Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How can we help you?

How early should I come for my appointment?

For the first appointment it is recommended that you come 15 minutes early.  This is to ensure that all of your patient information is properly completed and that we can go over and billing questions you may have.  For all other appointments, if you wish to arrive a little early, there is a great chance that we will see you early, also.

Am I going to have to wait long?

I can honestly say that there is a much better chance that we will be ready for you before your appointment time than ask you to come back late.  There are rare exceptions, as, sometimes, we need to see emergencies on short notice, or a patient has a concern that takes longer than planned, but, we will do the same for you if the need arises.  We respect your time and pride ourselves on being timely.

Do I need to take premedication?

If you are asking this question there is a good chance you have either had a heart condition or a joint replacement.  If you are aware that you need to based on your cardiologist or orthopedic recommendation, then yes, please do.  If you don't know, but have had heart troubles or joint surgeries, please ask that doctor, as they will be able to direct you best based on your specific needs.  I usually ask that the patient ask their doctor for their recommendation and have them write you a prescription for the premedication as it is by their directive that you are taking it.

How do I schedule an appointment?

The best way is to call 989-686-9600.  In talking with you, and hearing your wants, our experienced staff can best find what care you need and how to best appoint you.  We do offer text messaging and email communication that can also be used to schedule appointments, but the best way is by phone.

Cosmetic Dentistry

How we feel about the appearance of our smile is important to our metal state.  Most of our work is cosmetic in nature, so we always have appearance in mind when completing your treatment. We use our countless hours of skill and teamwork, along with our labs and specialists, to offer services as simple as tooth colored fillings or the recontouring a chipped tooth, to full orthodontic treatments and porcelain coverings for your teeth to create the smile you've always wanted.     

Dental Implants

Dental implants are usually used to replace missing teeth. They can be used individually to replace a single missing tooth, with multiple to replace a number of teeth, or to help hold in or support dentures.  We provide complete implant treatment in our office for most cases.

Emergency Dentistry

Yes! We don't like people in pain.  Dr. Green will make time in his schedule for people in pain whether they are an existing patient or new to the practice.

Same-Day Crowns

A crown is a full cover for a tooth that has significant damage to the natural tooth structure.  In most practices this process involves 2 appointments a couple weeks apart, while you wear a temporary crown.  In our office, we scan, design, manufacture and place the final crown all at the same appointment.  This process saves you time and is more comfortable all while using the same materials the longer process uses.

Same-Day Dentures

It means you get your denture the same day that we take out your last remaining teeth.  That, however, doesn't mean only 1 appointment.  In order for you to get the best fit and appearance of your denture there are a few measurement, selection and viewing appointments leading up to that same-day denture appointment.
