Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer same-day crowns?
Yes, we do! The process takes about 30 minutes to prep your tooth and complete a 3D scan. The crown milling takes approximately 30-45 minutes, and once it’s ready, you’ll be back in the chair for about 15 minutes while we cement your crown.
What’s included in the new patient special?
Our new patient special is $89 and includes a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and a cleaning. Dr. Farahani will discuss her diagnosis with you, and our treatment planning team will explain any necessary procedures.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept most PPO plans from major insurers, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Guardian, and more. Please contact our office to connect with our insurance verification team and learn more about your specific plan’s coverage.
What are the financing options?
We offer financing through Cherry and CareCredit, both with 0% APR. Reach out to our office, and our finance team will be happy to walk you through your options.
Is Invisalign uncomfortable?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may experience mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, but it’s usually brief and temporary.
Is there a cancellation fee for missed appointments?
We have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If you miss an appointment or cancel within 48 hours of your scheduled time, a $40 fee will apply.
How often should I see a dentist?
We recommend that adults with healthy gums schedule a cleaning every 6 months. This enables our dentists to identify potential issues early and maintain your oral health on track.
Is a root canal necessary when getting a crown?
Not necessarily! A root canal is not required for every crown. It depends on your individual situation, but generally, it is not needed for a crown.
