Patients
“I switched offices for one visit and the Ashland team already had my notes. Same plan, no repeating myself.”
“We moved to Grants Pass in the middle of treatment. Nobody had to start over.”
“They gave me a range for how long each stage usually takes and never promised me a date.”
Sample reviews.
Orthodontic coverage is separate from the dental benefits that pay for cleanings, and many plans pay only part of treatment up to a set maximum. How fees work lists the kinds of plan we bill and the ones we don't, and we check your benefits before your first visit.
You pay for treatment yourself. We give you a written estimate for all of treatment before it starts, and we go through what it covers. Financing is offered by third-party lenders. Approval and terms are set by the lender.
Yes. Keep your cleanings and exams with your family dentist while you're in treatment; we only straighten teeth and fix the bite. With your permission we send your dentist an update at each stage.
Yes. Ask when you book or at the first visit. The estimate lists each stage we expect and what is and isn't included, such as retainers.
You pick the office closest to home. Each doctor works in more than one office, so who you see depends on the day. All three can see your chart, so a visit in a different office doesn't start over.
Booking opens on our own scheduling page. For a referral, use the Refer a patient button above.
