So, maybe going to the dentist won't ever ever be your favorite thing, but don't be surprised when appointments with Dr. Knabe become a pleasant experience instead of something to dread.
Dr. Knabe believes that when you go to your dental appointment you shouldn't wonder which dentist you are going to see or what is going to be done.

The ultimate decision about what to use is best determined in consultation with your doctor.
Before your treatment begins, discuss the options with your doctor.
To help you prepare for this discussion it is helpful to understand the two basic types of dental fillings: direct and indirect.
Traditional dental restoratives (fillings) include gold, porcelain, and composite/amalgam.
The strength and durability of traditional dental materials continue to make them useful for situations where restored teeth must withstand extreme forces that result from chewing, such as in the back of the mouth.

Patients with dental insurance receive out-of-network benefits.
Even though our office is out-of-network, we work to ensure patients receive the highest coverage possible under their insurance plans.
Payment Policy Once our office establishes a working relationship with a patient's insurance carrier, we accept assignment of benefits directly to our office.
We think it is a good idea to submit a pre-determination of benefits to your insurance company for more involved dental treatment so we know the patients exact portion before we begin.

Everyone's favorite dental appointment is their hygiene visit because they get to walk away confident with their brightly polished teeth and fresh-smelling breath, but while the appointment may seem like a breeze, there is actually a lot happening that is imperative to maintaining your long-term dental health.
Your hygiene appointment is arguably the most important dental visit you will have, which is why Dr. Knabe will always be at this appointment.
Health Update: Many things other than hygiene habits can impact your dental health, so Dr. Knabe will talk with you about medical changes, medications, or diet changes that could be affecting your teeth.
