Peter is absolutely THE BEST there is! From his caring and attentive bedside manner to his extensive knowledge in his field, he knows exactly what you need and treats you like you’re his only patient each visit. I never feel rushed and would actually love to stay at his new office for hours because it’s sooo beautiful and relaxing – it takes away the fear I have had of going to the dentist all my life and instead I feel like I’m at a spa.

The Rinaldi Dental Arts Process

  • Consultation Visit
  • New Patient Visit
  • Hygiene Visit

Consultation Visit

Perhaps you have a specific desire to improve your smile, have TMJ/TMD pain, or feel that Invisalign may be right for you, simply call to set up a meeting with one of our expert doctors to discuss what is possible for you. At this visit, you will have the opportunity to discuss your questions and concerns. We may take photographs to show you the possible cause of your concerns. Then our treatment coordinator can direct you to your next step, depending on our findings and what will be for you to continue forward.

New Patient Visit

If you would like to become a part of our practice, you can set up a full initial examination with one of our doctors. At this visit, we will perform a comprehensive examination. This would include the gathering of records. Our doctors use digital x-rays, digital scanning, photographs, clinical charting, and other means to customize a treatment plan specifically for you. Together we can discuss your concerns if any, and possible future treatment if needed. Your treatment coordinator will be happy to discuss financial arrangements and schedule any future appointments if needed.

Hygiene Visit

A visit to the Hygienist is not just for cleaning anymore. This is because of all the recent studies that have emerged relating our oral health to our systemic health. Tooth and gum cleanings are done to reduce inflammation. Studies show that nearly half of all heart attacks and ischemic strokes could be prevented with complete health dental treatment.

Oral DNA testing has pinpointed which of the major 7 bacteria cause gum infections and inflammation. The tests are simply done with saliva samples. The results from these tests allow your hygienist to customize the gum and tooth treatment specifically for you. Thus, increasing the potential to decrease oral inflammation. If a patient desires, these tests can be done to provide indicators for potential systemic problems done the road.

Our Financial Policy

 

Our Commitment to Excellence

At Rinaldi Dental Arts, our commitment to providing a high-level experience and treatment is reflected by us being a fee-for-service office. We respect that our patients have insurance that may cover certain procedures and we are sensitive to the benefits that patients deserve to receive from their insurance companies. Fee-for-service means that our patients pay upfront at the time of the visit. But fee-for-service also means that we can provide very high-end, top quality treatment that is tailored to the patient, not dictated by an insurance company. The choice for providing what is the best dental health care is controlled by us and our patients. We promise that we will always be upfront about any fees prior to beginning any treatment.

In addition, so more patients can get the beautiful and healthy smile they deserve, we do offer financing plans which offer low monthly payment plans.

Regarding Insurance Benefits

We are happy to submit insurance claims for you. After we submit the claim, the insurance company will reimburse you directly for however much they cover on the treatment you received. As with many dental providers, our fees may exceed the amount insurance carriers pay. Your dental insurance is a benefit plan contract between you and your insurance carrier. Your contract specifies what procedures are covered and how much benefit is assigned for any given procedure. However, we will provide all the necessary documentation to support your claim, so you receive the maximum benefit allowed. Because it is a contract, no one has more power when managing problems with your dental insurance company than you, the premium payer. Please feel free to rely on us as a knowledgeable and experienced source of information regarding dental insurance.
