Two hours together, a full workup, and a conversation — then you leave with the full picture before any decisions are made.
Call (228) 875-3343 to schedule your 2-hour consultation · Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM – 2:30 PM CT
The first visit is two hours. Here’s why.
A rushed first visit tells you very little. Ours is designed to give us — and you — enough information to actually plan your care.
In those two hours, we cover:
- Comprehensive x-rays and intraoral photographs
- Saliva testing and DNA testing for the specific bacteria living in your mouth
- Phase-contrast microscopy, so we can see the biology, not guess at it
- A complete medical history, including a medical A1C if relevant
- An unhurried conversation with Dr. Buntyn about what’s brought you in, what you want, and what you’ve been told before
Two weeks later, we sit down and walk through everything.
While you’re away, we work through what we found — the x-rays, the testing, your history — and build out a comprehensive plan. When you come back, Dr. Buntyn walks you through everything on a big screen in one of our operatories. You see your mouth, your options, and the honest trade-offs. No pressure, no closer.
That’s where the decisions get made, together.
We are fee-for-service, and here’s what the first visit costs.
The two-hour first visit, the diagnostics, and the 30-minute follow-up consult come in under $500 together.
If that number is a surprise, it’s worth saying out loud: we are not in any insurance networks. That is deliberate. It lets us do the longer visits, the real testing, and the honest conversations without a third party deciding what gets covered.
For patients who want that kind of care, it works. For patients who are shopping on price, it won’t, and that’s okay.
Once you’re a patient here, we offer a 5% discount if you pay ahead for a plan. CareCredit is available if you need to spread payments. If you have out-of-network dental benefits, we will give you everything you need to submit for reimbursement from your insurer directly — we just do not bill them ourselves.
