You can find their contact information on the website or in any previous communications you received from them.
It’s also best practice to ask your office about their rescheduling policy. It’s better to ask upfront than to be surprised later.
Can I schedule a first appointment just for a cleaning?
To give you the best dental care possible, your Celebrate Dental & Braces dentist will first perform an initial exam. After they have a fuller picture of your oral health, they’ll create a treatment plan for you and can schedule your appointment for a dental cleaning.
Types of appointments
How do I schedule an appointment with an oral surgeon?
Call or visit your Celebrate Dental & Braces office to contact an oral surgeon. They’ll help you take care of everything. It’s important to also note that not every Celebrate Dental & Braces location has an oral surgeon. Call your local office to find out if they have an oral surgeon at that location.
How do I schedule an appointment for a root canal with an endodontist?
The best way to schedule an appointment for a root canal is to contact your local Celebrate Dental & Braces office. To see an endodontist, you will first need a referral from a dentist.
How long is a dental cleaning appointment?
The duration of your dental hygiene appointment is dependent on your oral health status and the presence of any oral infection or gum inflammation. The exact length can vary based on your oral health status, the presence of any dental issues and how thorough the cleaning process needs to be.
I'm pregnant, can I come in for a cleaning?
Yes, it’s important to maintain optimal oral health during pregnancy. Before your first visit, you must get a release form from your primary care doctor or OB/GYN indicating that you can visit a dental office. If your OB/GYN and you are comfortable with getting dental x-rays, we can do that for you – we use lead apron protection over the neck, chest, and abdomen for all patients. If you are having pain, your dentist will most likely recommend an x-ray. Research has indicated that it is very safe to visit the dentist for regular care in the 2nd trimester. If you need emergency dental care, call us regardless of your trimester.

Is the dentist in the office licensed?

On my insurance website, I see hundreds of dentists listed at your location. Is that true?
Your insurance company website has likely provided a listing of all the dentists within our organization, rather than a specific list by location. Each Celebrate Dental & Braces office works with a number of insurance providers in order to help make dental care accessible for you.
Medication information
Will I need to make arrangements for pre-medication?
If you routinely see a heart doctor, please consult with them to see if it is necessary for pre-medication. If your cardiologist requires you to take an antibiotic before your appointment, please take it an hour before your scheduled appointment.
The first visit for a new patient usually consists of taking X-rays, an examination by your dentist and a consultation with the office manager to get all your questions answered.
Does your office use IV sedation?
IV sedation is typically used only by an oral surgeon. Generally, the dentists will use a numbing gel or local anesthetic during treatments if needed. Oral sedation may also be available, depending on your medical history. Be sure to discuss this with your dentist to see if you’re a good candidate.

What is the difference between Novocain, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation?
Novocain is a local anesthetic used to numb only a particular area of your mouth. Nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” is the lightest form of conscious sedation. It’s used to minimize anxiety–you’ll still be awake and somewhat aware, but it can help you to relax and feel like you’re floating. Intravenous, or IV sedation, is a sedation that is used to minimize dental anxiety. This type of sedation will help you fall asleep for part or all of the procedure and you’ll most likely not remember the procedure.
First appointment
How much is my first visit going to cost me?
We believe that everyone deserves a healthy mouth. So, our dental care services are not only thorough, but also affordable and accessible to all. Your dentist will give you a comprehensive exam and recommend treatment to get your mouth on the road to healthy. The office manager will discuss costs and work with you to find payment options that fit your budget. Celebrate Dental & Braces offices make flexible payment options available to help you make your treatment affordable, and we pledge never to surprise you with hidden fees—we’ll provide a clear, detailed estimate on the cost of your treatment plan in writing, so you know what to expect.
How long do dentist appointments take?
Depending on what we see in your exam, you can expect to be with us for one hour for your new patient exam.
Do I need insurance at Celebrate Dental & Braces?
You do not need insurance to visit our offices. We offer Celebrate Dental & Braces Savings Plan and flexible third-party payment options for those without insurance. Medicaid is not accepted.
Will I get a dental cleaning on my first visit?
Likely not—and there’s a reason for that. Each new patient relationship starts with a comprehensive exam, including X-rays, so your dentist can understand your needs and concerns first, then tailor your treatment based on your needs. This way, you’ll get the most out of your appointments and the time and attention you deserve.
