Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Hi I know how wisdom teeth can hurt. It should be not too complicated from what you said so far. Please call my office for a consultation. We could work with your budget and have interest free payment plan. Don''''t wait till you have infection or abscess. It could make your present problem worse.

Thank you for your email! You indicated that you are interested in finding out more about getting your wisdom teeth removed. The Internet can do a lot, but without the benefit of seeing you in person it is difficult to determine the time, cost and treatment options for your smile. However in our office Dr. Hartley would have to refer you out for any extractions because we do not do them here.The best option and our recommended approach is to have a consult with Dr. Hartley. Then we can prepare a detailed, customized treatment plan for you. The fee for a New Patient Exam is $114. This includes a comprehensive exam by Dr. Hartley, study models and digital photos.We are a fee-for-service office and Dr. Hartley is an out-of network provider for dental insurance, therefore fees would need to be paid at the time of service, and as a courtesy we send an insurance claim to your provider and request that reimbursement be sent directly to you.Please give us a call if you have any other questions or if youd like to schedule an appointment.
