Digital X-Rays
Using the most advanced dental technology possible is just as important as staying up-to-date on the latest treatment techniques. Because our practice is dedicated to providing you with the safest and most convenient treatment options available, we utilize advanced digital X-ray technology in our office.
Digital X-rays provide several advanced imaging options designed to save time, provide clearer dental photos, and expose patients to less radiation than traditional X-ray technology.
See Your Dentist Often
Every single person should have a dentist and see that dentist often. Following the American Dental Association’s recommendation, you should visit your dentist at least twice a year or more if you have oral health issues. For a service like Dental Botox, Dentures, or Sleep Apnea Appliances – come see us when you are ready to receive more information on these services.
Membership FAQ
Benefits
What are some of the advantages of the Parkview Dental Membership Program over a standard dental insurance policy?
There are several benefits of joining our Parkview Dental Membership program, including:
- There is no age restriction on dental sealants. Typically, insurance companies will cover sealants for children but not for adults. However, adults enrolled in our Parkview Membership will receive a 33% discount on sealants, which are effective at preventing tooth decay (cavities) that require more expensive restorative treatment (such as fillings) down the line.
- Insurance companies typically do not provide coverage for nitrous oxide gas, which can be an effective alternative to numbing injections for alleviating pain or sensitivity during dental procedures. Parkview Members will receive a 25% discount on nitrous gas.
- Insurance companies typically only offer coverage for bitewing X-rays once every three years. However, bitewing X-rays are often needed more often than that, and patients are required to pay out of pocket for any additional bitewing X-rays needed during those three years. Our members will always receive a 23% discount on ALL bitewing X-rays.
- Insurance companies generally never cover cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening or orthodontics. Our members will receive a 50% discount on any teeth whitening procedures and up to a 50% discount on other cosmetic procedures like resin veneers, Invisalign, and other orthodontics.
Does the membership cover fillings and crowns?
Even though our membership is NOT an insurance policy, members will NEVER pay full price for any procedure. All members will receive a 15%-50% discount on all procedures, including fillings and crowns
