Are you accepting new patients?

Yes. We welcome new patients of all ages. Call us or request an appointment online to get started.

Insurance & Payment

Do you take my insurance?

We work with most major dental insurance plans. Call us with your plan details and we'll let you know what to expect.

What if I don't have insurance?

You can finance your care through Cherry or CareCredit, with payment plans that spread the cost into manageable monthly amounts. Cherry approval takes about 60 seconds with no hard credit check.

Will I know the cost before treatment?

Yes, always. We provide a clear estimate up front so there are no surprises.

When is payment due?

Payment is due at the time of service for the portion not covered by insurance, and we'll make that amount clear ahead of time. See the Financing & Insurance page for details.

Treatment Questions

Can you really make a crown in one visit?

Yes. With digital scanning and our in-office mill, most crowns are designed, made, and placed the same day - no temporary and no second appointment.

Does Dr. Hojnowski place dental implants?

He does, right here in our office, using guided surgery and 3D imaging. He's a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists with advanced implant training.

Will I know the cost before treatment?

We keep room in our schedule for urgent cases and do our best to see emergencies the same day or next. Call us right away if you're in pain. See the Emergency Dentistry page.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes. Our digital X-rays use very low levels of radiation and give us essential information about your oral health.

I'm nervous about the dentist. Can you help?

You're not alone, and there's no judgment here. We take the time to keep you comfortable, explain each step, and we're known for our gentle, nearly painless approach.

Still Have A Question?

We're glad to answer anything we didn't cover here. Reach out and we'll help.
