New Patients:
Your first visit will consist of a full evaluation with appropriate x-rays. We want to be sure we understand all of the issues that concern you.
Your overall health is an important aspect of dentistry. Please be sure to inform us of any allergies, all prescribed medications, major illnesses, and hospitalizations.
New Patient Forms:
please print and fill out before first visit.
Insurance:
Our office coordinates claims from a majority of dental insurance companies and handles all aspects of submitting insurance claims. We will actively pursue any appeals on your behalf.
Dr. Burton participates in Delta Dental and Blue Cross Dental.
Depending on the terms of your policy, there may be co-payments that are the responsibility of the patient. We make every effort to keep you informed of these co-payments prior to treatment. Co-payments are due on the date of service. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to inquire at any time.
We are CareCredit providers. We will work with you to help you reach your treatment goals while working within your budget.
Emergencies:
For patients of record, we make every effort to treat dental emergencies on the day you call. On weekends and holidays, patients can reach Dr. Burton by calling the office telephone number, 401-353-4880, and following the instructions.
X-Rays:
We use digital x-rays, which reduce overall radiation by 75% over film. We generally require a full mouth x-ray series at your initial examination and yearly bitewing x-rays (2-4 exposures) to detect decay between teeth. If you have a full series from a previous dentist that was taken within the last three years, we will be able to use that in lieu of a new full series. We will be glad to contact your prior dentist on your behalf.
