How the Pricing Works
We keep the pricing simple and honest:
- Every Happy & Healthy Smile Assessment visit starts at $299.
- That covers your comprehensive exam and any X‑rays you need.
- If your gums are healthy, your standard cleaning is included at $299.
- If you need a more advanced gum treatment, your $299 is applied as a credit toward that specialized cleaning to treat gum infection, and you simply pay the difference.
- Most first visits range from $299 to the mid-$500s, depending on the cleaning your mouth needs.
- We always show you the exact total before we start anything, and you decide how to proceed.
New patients only · Uninsured / out‑of‑network · Cannot be combined with insurance or other discounts

What to Expect at Your Visit
- Welcome and paperwork
We confirm that you are a new adult patient paying out of pocket (uninsured or out‑of‑network) and review a short health and dental historOur team greets you by name, answers immediate questions, and makes sure you understand exactly what the Assessment includes before anything begins. - Goal‑focused conversation
Your dentist asks how you feel about your smile, what is bothering you, and what you would like to change.
This is a judgment‑free conversation where you can talk openly about sensitivity, appearance, past experiences, and any worries you have about long‑term dental health. - Comprehensive exam and X-rays
We take all necessary X‑rays and complete a thorough, doctor‑led exam during your in-depth visit.
We evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work so we are not guessing or only looking at “the one tooth that hurts,” and you have a complete picture in one visit. - Summary and next steps
If your gums are healthy, you receive a healthy‑mouth cleaning that is included in the $299. If you need more advanced gum care, we review options, show you the total (usually $299 to the mid‑$500s), apply your $299 as a credit, and proceed only with your approval.
You see the recommended care, fees, and timing in clear language so you can decide what fits best for your health and your budget, without pressure. - Clear plan and follow-up
You leave with a clear plan, including what is urgent, what can wait, and a $50 treatment voucher to use toward recommended fillings, crowns, or cosmetic improvements.
We answer final questions, help you schedule follow‑up visits if you are ready, and make sure you know exactly how to use your $50 voucher when you choose to move forward.
After Your Assessment
Your Assessment is the starting point for a long‑term plan, not just a one‑time visit.
- If you need treatment, we help you prioritize and schedule next steps, using your $50 treatment voucher when you begin recommended care.
- If your mouth is generally healthy, we set an interval for routine check‑ups and cleanings to help keep it that way.
- If you want predictable costs going forward, ask about our "Happy & Healthy Smile Membership", which includes exams and X‑rays and provides 15% savings on most care for patients without dental insurance.
