, we can request them for you.
How much does a check-up and cleaning cost?
Routine exams and cleanings follow standard fee guides. We always confirm your estimate and insurance coverage before starting, so there are never surprise charges.
Do you see kids and anxious patients?
Absolutely. We take a playful, patient approach with little ones, and offer nitrous sedation for anyone who feels nervous in the chair.
