Your Visit
It won’t take long to notice that we do things a little differently at Polished Dental. First and foremost, we get to know you and give you a warm welcome into our family of patients. Good oral health is a team effort, so we prioritize our relationships with our patients and treat everyone as an individual. Second, we respect your time and do everything we can to seat you at your reserved appointment time. We know that it’s hard enough to fit dental visits into your schedule, and we want to help you get the treatment you need and get you back on track with your busy day.
Finally, and most importantly, we’ve made it our policy to treat one patient at a time and never overbook. Accurate diagnoses and thorough, comprehensive care require an attention to detail that can only be achieved by focusing on you — and only you! — during your appointment. We also value this time because it gives you a chance to have a candid, one-on-one consultation with our team about your needs, goals and expectations.

Financials
We take pride in helping our patients finance the quality dental care that they deserve. Our goal at Polished Dental is to make dental health a financial possibility for all of our patients, regardless of age, income, and dental needs.

We offer fair, affordable fees and a variety of convenient payment options that fit every budget.

FAQs
How long will my first visit take?
We reserve at least 60 minutes for all of our new patient visits, so that our doctors and our team have plenty of time to get to know you. This first visit is also your chance to get to know us, too, and tell us a little about your dental history and any concerns that brought you to our office.
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely! We offer a variety of financing options, including payment plans through CareCredit. Visit our Financial page to learn more.
What should I do if I’m having a dental emergency?
We’ve all been there: you broke a filling or your child’s chipped his tooth, but your dentist can’t fit you in for two or three days. That won’t happen at Polished Dental, because we know that sometimes you can’t wait even one day to get your smile back. We reserve openings in our daily schedule to accommodate dental emergencies, so you’ll never have to wait in pain, and one of our office is open every day but Sunday. Call our office right away so we can fit you in!
Do you see children?
We love to see kids, and we highly recommend that all children visit a dentist early and regularly. The first visit isn’t too intensive — we’ll just make sure that all of your child’s teeth are erupting properly and address any developmental issues that might be present. Early first visits also give kids a chance to “test drive” the dental chair, which can make dental visits much less intimidating in the future.
