We work with a number of the most popular insurance carriers to maximize your benefits and help you get the dental care you need. It is important to know your plan's coverage and benefits before treatment as dental insurance rarely covers 100% of treatment. If you have questions about your coverage, contact your insurance company and we will then help you calculate any out-of-pocket expenses.

Natural teeth have pits and grooves that are sometimes difficult to clean. Take a look at figure 1. It shows a magnified view of what it looks like when the tip of a toothbrush bristle reaches the groove of a tooth. It is unable to clean deep down inside the grooves of our teeth. This is when sealants come into play. Sealant, a resin material, are used as a preventative restoration and seal the grooves as depicted in figure 2. This way, cavity along the pits and grooves of our teeth can be prevented.
In fact, an article from this August's The Journal of the American Dental Association encourages clinicians to increase the use of sealants since they:
- are effective in preventing pit-and-fissure cavity when compared to no sealants or just fluoride varnish applications.
- can minimize the progression of initial cavity lesions if enamel is not compromised.
It is time to think and plan ahead with preventative measures in order to protect your teeth from cavities!
Starting November of 2016, we will be launching our Formosa TotalCare Program for all of our active patients. Upon completion of necessary preventative care, patients will receive our usual care package, which consists of toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and sample mouthwash.
Our toothpaste tubes will change from sample size to full-sized tubes. We have also recently upgraded our sample floss to full-size floss! Manual toothbrushes will be provided to our patients. For patients who either received or purchased Philips Sonicare toothbrushes through us, brush heads will be provided instead as part of the package at every recall.
With our TotalCare Program, the goal is to provide our patients continuous care from our office to home. Best of all, there is no additional cost for our patients! We will make the purchases so that our patients won't have to. There is no catch! All of this will be provided to you at our cost simply because we are grateful and appreciate all of our patients' loyalty and trust. This is the least we can do! Don't hesitate, join us!
