Hello Joanne! I'm afraid we do not have an orthodontist on staff. I'm sorry!

Hi Brittney! Yes, we do tooth extractions. We don't technically have a sliding fee scale, but may be able to offer some kind of financial assistance depending on your situation. Please call one of our front desk folks and they will be able to give you more information - 828-252-4290. We look forward to talking with you!

Hi Jean! Yes, we accept United Healthcare insurance. Let let us know if we can be of service.

Hi Joy! Yes, we accept Humana and Medicare. We do have a fairly long wait time right now for new patients at our Biltmore office, but we could get you in quicker at our Columbus office. Just call if we can help!

UPDATE - Just heard back from our practice administrator and we do indeed take Humana. We have two office locations - one in Asheville and a brand new, state of the art office in Columbus. Both are taking new patients. The Asheville office has a fairly long wait list, but Columbus is able to get folks in a bit quicker. Just let us know how we can help you! Hi Joy! We accept almost all major insurance so I feel almost certain we accept Humana. I have reached out to our practice administrator to double check and will let you know as soon as I hear back from her. Thanks for your question!

Hello! Yes, both of our dental offices (Biltmore and Columbus) accept NC Medicaid. Please call us if we can be of service!

Hi Diane! Thanks for your question. I wish there was a simple answer :-) New patients need a comprehensive exam (and xrays if you don't have any to send us from another dentist), and then the cleaning. So it really depends on what "level" of cleaning you end up needing. If you have insurance it’s likely the cost will be covered at 100%. If you don't have insurance, we offer a 25% discount for self-pay patients. Our front desk folks will be glad to talk with you and give you more concrete information based on your current situation. Feel free to call them at 828-252-4290.

Hi Ashley! We do not take walk-ins. But most days we have a few same-day appointment slots available if you call first thing (we open at 8am). If you're a new patient, a same day appointment may not be an option since we would need to do an comprehensive exam to establish a treatment plan. Hope that helps!

Good morning! We do offer oral conscious sedation to some patients (depends on multiple factors) but we cannot put you to sleep with general anesthesia. Please feel free to call our practice manager, Sherri, directly at 828-398-5904 to discuss options that might work for you!

Hello Clara! It would depend on the complexity of the root canal. Some root canals require an endodontist. Our scheduling specialists can ask you some questions over the phone to help determine the best plan.....please feel free to call us at 252-4290 and we'll be glad to try to help you. The user who posted below is incorrect - I double checked with our dental practice manager and NC Medicaid DOES cover root canals for children up to age 21. Please call us if we can be of assistance!

Hi Jimmy, thank you for your question! We do not accept auto pay. Self pay patients need to pay up front with cash, check or major credit card. We also accept most major insurances, including Medicaid and will file insurance for you. Let us know if you have other questions!

Hi Jeff, we're having issues with AT&T today. If you're calling from a cell phone and hear silence when you call, that's why. We've alerted AT&T to the problem but don't have an estimated time that it might be fixed. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! If you want to give me your number I'll be happy to have someone call you back.

You would have to call them. They have a very friendly office staff that can answer this.

Please ask for Tammy Gordon when you call. She'll be able to ask you some details and give you correct information.

Good morning Samantha! You'll need to speak to one of our business office staff to get details on what your copay would be. And while we do accept Medicaid, we can only accept a certain number of new Medicaid patients each month. Our phone number is 252-4290. Monday mornings are quite busy, so you might want to wait until this afternoon to call. We look forward to talking with you!
