How much will my visit or treatment cost?

Our fees are competitive with other dental practices in the area. The amount charged for your care depends on the specific therapies implemented. Our office manager will be happy to answer all of your questions and provide you with information about our fee structure. Call for more information.

How can I pay for my dental care?

We want you to receive the quality dental care you need and deserve, so we’ll work with you to determine the payment method that best fits your situation and budget. Our dental office accepts cash, checks, and all major credit cards. Third-party financing is available through CareCredit, often with low or no interest for qualified applicants. Details are available on the CareCredit website. Dr. Ferrick is an in-network provider for Delta Dental, as well as a number of other insurance companies, so please ask us about your specific policy. Our office manager is always available to answer your payment and insurance questions. Call her today.

I want to know more about changing my smile. What do you suggest?

An appointment. Your smile and your goals are unique. We offer a wide range of cosmetic services, and after your consultation, you'll know which services will deliver the smile of your dreams. For new patients, we offer a Free Smile Makeover Consultation. Call for details.

I don’t like drills. Are there any other options?

We offer air abrasion, an alternative to the traditional dental drill. With air abrasion, a stream of air and tiny abrasive particles whisk away decay. Because the tool emits no vibration, heat, or noise, the factors that cause pain associated with a dental drill, most patients don't even need anesthetic.

Does your office use lasers?

Yes, we employ laser dentistry for precise, comfortable care. DIAGNOdent is our cavity-detection laser. It scans your teeth to find decay and areas prone to decay, and eliminates the need to probe your teeth with a dental hook.

Our soft-tissue laser allows us to treat gum disease, perform crown lengthening, reduce gum tissue for esthetics, and do biopsies. You will need no stitches after laser surgery, and bleeding is minimal. Most patients recover more quickly after laser surgery than they do following traditional surgery.

Is my treatment going to hurt?

Your comfortable experience is a top priority at our dental practice. In addition to oral conscious sedation, Dr. Ferrick uses gentle, non-invasive lasers to perform procedures traditionally requiring a scalpel.

I avoid dental visits because of anxiety…is this normal? Can you help?

Many people fear dental visits because of negative past experiences or control issues. We understand dental anxiety and offer a solution to help you overcome your stress. With oral conscious sedation, we can help you gain full peace of mind and body so that you can receive the dental work you need – and deserve.

My teeth are stained. Can you help?

Yes. We offer whitening solutions to brighten teeth dramatically at home or in our office. Call for an appointment today and ask about our whitening specials!
