We make getting the dental care you need convenient and affordable. Below you will find our payment options. If you ever have any questions, please give us a call!
Payment Options
At Dr. Morgan Nordstrom’s dental office, we accept cash, checks, and most credit cards for payment.
Insurance Plans Accepted
We accept all major insurance PPO plans and are a Delta Premier provider; however, we do not participate in-network with any other insurance plans. This allows us to work with our patients to determine what care they need without having treatment dictated to us by your insurance company.
We will always do all of the billing to your insurance company and do our best to maximize your benefits so that you get the coverage you deserve. If you have questions regarding your specific plan, please contact us and we will answer all of your questions.
We pride ourselves on having an exceptionally clean dental office and use hospital-grade sterilization techniques on all of our instruments. Our instruments are first scrubbed clean of debris, placed in an ultrasonic cleaner to wash away additional debris before being bagged and "cooked" in sterilizers. Each bag has an indicator that changes color when it receives enough heat to prove sterilization. That way we KNOW that our instruments are sterile and that you are safe. Also, we use state of the art antimicrobial wipes to clean the dental chairs, cabinets, counters etc.
Call us and let us help you out! Toothaches can be excruciating and generally get worse, not better. In the most severe cases, they can be life-threatening particularly for the young and elderly. If you feel something coming on or have been dealing with some sleepless nights we would love the opportunity to get you feeling right again.
Contact Our 94590 Dental Office
We always try to see toothaches the same day. Patients of record are able to speak to the Doctor on weekends and holidays if an ache arises unexpectedly. Most of the time we can either prescribe medication or do treatment to help your pain that same day!
Fluoride has been proven time and again to be one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent cavities. Fluoride is powerful because it bonds to the outside of the tooth making it stronger and preventing bacteria and acid from eating away at precious enamel.
Fluoride Treatments in 94590
Depending on whether or not you have active cavities, we may recommend an in-office fluoride treatment, or a take-home fluoride gel and toothpaste. Just like ALL substances (including water!!), fluoride can be poisonous in large doses. The doses we use in fluoride treatments are proven to be safe and effective.
Dr. Nordstrom and Dr. Vizzolini take pride in the conservative nature of their treatment. We only recommend treatment to you that we would recommend to our own families. We can outline your conditions and the available treatment options so that you can make the choice that works for your lifestyle and budget.
Insurance companies are in the business of profit and their recommendations are rarely in your best interest. In general, the average adult will need more yearly treatment than their insurance company will pay.
Importance of Preventative Dentistry
We recommend that you have frequent exams and take care of dental problems upon initial diagnosis to prevent further disease and potential discomfort. Taking a preventative approach to your oral health will save you time and money in the long run. Investing in the health of your teeth now can save you thousands of dollars, and hours in the dental chair, in the future.
If you decide to forgo treatment due to financial concerns, please let us know so that we can attempt to make an agreeable financial arrangement, allowing you to have your necessary dental care.
On your first visit, you should be prepared to:
- Fill out paperwork
- Take any necessary x-rays
- Have the Dr. examine your mouth which includes looking at your gums, teeth and soft tissue like your cheeks and tongue
- Discuss concerns and talk with the dentist about a custom treatment plan. If we have time, we will clean and polish your teeth.
- Finally, Julie or Patty will discuss any perceived insurance issues and discuss financial arrangements if necessary.
