We book longer appointments than most practices, put the price in writing before anything starts, and tell you plainly when something can wait.
Taking new patients. Most PPO plans accepted, and we file the claim for you.
1400 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, New YorkFree lot behind the building, and the front door has no step.
Every price here is what you pay without insurance. If you have a plan, we check it before your visit and tell you the number that is left.
A full hour with one hygienist, start to finish. You leave knowing what we found, what needs doing and what can be left alone for now.
Tooth colored and matched to the tooth beside it. Most are finished in the same appointment you came in for.
We scan, mill and fit in one sitting, so there is no temporary crown to look after for two weeks and no second day off work.
Trays molded from your own teeth, plus the gel to go with them. You do it at home over two weeks, which is gentler on sensitive teeth.
We build the shape first and let you look at it in a mirror. Nothing gets touched until you have seen where it is going.
A ride in the chair, a count of the teeth, a new toothbrush. If they are not ready for more that day, that is a fine outcome.
Booked as one long appointment rather than three short ones. We will tell you honestly if the tooth is worth saving.
Anything not listed gets quoted in writing before it is booked. We have never sent a patient a bill they had not already seen.
It sounds like a small thing. It is the reason people who have not sat in a dental chair for a decade get through the first appointment. Headphones, a blanket and sunglasses are on the counter, and you are welcome to use all three.
Most of what makes a dental visit unpleasant is not the treatment. It is not knowing what is happening, what it will cost, or when it will stop. So we run the practice the other way around.
Your hygienist stays with you from the chair to the front desk. Nobody hands you off halfway through, and nobody starts the appointment by reading your chart for the first time.
Every plan is printed with a cost against each step. You take it home. If you decide against half of it, that is a normal conversation here.
A small worn spot does not always need a filling this year. When that is the honest answer we write down what we saw and when to look at it again.
Written out because people put off booking when they cannot picture it. Nothing below is a surprise on the day.
The night before, two minutes
No clipboard in a waiting room. There is a box on the form that asks whether the dentist makes you anxious. If you tick it, that goes at the top of your chart and the whole team sees it.
First ten minutes
Chair upright, coat still on. Mara asks what has been bothering you and what you have been putting off. Nothing goes near your mouth until that conversation has finished.
About twenty minutes
Photos, a scan and a check of every tooth and your gums. It goes up on the monitor beside you as we work, so you are looking at the same picture we are. Raise a hand at any point and we stop.
Last five minutes
Findings in plain words, a plan with prices, and no expectation that you book the work today. If there is time in the appointment and you want it, the cleaning happens on the same visit.

Concept demo: nothing was sent and no time is held. On the real site this request would reach the front desk with your details.
You will see the same faces every time, which means nobody has to be told the same thing twice.
Bought the practice in 2019 and spent the first year making it quieter. She does the exams and writes every treatment plan herself.
Crowns, veneers and smile design. He will build the shape and hand you a mirror before he touches a single tooth.
Runs the cleanings and will tell you straight whether your gums are improving or you are just brushing harder before appointments.
The voice on the phone. She checks your coverage before you come in, argues with the insurer when she has to, and finds a time that fits your week.
Asked often enough that it is easier to answer them here than to make you call for them.
Book the first visit online, or call and Noor will find you a time. If the whole idea makes you nervous, say so when you book and we will plan around it.
