Scheduling & Payment
We welcome new patients of all ages to our practice! Please download the health history form on this page to expedite the paperwork at your first visit for your convenience.
For those who are joining our family of patients, it might seem out of the ordinary to be scheduled for a 60 minute new patient visit with the doctor and hygienist. This time is reserved exclusively for you to ensure that you can receive the thorough examination and consultation with Dr. Paluk or Dr. Echeverria that you deserve. We look forward to getting to know you and your family, and to talking with you about your oral health. During your initial visit, we also make sure that we are well informed about your medical history, current medications, and any other factors that may affect your dental health and treatment.
We schedule one patient per appointment, because you deserve exclusive, personalized time with our doctors and staff. We strive to run on time so you won’t be kept waiting, and we ask you to arrive for your appointments on time as well. We understand you are busy, and your time is valuable to us!
Please call two business days in advance for changed appointments. Missed appointments without this notification, or repeated cancellations, will incur cancellation fees. We want to work with you to schedule convenient appointments for your visits to our office.
Payment Options
Our goal is to help remove financial barriers so our patients can receive the dental care they need and desire. Many patients have some type of dental insurance. In the majority of cases, we are able and pleased to assist you in maximizing these benefits. At your first visit, we will ask you for current insurance information. We may ask you to confirm this information at subsequent visits, so we can remain up-to-date and fully informed to serve you. As a courtesy to you, we file all claim forms electronically, provide postage for special claims, and we track the claims for you.
CareCredit® Financing
We offer financing through CareCredit® for those who qualify. With CareCredit, you can finance 100% of your dental treatment and there are no upfront costs, no annual fees, and no pre-payment penalties. CareCredit offers a full range of payment plans, so you can find one that works wells for you. CareCredit also allows for revolving payments with a variable interest rate. It can be used by the whole family for ongoing treatment without having to reapply, too.
