Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept dental insurance?
Yes, Gooch Family Dental accepts many dental insurance plans to help make treatment more affordable. If you’re unsure whether your specific plan is accepted, we recommend giving us a call so we can check for you.
What financing options are available for treatment?
We offer flexible financing through CareCredit®, which allows you to spread out the cost of treatment with convenient monthly payments.
Do you offer a membership plan for patients without dental insurance?
Yes, we do. Our in-house membership plans are a great option for patients without insurance, helping you save on preventive care and other treatments throughout the year.
What ages do you treat at Gooch Family Dental?
We treat entire families, including children, teens, adults, and seniors.
Do you treat patients with special needs?
Yes. We welcome patients with special needs and are committed to providing compassionate, personalized care in a comfortable setting.
Can our entire family receive care at your practice?
Absolutely. We’re proud to be a family dental practice, and we’re here to care for every member of your household.
Is dental treatment painful?
We aim to minimize discomfort in every way possible through patient education, comfortable accommodations, and sedation options (like nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation) that help you feel relaxed during procedures.
Do you work with patients who experience dental anxiety or fear?
Yes. If you feel nervous about dental treatment, you’re not alone, and we’re here to help. We offer sedation dentistry and create a calm, supportive environment to make your visit as stress-free as possible.
How often should I schedule routine dental exams and cleanings?
The general rule of thumb is to have a checkup every six months. Some conditions like chronic gum disease may require more frequent checkups. After we assess your oral health, we can recommend a schedule of routine care designed to help you maintain excellent oral health for life.
Do you offer any same-day dental treatments?
Yes. Thanks to our advanced CEREC® technology, we can create and place dental crowns in just one visit, with no temporary crown needed.
Do you provide emergency dental care?
Dr. Gooch will do everything he can to schedule an emergency appointment. If he’s unavailable, we’ll make sure you’re taken care of by referring you to a trusted local provider.
