Frequently Asked Questions

What if I am not ready for a "comprehensive exam?"

Please call if you have some specific need! Broken tooth? Considering orthodontia? Want a whiter smile? Call for an appointment. We don't require that a patient start with the comprehensive exam, because we know that not everyone is in a position to address all their dental needs right away.

 

We'd be pleased to establish a relationship with you. Then, when you're ready for the next steps in dental care, you'll know us and trust us!

 

Can I pay you in installments?

We do not offer our own financing, but we gladly accept payments through www.carecredit.com, a tried-and-true service. 

 

We also accept Visa, MasterCard, checks and cash for any fees not covered by insurance.

 

Along with Dr Margiotta, who works at Dental Artistry of Walnut Creek?

Dr. Margiotta's top notch staff includes the office manager, two registered dental assistants, and a dental hygienist. Also part of our "team" are care providers such as local dental specialists and top local and national dental laboratories.

 

What if I need a root canal or something like that? Do I have to go to a specialist?

Dr. Margiotta performs many such procedures. He keeps himself educated in techniques and procedures, and invests in the technology required. Remember, patient comfort is a top priority at Dental Artistry of Walnut Creek! That extends to offering you the convenience of personalized care, allowing you to relax with a dentist you know and trust.

 

For procedures outside Dr. Margiotta's areas of expertise, he can refer you to the best specialists.
