Frequently asked questions
Why should I choose your practice for my dental care?
We believe dental care should be about more than just fixing teeth. It’s about feeling comfortable, well-informed, and truly cared for. Dr. Nozaki is dedicated to staying on the cutting edge of dental technology, so you get the best possible treatment options. But we never lose sight of the human touch – your comfort and smile satisfaction is our top priority!
Do you accept my dental insurance?
We work with a wide range of popular PPO plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife, Guardian, and Cigna. The best way to know for sure is to give our team a call. We’re happy to verify your coverage and explain how to maximize your benefits before your visit!
What's the one thing I absolutely MUST do for good oral health?
Brush twice a day, floss every night, and see us for regular checkups! It sounds simple, but this routine is your best defense against cavities, gum problems, and more. Cleanings and exams let us catch issues early, saving you from bigger, more complicated (and expensive!) problems later.
I'm a bit nervous about my first appointment. What can I expect?
We totally get it! Our goal is to change how you feel about going to the dentist. We’ll start by getting to know you and any concerns you have. Expect a gentle cleaning, a thorough exam by Dr. Nozaki, and probably some X-rays. We’ll explain everything clearly and work with you to create a plan that puts you at ease.
I get major anxiety at the dentist. Do you have solutions?
Absolutely! We understand dental visits can be stressful, and we’re here to help. From extra-gentle techniques to laughing gas or sedation options, we tailor our approach to your comfort level. Our goal is to make your appointments as anxiety-free as possible, so you can actually relax while we take care of your smile.
Do you use the latest dental technology?
You bet we do! Dr. Nozaki is passionate about bringing patients the best of what modern dentistry offers. From digital X-rays for less radiation to 3D scanners for precise planning, we invest in technology that means more comfortable, effective, and long-lasting results for your smile.
