Our Approach: Comfortable, Personalized, and Affordable
We work with your insurance to provide the best dental care possible. Even though we understand dental insurance does not cover all procedures we do not believe in cutting corners in your dental care. The prevalence of these treatments often results in substantial coverage by dental insurance plans, making them accessible to many patients. Recognizing this coverage can offer peace of mind and encourage individuals to prioritize their oral health. Insurers understand the financial benefits of addressing dental issues promptly, as delaying treatment often leads to increased costs later on.
​
​
Overlap with Other Dental Categories:
While our focus remains on general dental care, our services frequently complement cosmetic or restorative treatments within comprehensive care plans. For instance, a smile transformation may involve teeth alignment with aligners (Invisalign) and enhancing uniformity through bonding. Each patient's dental needs and goals vary, leading to an overlap between general dentistry and other specialized areas.
​
​
Professional Expertise:
All dentists receive foundational training in general dentistry during dental school, irrespective of their eventual specialization. Dr. Karapasha is also certified and accredited to provide Invisalign and Botox cosmetic procedures in addition to general dentistry. Additionally, his staff are EFDA's (expanded functions dental assistants) which help Dr. Karapasha during his procedures.
​
​
Promoting Overall Health:
The intricate relationship between oral health and overall well-being underscores the importance of general dentistry. Beyond addressing dental issues, our examinations may uncover indicators of broader health concerns, such as temporomandibular joint problems, high blood pressure, oral pathology, or signs of sleep disorders. Thus, our inquiries extend beyond teeth and gums to encompass holistic health assessments.
​
​
Non-Invasive Care:
Our commitment to patient comfort extends to the non-invasive measures incorporated into general dentistry. Diagnostic evaluations, including occlusal assessments, form a vital component of our services. Furthermore, the administration of local anesthesia and light sedation, tailored to individual needs, enhances the dental experience across various procedures.
​
​
Emphasizing Prevention:
Preventive dentistry serves as a cornerstone in our practice, aiming to avert dental issues before they escalate. Dr. K believes patient education plays a pivotal role, encompassing guidance on home dental care practices and dietary habits. Regular dental cleanings, fluoride applications, and the provision of custom mouthguards further fortify our preventive approach.
