Services and Referrals

Services which may be provided include: examinations (head, neck, intra-oral, periodontal, and dental charting), x-ray films, oral prophylaxis (scaling and polishing of the teeth), fluoride and desensitizing treatments, sealants, smoothing and polishing of old restorations (fillings), and simple silver or composite restorations. If x-ray films are taken, you will be given one set of duplicate films at no extra charge. We will explain your particular dental problems and what can be done to resolve them. If you have treatment needs that we cannot fulfill, the supervising dentist will suggest referrals to practitioners in the community.

It is extremely important for you to realize that we cannot replace your regular dentist. We strongly encourage you to see a private dentist. We do not provide the full scope of dental services and have a limited number of appointment spaces. Therefore, we cannot guarantee provision of all treatment needed by every patient. If any referrals are suggested by our supervising dentist, we request that you inform your regular dentist of this. Such communication will promote overall continuity of care if a dentist is informed about your case and responsible for your total treatment on a regular basis.
