Welcome to Lasting Smiles Dental Care. We are a general dental practice that blends old-fashioned service and the latest technology with professionalism and a sense of humor. We are committed to providing dental care and the finest service possible for our patients. A healthy mouth is the gateway to a healthy body.

In addition to traditional preventive, restorative and cosmetic dentistry, we offer dental implants to restore missing teeth, pain-free Laser treatment and same-visit computer generated all porcelain restorations (CEREC). We are proud of our patient-centered philosophy and personalized care in this modern age of indifference, we focus on helping patients take responsibility for their oral health, on knowing each patient as an individual and on making dental visits pleasant, gentle and pain-free. Our goal is to educate our patients on the value of maintaining their natural teeth and their oral health so that they may enjoy the benefits and quality of life from a healthy, comfortable, functional and lasting smile.
OFFICE POLICIES
OFFICE HOURS – Monday to Friday 7:30am-5pm.
Hours are subject to change.
APPOINTMENTS – Dental treatment is a very personalized and time-intensive service and we reserve specific time in which to perform the procedures. When you schedule an appointment, it is your responsibility to keep that appointment. We will make an effort to contact you to remind you of your appointment, however, it is still your responsibility to show up whether you hear from us or not. If you have any questions, please call to verify. Please call at least 48 hours before your appointment and speak with a real person to cancel an appointment. If you are going to be late, please call us so we are aware of the situation. We understand that things happen, however, just as your time is valuable, our time is valuable. The charge for broken appointments with less than 48 hours notice is $50. (If a patient does not show up for an appointment for which we have reserved the time, the patient does not get the treatment needed and someone else does not get the treatment they may have needed). We accommodate emergencies for our patients of record within 24 hours. We try to accommodate all who truly want and need to be seen.
X-RAYS AND EXAMINATIONS – It is required by law that we establish a baseline and diagnosis of your oral health prior to prescribing a “cleaning” appointment or other treatment visit. X-rays and an examination help us formulate the blueprint for your care and proper sequencing. We also may need photographs and diagnostic models to help us study your particular dental issues and plan treatment.
MEDICAL HISTORY – Please be sure that you give us your complete medical history and inform us of any changes. It is your responsibility to inform us of any medical alerts or conditions and any prescribed and over the counter medications and any changes before every treatment.
CHILD VISITS – A parent needs to accompany minors under 18 years of age at the time of the appointment unless we have a written consent prior to the appointment that a relative or friend has authority.
FINANCIAL POLICY – Full payment is expected at the time service is rendered. We accept cash, checks, Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express and Care Credit. Returned checks will be charged a $50 service fee.
