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.
