Questions about the visits
Do I need an exam before a guard?
Yes. Dr. Okada looks at your teeth, gums and bite first, then tells you whether a guard makes sense.
What don't you do?
Cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals and tooth removal are outside what this office does. Dr. Okada says so at your visit and can send your records to the dentist you choose.
How is it billed?
You get a written estimate before anything is made, and a receipt after each visit.
