About Our Oxford Dental Office
We are a dental office for kids, adults and whole families. We explain what we find and what each choice involves, and we leave the decision with you. Patients tell us that knowing the plan is what lets them relax in the chair.
Why we explain before we treat
Our name says pediatric, and children are a big part of our day. But many of the people we see are parents and grandparents with a cracked molar, a filling that has worn thin or a tooth that has started to ache. We care for the whole family under one roof, so a parent can book their own visit while the kids are seen.
Dental words get in the way. A crown, an onlay, a bridge and a filling can all fix a damaged tooth, and they differ in how much natural tooth is kept, how long they tend to last and what they cost. We show you the X-ray or photo on the screen, point to the problem and describe each option in everyday terms. When one choice can wait and another cannot, we tell you which is which.
Then you get the plan in writing, with each step listed on its own line. You can take it home, compare it with your insurance and call us with questions before anything is scheduled.
How we work with every patient
You see what we see
Intraoral photos and X-rays go up on the screen during your exam. If a tooth has a crack line or decay under an old filling, you will see it yourself rather than taking our word for it.
Materials, explained
Tooth-colored composite, porcelain and zirconia each behave differently. Composite suits small and medium fillings. Porcelain and zirconia hold up better where a tooth needs full coverage. We tell you why we suggest one over another and what the trade-offs are.
Costs before treatment
We accept most dental insurance plans and can walk you through what your coverage is likely to pay. No coverage? Our Office Dental Plan for patients without insurance is one option. For a bigger treatment plan, the CareCredit Patient Payment Plan lets you spread the cost over time.
Gentle, unhurried care
We check that you are numb before we begin and pause whenever you raise a hand. Children get time to meet the chair, the light and the mirror before anyone looks in their mouth.
