Transparent dental pricing

An unhurried first visit to listen, examine, and explain. We review your dental and medical history, perform a basic oral exam, and discuss any concerns you have. You leave with a written plan, a fee estimate, and clear next steps — no pressure to schedule anything that day.

Visual and tactile exam of teeth, gums, soft tissues, and bite. Includes oral-cancer screening and a check of existing restorations. Typically paired with a cleaning and digital X-rays as separate line items. Recommended every six months for most adults.

High-resolution digital bitewing and periapical images used to detect decay between teeth, bone-level changes, and issues below the gumline. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film and display instantly.

Topical fluoride varnish painted on the teeth after a cleaning. Strengthens enamel and helps prevent decay — recommended for children, patients with sensitive teeth, and adults at higher risk of cavities. Takes a few minutes and is covered in full by most plans for children under a certain age.

Visual and tactile examination of the lips, tongue, cheeks, palate, and throat for unusual tissue changes, sores that haven't healed, or lumps. Painless and takes only a few minutes. Recommended at every routine exam — early detection is the strongest predictor of good outcomes.

Measurement of the pocket depth around each tooth using a small probe, along with assessment of gum recession, bleeding, and tooth mobility. The results determine whether you need a routine cleaning or a deeper scaling-and-root-planing visit.

Removal of plaque and hardened tartar above and just below the gumline by a dental hygienist, followed by polishing. Recommended every six months for patients with healthy gums. Most insurance plans cover two prophylaxis visits per year at 100 percent.

Topical fluoride varnish painted on the teeth after a cleaning. Strengthens enamel and helps prevent decay — recommended for children, patients with sensitive teeth, and adults at higher risk of cavities. Takes a few minutes and is covered in full by most plans for children under a certain age.

The routine six-month cleaning for patients without active gum disease — same scope as the prophylaxis above, listed here under the teeth-cleaning subcategory so it appears in both navigation paths.

Therapeutic cleaning for patients with periodontitis or significant tartar below the gumline. The hygienist scales the tooth surface and smooths the root to help the gums reattach. Usually quoted per quadrant and may take two visits. Often paired with localized anesthetic for comfort.

Ongoing cleanings — typically every three to four months — for patients who have completed scaling-and-root-planing or who carry a higher risk of recurring gum disease. The interval is shorter than a routine prophylaxis because periodontal patients form calculus faster.

Targeted digital X-rays taken to investigate a specific concern — a tooth that hurts, a fractured restoration, a suspected abscess. Ordered as needed in addition to the routine bitewings taken at your annual exam.

A single wide image of the upper and lower jaws, all the teeth, and the temporomandibular joints. Useful for evaluating wisdom teeth, planning implants or orthodontics, and screening for cysts or other findings outside the range of bitewing X-rays.

Three-dimensional imaging of the jaws and surrounding structures. Required for accurate implant planning, evaluation of complex root anatomy before a root canal, airway assessment, and certain extractions. Lower radiation than a medical CT scan and complete in a few seconds.

Single-visit professional whitening using a higher-concentration peroxide gel applied under controlled conditions. Most patients see a multi-shade improvement the same day. Results last longer when paired with a take-home maintenance kit.

Custom-fitted trays plus dentist-strength whitening gel for use at home, typically nightly for two to three weeks. Lower per-session strength than in-office whitening but the same long-term result with more flexibility. Trays can be reused for future touch-ups.

Single refill of whitening gel for patients who already have custom trays. Useful before an event or every 6 to 12 months to maintain shade. Includes a shade check at your next routine visit.

In-depth conversation about the smile changes you're considering, with a clinical exam, digital photos, and — when appropriate — a digital scan and preview mockup. You leave with a phased treatment plan and a fee estimate before any work is scheduled.

Thin custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth to change shape, color, or alignment. Price is per tooth; most cosmetic cases involve 6 to 10 veneers. Includes the exam, preparation, temporary veneers, lab fabrication, and final cementation.

Removal of an existing veneer (chipped, debonded, or shade-mismatched) and fabrication of a new one. Price is per tooth and assumes the underlying tooth structure is healthy. If the tooth requires additional restorative work, that is quoted separately.

Detailed evaluation for patients considering a multi-tooth cosmetic plan. Includes intraoral and facial photos, a digital scan, a bite analysis, and a written treatment plan that may combine whitening, bonding, veneers, and orthodontics. Helpful before deciding which combination of treatments will deliver the result you want.

