Services
Serving our patients includes providing information that helps them to make more informed decisions about their oral health needs.
We encourage you to involve yourself in your own treatment and ask questions throughout our relationship.
In our opinion, an informed and involved patient is most likely to achieve the highest level of healthcare.
Q: How much will my insurance pay on the dental work?
A: All insurances are different so the percentage won't be the same, but insurance rarely covers 100% of your dental costs.

Dr. Higginson and staff are top notch!
I had a broken crown from years past and took the opportunity to replace 3 at the same time.
I absolutely love my new smile.
Every attention to detail was given and they are a work of art.
Quality, down to earth people, fair prices and extremely excellent craftsmanship.
