Office hours
7:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Thursday
New Patient Comprehensive Exam
Our new patient appointment with Dr. Twomey is 60-minutes long, on average. Dr. Twomey may request to make a complete set of x-rays, clinical photographs, and models of your teeth if needed. Dr. Twomey will present you with a clear picture of your oral health and will explain the options available so you can make an informed decision regarding correcting any issues, if any. Additional fees for x-rays, models, etc., do apply and our financial coordinator will work with you to inform you of these charges beforehand.
At subsequent check-up exams, such as a professional dental cleaning, Dr. Twomey and his team will perform the following: an examination of digital radiographs, oral cancer screening, gum-disease evaluation, examination for tooth decay, and examination of existing restorations. Professional dental cleaning will include the removal of tartar and plaque and teeth polishing.
Insurance information
Insurance payments are accepted. We will do everything possible to help you maximize your benefits. However, we are considered out-of-network for all insurance providers and plans, but many patients are eligible for out-of-network benefits depending on their individual insurance. Patients are responsible for the difference between the actual insurance payment and the fee.
Payment options
In our office, you have a variety of financial options from which to choose.
The office accepts the following:
- Cash

- Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express® or Discover®
Payment in full is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made.
The following payment options are also available to you:
- A 5% courtesy on statements of $500 or more that is paid in full by cash or check prior to or at the time of the first treatment appointment. (Maximum discount of $1000)
- In treatment plans involving multiple appointments, 50% is due on the day of initial treatment and the balance paid when treatment is completed. The office team will discuss these payment options with you.
- For patients who wish to pay for treatment over an extended period of time, we offer a payment plan that is administered by CareCredit. An interest-free option is available. The office staff will provide you with the details.
