Lines for a specific treatment may be shorter than another. For example: We will have oral surgeons who are only providing extractions and hygienists who are only providing cleanings. The line for extractions is generally shorter than the hygiene cleanings. If you are waiting for a hygiene cleaning, someone who arrived after you for an extraction may be seen before you are.
Limited Capacity
We will only have a limited amount of extractions, cleanings and fillings for the day. If a treatment you want is no longer available, we highly recommend continuing to have your dental exam with us. You may possibly require a treatment other than what you expected to have. If all services are booked for the day, we recommend having a dental exam in order for you to assess what treatments you should receive elsewhere. We will also have a list of sources to receive low or no-cost dentistry around the city.
