Here on the blog, we’ve been discussing the ways that Dr. Simmons removes the confusion and anxiety that can sometimes accompany dental 
examinations and diagnoses. Today we’ll take a look at the process that occurs after Dr. Simmons has assessed your mouth and talked with you about the condition of your teeth and gums.
You should know…
1. Restoring your health is our number one priority. When you come to us for basic treatment or with a dental issue, we won’t urge procedures you don’t need for fundamental health (like cosmetic dentistry) or insist that you complete all facets of your treatment plan immediately. Dr. Simmons will outline your most basic needs and solve those problems with you first.
2. Treatment often occurs in phases. One size does not fit all! Since Dr. Simmons customizes and prioritizes your treatment, together you can devise a plan that allows you to fit dental care into your lifestyle and budget. You may decide to spread treatment out among a matter of weeks or even months, depending on your situation and Dr. Simmons’ recommendation.
3. You can afford dental health. Whether you’re covered by insurance, use a credit card, or you pay through CareCredit’s patient financing service, dental care is within your reach. At Dr. Simmons’ practice, our true desire is ensuring you obtain the dentistry you need, and our financial options were designed with that in mind. Our front office staff will gladly discuss the choices if you need any help.
4. Maintenance is the key. After you complete treatments and are enjoying restored oral health, remember that the next step is to continue good dental hygiene at home and keep regular appointments with Dr. Simmons. We’ll advise you about the best ways to brush and floss, as well as any other maintenance your dental work might require.