Tooth-colored composite resin shaped and bonded to a tooth to close a small gap, repair a chipped edge, or correct a minor irregularity. Completed in a single visit without lab work. More conservative than a veneer; less durable over many years but easily refreshed or replaced.

Clinical and X-ray evaluation to determine whether clear aligners (Invisalign) or braces are a fit for your case. Includes a 3D scan, a preview of projected tooth movement when Invisalign is appropriate, and a phased fee estimate. Referral to an orthodontist is provided for cases outside our general-practice scope.

Restoration of a cavity using tooth-colored composite material. Price varies with the number of tooth surfaces involved and whether sedation is used. The range reflects single-surface to multi-surface fillings on a single tooth.

Custom-made cap that covers a damaged or root-canal-treated tooth to restore its strength and shape. Price varies with material (porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-ceramic, zirconia, or gold). Typically requires two visits — preparation and a temporary, then placement of the final crown after lab fabrication.

Fixed prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the neighboring teeth. Quoted per unit (each crown plus each replacement tooth is one unit). Implant-supported bridges are quoted separately under implants.

Titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, later restored with a crown, bridge, or denture. Price is for the implant placement only; the final restoration, any bone grafting, sinus lift, or sedation are additional line items quoted at the consultation.

Removable replacement of multiple missing teeth in an arch. Range covers acrylic dentures, premium dentures, and implant-retained overdentures. Includes the initial impressions, try-in visits, delivery, and a 30-day adjustment period.

Removal of a tooth that cannot be saved with restorative or endodontic treatment. Simple extractions sit at the low end of the range; surgical extractions requiring sectioning or bone removal are at the high end. Includes a post-op check at no charge.

Removal of third molars (wisdom teeth) — erupted or impacted. Price is per tooth and depends on whether the tooth is fully erupted, partially erupted, or fully impacted. Cases requiring IV sedation or referral to an oral surgeon are quoted separately at the consultation.

Complex orthognathic surgery is referred to a trusted oral & maxillofacial surgeon. We coordinate the referral, share records, and manage your pre-op and post-op dental care.

Clinical exam, digital intraoral scan, and a preview of how your teeth would move over the course of treatment. You see the projected end result before deciding whether to start. Includes a phased fee estimate and an insurance benefits check.

Series of clear, removable aligners worn 20 to 22 hours a day, each set worn for one to two weeks. Range reflects case complexity — mild crowding sits at the low end, multi-arch or refinement cases at the high end. Includes all aligners, attachments, check-in visits, and the final set of retainers.

Follow-up visit after orthodontic, restorative, or surgical treatment to confirm healing, check function, and decide whether any refinement is needed. Often bundled into the original treatment fee — listed here for cases where it's billed separately.

Custom-fitted clear or wire retainers worn after orthodontic treatment to keep teeth in their new position. Nightly wear is the most reliable schedule. Price is per arch (upper or lower); most patients need both. Replacements are quoted at the same range.

Focused evaluation for jaw pain, clicking, headaches, or limited mouth opening. Includes a clinical exam of the jaw joints and muscles, a bite analysis, and — when needed — imaging. You leave with a written diagnosis and a phased treatment plan ranging from home care to splints to physical therapy.

Custom-fitted oral appliance worn typically at night to reduce clenching, grinding, or jaw-joint strain. Includes the impressions or digital scan, fabrication, fitting visit, and a follow-up adjustment. Athletic mouthguards quoted separately.

In-house TMJ-focused physical therapy. Hands-on exercises, posture coaching, and home-care guidance to reduce jaw pain, headaches, and limited mouth opening — coordinated with your splint or mouthguard treatment.

Reserved appointment slot for urgent issues — severe pain, broken or knocked-out tooth, lost crown or filling, swelling. Call first so we can triage whether you should come in, go to urgent care, or head to the ER. The additional fee covers the rescheduling cost; the underlying treatment is quoted at standard rates.

Diagnosis of the cause of a toothache (decay, abscess, cracked tooth, exposed nerve, or sinus pressure presenting as dental pain) and treatment to relieve it. The fee depends on what's needed — a temporary filling, drainage of an abscess, antibiotics, or scheduling a root canal or extraction.

Emergency care for dental injuries — knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, lacerated lips or tongue, jaw injuries. Time matters most for a knocked-out adult tooth: keep it moist (milk or saline) and get to the office within an hour. Major facial trauma or uncontrolled bleeding should go to the ER first.
