Answers to FAQs

How long does the procedure I want take to complete?

We don’t have a set answer for that question. Each case and each smile is unique. Dr. Valentine will create a custom treatment plan just for you, explaining the recommended action and how long she thinks each step of the process will take.

How long will it take to get a particular restoration back from the lab?

Our specially chosen labs typically take ten or more workdays to create personally styled, custom restorations. Beautiful temporary restorations and repairs are usually completed in a single visit. On special request and with a lab charged rush fees, we can have handcrafted restorations created in as little as a few days. Precise, computer-generated permanent restorations, such as CEREC crowns, can often be completed as quickly as later the same day.

I want a whiter smile. How long does it take?

If you want to brighten your smile, we offer in-office and at-home teeth whitening. With the Zoom! Whitening system, you will leave your appointment with a glorious new image. At-home whitening takes about two to four weeks to attain the same gorgeous smile.

Will my insurance cover this treatment?

That’s a difficult question. Every insurance company is different, and each plan has different levels of coverage. Before we begin treatment, our administrative staff will verify your coverage level and let you know what insurance will cover. Any remaining balance, or anything insurance doesn’t pay for, is your responsibility.
