My experience at this office was awesome from start to finish. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable and very compassionate and caring.

Colleen Purcell
★★★★★

I avoided the dentist for almost 9 years… Dr. Cornetta is so kind and compassionate. He understood my anxiety related to the dentist better than I did! He truly changed the way I perceive going to the dentist.

Megan
★★★★★

There is no pressure to have things done immediately. All the pricing is right up front so there’s no sticker shock later. A very comfortable environment, everything was very clean.

Michelle Brown
★★★★★

This was honestly the best experience at a dentist office I’ve had… he really made me feel like my time mattered, taking his time with an examination then going over everything with me.

Andy Babbitt

Dental insurance & financing

We make it easy

Important dental care shouldn’t turn into a giant headache when it comes to paying. We work closely with patients to navigate their budget, take advantage of dental insurance benefits, and avoid unnecessary financial stress through payment plans.

We do all the legwork to make sure your benefits are always used to their fullest extent — predictable and seamless, so there are never any surprises.

We offer an in-house membership plan, and can help you sign up for third-party financing through CareCredit.

Our dental team

We’re here to help you smile

Advanced technology is good to have, but it’s our warm, thoughtful staff that really makes the difference. Your questions will always be answered, and we’ll help ease any anxiety or fear about treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Call our practice first — we offer same-day appointments so you receive the urgent care you need. Most emergency rooms aren’t equipped to handle dental emergencies, which is why it’s best to get in touch with an emergency dentist. Regular visits can help prevent future emergencies, saving you time and money in the long run.

The best way to get a quick response is by phone rather than email — a call lets us understand your situation and get you the care you need. In some cases, advanced treatments can even be performed during a same-day appointment.

Prevention is the cornerstone of dentistry and the most affordable way to avoid serious dental issues. Make full use of dental insurance if you have it. Our practice also offers an in-house membership plan, and we can help you sign up for CareCredit to split the cost of your care into smaller monthly installments.

Start with what matters to you — insurance and payment options, location, credentials, safety, cleanliness and convenient hours — and the type of care you need. Then read patient reviews and the bios of the doctors and staff, and look for custom photos and videos that show the practice and its atmosphere.
