Paying for it

Good dentistry, on a monthly budget

Nobody plans for a crown. That’s why almost everything here can be paid monthly — often at 0% interest.

Patient words

Why people stop dreading the dentist

★★★★★

“I avoided dentists for nine years. Nobody scolded me. They fixed the urgent stuff first and spread the rest over a year so my budget survived.”

Jordan K.

· new patient · via Google

★★★★★

“The quote they emailed before my crown was the exact amount I paid. I didn’t know dental billing could work like that.”

Melissa T.

· crown + cleaning · via Google

★★★★★

“Implant from consult to final tooth in four months. Dr. Alder showed me the 3D scan and walked me through every dollar before I committed.”

Ray D.

★★★★★

“Both kids actually ask when their next cleaning is. The 7:30 AM slots mean nobody misses school or work.”

Do you take my insurance?

We accept most PPO plans — including Delta Dental, Blue Cross of Idaho, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, and Guardian — and we file claims even when we’re out-of-network. Send us your card before your visit and we’ll verify exactly what’s covered.

I haven’t been in years. Will I get a lecture?

No. Roughly a third of our new patients haven’t seen a dentist in 5+ years. We care about where your mouth goes from here, not where it’s been. Expect a calm exam and a plan sorted by what’s urgent versus what can wait.

Is there a catch to the $89 new-patient visit?

None. It covers the comprehensive exam, full digital X-rays, and an oral cancer screening — normally $246. You leave with a written plan and exact prices whether or not you book anything else. If you have insurance, your plan usually covers this visit at 100% instead.

Do you see kids?

Yes — ages 3 and up. We book family blocks so parents and kids can be seen back-to-back in one trip, and early-morning slots mean nobody misses school.

What if I have a dental emergency?

Call us first thing — we hold same-day slots every morning for toothaches, chips, and lost crowns. Existing patients get an after-hours line for urgent guidance.

How does financing work?

For treatment over a few hundred dollars, you can apply for CareCredit or Sunbit from your phone in about two minutes — soft credit check, instant decision. Many plans are 0% for 12 months; longer terms are available for implants and aligners.

Ready for a dentist you don’t dread?

Book the $89 new-patient visit — exam, X-rays, honest plan. Sixty seconds to schedule, zero pressure after.
