Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should I start bringing my child to the dentist?

Dentist for kids Dr. Boe and the American Dental Association both recommend children be seen as soon as they get their first tooth. This visit will involve a knee-to-knee exam, which means your child sits on your lap and lays back so Dr. Boe can do a brief exam of his/her teeth. We will educate you on how to properly care for your child’s teeth and proper nutrition that will lead to a healthy mouth.

Do you take my dental insurance?

As a courtesy to our patients, we submit all dental insurance claims. We are a preferred provider for many dental insurance plans. We always work with our patients to make sure they are making the best use of the benefits that they have.

Do you do implants?

Yes we do all aspects of implant dentistry from extractions to placement of an implant as well as restoring implants with a permanent crown.  It is not common to be able to have all of these procedures done in a general dental office but we are fortunate to have doctors skilled in all of these procedures.

Do you do porcelain veneers?

Dr. Boe is also a cosmetic dentist. Sometimes porcelain veneers are the best choice and other times a full crown will give the best result. Dr. Boe works with our patients to make these decisions and we have had many outstanding results and happy patients.
