We Work With Your Schedule
We know how busy life with the littlies can be. That’s why our friendly front-desk team works with you to find an appointment time that is suitable for both you and your child.
We Plan For Success
Because all children are more prepared and do better in the mornings, we try to schedule any restorative work like fillings and extractions during the morning hours. We’re happy to provide a note if your little one needs to miss school.
We Keep Things Punctual
We strive to give every child the time and individual attention they deserve. Please plan to arrive at least 5 minutes before your appointment time so you have time to fill in your new patient forms.
If you think that you may be more than 10 minutes late, please call right away so that we can reschedule.
We Understand When Life Gets Messy
We understand that unexpected events can cause changes in your schedule. As a courtesy, we ask that you notify us 24 hours in advance if you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment.
- If notice is not given, a $25 fee will be charged to your account.
- If more than two broken/missed appointments or two cancellations without 24-hour notice occur, we reserve the right to refuse scheduling any subsequent appointments.
We’re Always Up For A Chat!
Should you have any further questions about our scheduling or appointment policies, please don’t hesitate to call our office at (903) 531-9000!
Insurance and Billing
We can help you maximize your benefits. We recommend that you contact our office prior to your appointment to provide us with insurance information for verification of benefits. We accept most major dental insurances and will file most claims for you as a courtesy. We will provide you with an explanation of your dental benefits and financial responsibilities up front, and work with you to ensure financing, if needed.
Financing Options
We provide multiple financing options to ensure you can receive the treatments you need with a plan you can afford. We accept cash, check, debit and credit cards, and CareCredit financing.
