Frequently Asked Questions for New Patients

Do you accept my insurance?

We are in-network with many major plans, including Delta Dental, Moda, Blue Cross Blue Shield, MetLife, Aetna, Cigna, United, ODS, Providence Health Plan, Guardian, and Assurant. If you do not see your plan listed, contact us and we will check your benefits directly.

What happens during my first exam?

Your first visit includes a thorough exam, digital X-rays, and a conversation about your dental goals. Dr. Zavari takes time to listen before recommending anything, so you will leave with a clear picture of your oral health and a plan that fits your needs.

Do you see patients with dental anxiety?

Absolutely. Many of our patients describe themselves as nervous or dentist-averse, and we hear that without judgment. Our team moves at your pace, explains everything before it happens, and offers sedation options to help you feel at ease throughout your visit. You can also read what other patients have shared on our Patient Testimonials page.

How do I prepare if I have not seen a dentist in a while?

No special preparation is needed. Just bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and a list of any current medications. We see patients at every stage, including those returning after a long gap, and we focus on getting you healthy without any pressure or judgment.
