Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered.

Straight answers to what patients ask us most — about first visits, insurance, emergencies, and care for the whole family.

Getting started & insurance

New here? Start with these.

How do I become a new patient?

Just request a visit online or call the office nearest you. We'll send new-patient paperwork to your inbox so your first visit stays relaxed, and we welcome the whole family — kids included.

Do you take my insurance?

We accept most major PPO dental plans — plus Medicaid and Tricare — and file your claims for you. We'll verify your benefits and give you a written estimate before any treatment beyond a routine visit. See insurance & financing →

What if I don't have dental insurance?

You're still very welcome. We keep care affordable, offer financing for larger treatment plans, and always explain costs up front.

Which office should I go to?

Whichever is closer — Manassas (Galveston Court) or Dumfries (Fraley Boulevard). Both are staffed by the same team.

Visits, emergencies & family care

The everyday questions.

How often should I come in?

Most patients do well with a cleaning and exam every six months. We'll tailor the schedule to your needs — more often if you're prone to gum issues.

Can I be seen the same day for an emergency?

In most cases, yes — we keep same-day room for emergencies at both offices. Call the location nearest you as early as you can. More on emergency care →

When should my child first see a dentist?

By age one or when the first tooth appears. Early visits are short, gentle, and focused on comfort. More on kids' dentistry →

Do you offer orthodontics?

Yes — Invisalign, clear aligners, and braces are available on site through a visiting orthodontic specialist, so it's coordinated with your regular dental care.
