Which visit should I book?
- Limited exam ($49): you have one problem, such as a toothache, a chipped tooth or a lost filling.
- Comprehensive exam ($99): you want a full checkup and a treatment plan, but need a separate cleaning visit or already had a recent cleaning.
- Comprehensive exam + cleaning ($179): you want a full checkup and cleaning, and your gums are healthy enough for a basic cleaning.
If the dentist finds gum disease, you may need a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) instead of a basic cleaning. You get a written estimate before any treatment.
What should I bring to my first visit?
- Photo ID
- Your dental insurance card (and Medicare Advantage card, if you have one)

Who will I see, and what languages do you speak?
You will see one of our two dentists: Dr. Arpitkumar Patel or Dr. Harsh Patel. Our team speaks English, Spanish, Gujarati and Hindi.
Children are welcome from their first tooth or first birthday. We do their exams, cleanings, fluoride and sealants, and we treat cavities and extractions here too. If a child needs to be sedated for treatment, we refer you to a pediatric dentist.
