Question 1

Do you accept my insurance?

Accepted Answer

We're in-network with Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, BCBS MN, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Guardian, and most major plans. For out-of-network we file claims for you. Call us with your card and we'll verify your benefits.

Question 2

Do you see kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we're a true family practice and see kids starting at age 1 (first visit). Dr. Whitaker is wonderful with anxious kids and we have warm, kid-friendly chairs and exam rooms. Many families come for the kids and stay for adult care.

Question 3

Do you see emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Same-day, every weekday. Even if you're not a current patient, we'll work you in for severe pain, broken teeth, or knocked-out teeth. Call as soon as you can — early calls get earlier slots.

Question 4

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for uninsured patients and for larger restorative work, we offer in-house 6 and 12-month no-interest payment plans. We also work with CareCredit for longer-term financing on bigger cases.

Question 5

Do you offer sedation for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Yes — both oral sedation (medication taken before your appointment) and laughing gas (nitrous oxide) are available for anxious patients. Just tell us in advance — many of our long-term patients started with sedation and now come without it.
