Yes, we offer handicap parking, ramps, elevator and wide doorways for wheelchairs.

We have only 1 dentist, Dr. Rutecki. We operate as a family-owned dental office with a comfortable atmosphere rather than a corporate type office.

While an upper denture is held in by suction, there are very few muscles or “moving parts.” Suction is not possible on a lower denture due to less surface area to cover and there are many “moving parts” such as your tongue, cheeks and lips, which easily dislodge a lower denture. Some people can wear a lower denture with no problem, and others only find comfort with implants and a snap-in overdenture. This is where dental implants prove very useful.

New restorations (fillings) are commonly sensitive from a couple of days to multiple weeks, depending on the depth/extent of the filling and materials used. **If your bite feels off, call the office for an appointment to check the bite of your new filling. If a filling is hitting too hard, it will cause additional sensitivity and may damage the tooth.** While we make every effort to adjust your bite at the end of your filling appointment, numbness could prevent you from giving us feedback.

Premedication requirements continuously change based on current findings in the medical community research. The current recommendations for anyone with an artificial joint replacement is not required to pre-med before dental procedures. Many conditions that used to require pre-med no longer do. Contact our office for specifics.

Few people have true allergies to materials used in the mouth. Many times, it may be additional factors that affected you to have a reaction. There are many alternatives materials we may use to avoid any reactions. Partials can be made nickel-free, which is our most common allergy issue. We do not use metal fillings in our office.

No insurance is best for all dental procedures. Some insurance plans may reimburse well for one thing (i.e. fillings) but may be unusable for others (i.e. extractions, dentures). Variations may exist between 2 coworkers with the same insurance company, but signed up for slightly different options.

Simple answer - NO. By not signing, we are not authorized to file any of your insurance or call your insurance company on your behalf to fight for payment. We cannot discuss treatment or financial arrangements with anyone unless you authorize them on this form. We have tried to make the current paperwork as easy to understand as possible. Your personal information will not be given out to any entity without your need and knowledge. We do not partake in any research or surveys that would involve personal information.
