Common Questions

Throughout the years, patients have asked us a number of questions. Here are the answers to a few of those commonly asked, but if there is a question here we have not answered, please feel free to call us and find out more. Perhaps we will even add it to our list here!

What different payment options do you provide?

We accept cash, personal checks and most major credit cards. We have a financial coordinator on staff that will gather all payment options available in collaboration with your insurance benefits. Our coordinator will assist you in finding the best payment options, and will review the final options with you during your initial visit.

We are also pleased to offer CareCredit to our patients. CareCredit is the leader in patient/client financing, and has helped more than 1 million patients/clients get the treatment or procedures they needed and wanted.

How can I ask Dr. Green questions directly?

We encourage our patients to have open, direct communication with Dr. Green. Therefore, he is available daily to answer your questions. We encourage you to call our office with your inquiries; Dr. Green will promptly respond to your question within 24 hours.

What makes you different than any other dental practice I can visit?

When you become a patient of our practice, we think of you as a person, not just another set of teeth to fix and clean. Our goal is to help you obtain and then maintain the best possible oral health. So, we take time to understand your dental history and evaluate the best options for your particular dental needs. Plus, we help you understand the whys and wherefores of preventive care through thorough patient education.

In addition, we offer Conscious Oral Sedation; a comfort maximizing method giving you the care you need without the anxiety. You will swallow a couple of sedation pills 45 minutes prior to our visit together, and will lightly doze during the entire procedure.

My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?

It is certainly not desirable to have bleeding gums following brushing. However, the condition may or may not require attention, depending on the source of the problem. Bleeding gums can be caused by any of the following: improper, rough, scrubbing instead of gentle, circular brushing motions; using a hard-bristled tooth brush instead of a soft one; plaque and/or tartar build-up below the gum line; or gum sensitivity due to gingivitis or periodontal disease. If this problem persists despite correct brushing and flossing methods or occurs every time you brush, contact our office to set up an evaluation appointment.

I want my front teeth to look better, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?

Dr. Green has several ways to improve the look of your front teeth without the use of traditional braces. For slightly crooked or unevenly worn teeth, a bit of reshaping and the addition of porcelain veneers may be sufficient to give them a bright, uniform look.

How much treatment can I have done in one visit?

You can have as much treatment as you want done during one visit. We allot the time needed to perform all procedures desired during scheduling.

I've heard of sedation dentistry, but what exactly is it?

Sedation dentistry is a method used to maximize comfort. You will swallow a couple of sedation pills 45 minutes prior to our visit together. The majority of our sedation patients lightly doze during the procedure, and often have only little or even no memory of the visit. Sedation dentistry is beneficial for those who need lots of work completed and do not want the anxiety.
