Emergency Care

If there is an urgent problem and you are currently a patient of record, please call our office at (815) 744-7175 and we will accommodate you as soon as possible. If the office is closed, you will be given specific instructions on how to obtain emergency advice or care.


Cancellations

Your appointment time is reserved especially for you. If you cannot keep your appointment, please give us at least 48 hours advance notice.


Patient Education

We feel patient education is very important. Our goal is that you are completely informed concerning your condition and any treatment that will be performed. We encourage you to ask any questions you may have.


Financial Policies

We understand financial pressures and strive to make treatment affordable by keeping our fees reasonable, and providing a variety of financial options.


Dental Insurance

In most cases, once a relationship has been established with your insurance company, we will accept assignment of your insurance benefits. This means that at the time of service, you will be asked to pay only the portion insurance is not expected to cover. We will then file your insurance for you and the benefits will come directly to us.


Payment Options

We have a variety of options to ensure payment of any portion not covered by insurance is affordable. We accept most major credit cards (MasterCard & Visa) and patient financing is available through Care Credit.

Financial Questions

Our insurance coordinator will be happy to answer any of your financial questions. She can be reached by calling our office at (815) 744-7175.

Our Staff

We are very fortunate to have long-term staff members who are devoted to making sure that you have a good experience while you are with us. Our staff is highly trained and strives to ensure you are comfortable at all times. Please feel free to express any questions or concerns to them.

Patient Safety

We take patient safety very seriously and adhere to the highest professional standards of cleanliness, sterilization, and radiation control. Our staff regularly attends safety seminars and is quite knowledgeable on the latest techniques.


Pre-medication

Patients with certain medical conditions (e.g. valvular heart conditions and artificial joints) may be asked to pre-medicate with antibiotics prior to treatment. We do this with your safety in mind. Please inform us if you have a condition that might need pre-medication.

Post Treatment Instructions

After treatment, home care and medication instructions will be thoroughly explained. For your convenience, you will also be given printed instructions. Of course, we are always available for questions after treatment.


Patient Comfort

We go to extraordinary lengths to ensure our patients are as comfortable as possible during dental procedures. Please see the Procedures Page for more information on this.

In addition, for your convenience, we offer audio headphones with a wide selection of music/radio.
