Dr. Warise and all of our other staff
members take up to and beyond the required number of continuing education
hours required by the Board of Dentistry. The field of dentistry
is constantly changing and to keep up with the changes we feel it
is important to have all of the knowledge we can so we can continue
to serve our patients with the best information and materials available.

We realize that people are busy with
their daily lives, so we send out reminder postcards when you are
due for your checkup and professional cleaning. We also give you
a courtesy call the day before to confirm your appointment.

We usually start seeing children on
a regular basis between the ages of 2 and 4. However, if you have
concerns or notice a problem, we recommend bringing your child
in no matter what his/her age. Baby teeth are just as important as
his/her adult teeth. We suggest bringing your child with you to
your
own appointments so that he/she can see how we work and what fun
it can be. We have a treasure box for the kids and also have a
few staff members who are trained animal balloon makers!

We offer a variety of payment options.
We accept cash, checks, major credit cards and debit cards. We provide
a cash courtesy discount for those who prefer to pay for their treatment
at their first visit. If you have insurance, we will also file your
insurance claim for you and can give you an estimate on your portion.

Our office offers several options for you to safely whiten your
teeth. Our most popular is the take-home treatment that you do
yourself in the privacy of your own home. The take-home treatment
can take up to two weeks, depending on your teeth. There are
a variety of cosmetic procedures available in our office that
can be done as well. We recommend a full exam and professional
cleaning before any whitening. At the exam, we will be happy
to discuss the different whitening options available.

YES! Bleeding gums are the first stage
of periodontal (gum) disease. If you notice a problem when brushing
or flossing, consulting us may prevent further damage to your teeth
and gums. Flossing helps prevent bleeding as well as decay. It is
important to follow your oral hygiene instructions that we have specifically
individualized for your teeth and gums to help prevent gum or other
problems.

There are several options available,
from cosmetic recontouring to veneers. An all-porcelain restoration
can change the shape, correct alignment and whiten your teeth to
give you the beautiful, natural smile you have always wanted. Call
us for a free consultation appointment so we can design a treatment
plan to fit your needs and to explain what is right for you.
