What payment options do you offer?
We accept cash, check, most major credit cards, and third party financing through CareCredit. Our goal is to make dentistry affordable for you. We'll be happy to work with you to develop a plan that will make your dental care fit within your budget.
Do you accept dental insurance?
We will gladly file your out-of-network dental claim and work to secure optimal benefits for you. If you have dental insurance, call us to discuss how your plan works in our office.
What cosmetic dental procedures do you offer?
We provide the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures available today. This includes porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and more. Visit our Services page to learn about the exciting options you have for improving your smile.
What are white or invisible fillings?
White fillings are made from composite resin, a liquid material that we tint to match a patient's damaged tooth – so they are invisible to the naked eye. In addition to being inconspicuous, white fillings contain no mercury, a heavy metal found in amalgams. Learn more about tooth-colored fillings here.
How can gum disease negatively impact overall health?
It hides in your mouth, destroying gum tissue and teeth, and it can lead to strokes, heart attacks, and pregnancy complications. Don’t think it’s your problem? Conservative estimates report that up to 80 percent of the population unknowingly has gum disease in some form. Learn more…
What options do I have to replace missing teeth?
We offer bridgework, partials, full dentures, and implant restorations to replace missing teeth. Learn more about these services on our services page, then call for a consultation. With X-rays, intraoral photos, and a thorough assessment of your dentition, the dentist can help you decide which replacement option will be best for you.
Does Dr. Arima see children?
Absolutely. We enjoy creating gorgeous, healthy smiles for patients of any age. If we find that your child – or you, for that matter – would benefit from seeing a specialist, we'll refer to a trusted colleague. Some children deal with dental appointments better at a pedodontist's office, that's what a children's dentist is called. We also refer patients who have extensive dental problems, like advanced periodontitis or problematic root canals, to specialist for optimal care. As a general dentist office, our preventive, restorative, prosthetic, and cosmetic dental services include treatments suitable for patients of all ages.
