Commonly Asked Questions

Can I make an appointment even if I don’t have dental insurance? + –

Yes! We welcome patients with or without dental insurance. If you don’t have insurance, you can join our Membership Club. For a low monthly fee, you’ll get coverage on your cleanings and exams. Plus, you’ll enjoy discounts on other services. We have options for children, adults, and patients vulnerable to gum disease.

I am dealing with a dental emergency. Can you help? + –

Absolutely. We encourage you to make an appointment if you are dealing with any dental discomfort, damage, or tooth loss. Our team will try to see you on the same day whenever possible. Our goal is to get you out of pain first, then restore the health and function of your smile.

When can I bring my child in for an appointment? + –

Children as young as 2 years old are welcome at our practice. That sounds young, but the earlier you start prioritizing your child’s dental health, the better. Dr. Shumate can monitor their development and give you personalized tips as your child grows up. Your little one can also avoid orthodontic problems, thanks to our preventive solutions.
