Friendly and professional staff, and an excellent experience in the chair! Dr. Makarita is top notch in his clinical skills and has great bedside manner. He spent time with me and listened, and I never felt rushed, even though there were other patients in the office. I wouldn't go to anyone else!

More info: We gladly accept Cash, Checks, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Visa. We're pleased to offer our patients Care Credit.
Offers Financing/Payment Plans?: Yes
Bills on a Sliding Scale?: No
We accept your insurance, however, we are considered out of network. We work with you to maximize your benefits from your insurance plan and will submit the forms on your behalf and accept direct payment from them. The patient then pays the difference as a copay. We can always send in a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance to see exactly what is covered.
Why are we not "in network?" The fees that are dictated that the dentist must accept (about 20% less), are too low for us to be able to use the best materials, labs and equipment and see one patient at a time. We do not double book patients and have an office full of patients. Our whole team is devoted to treating one patient at a time. With the lower fees reimbursed as an in network dentist, we would have to cut corners and we are not willing to do that. Please call us if you have any questions about this.
