Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to see a dentist?

In most cases, we recommend six months or twice a year on average. Your smile can be tricky, and problems can develop out of sight. By visiting every now and then, Dr. Franz can snuff out the issues earlier and might even save you from serious damage down the road.

Do you see dental emergencies?

Definitely! If you’ve cracked a tooth, knocked out a tooth, or have a case of serious mouth pain, let the team at RiNo Dental know. We get dental emergencies on our schedule as soon as possible.

Can you make my smile look better?

Of course. Plenty of cosmetic services are available that can get rid of gaps, stains, chips, and other problems that make you sigh when you see yourself in the mirror. Porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, metal-free restorative work – we’ll help you find the right choice for you during your first appointment.

Is there a way to straighten my teeth without wearing ugly braces?

Good news – there is! Invisalign uses clear, comfortable aligners instead of the wires and brackets we all got used to seeing on middle-school students, which helps you stay looking polished and confident when you’re at work and when you’re hanging out with friends. 

Will I have to go to another doctor to get dental implants? 

No, you won’t. Dr. Franz brings a specialist into the practice instead so that you can stay right here for every stage of treatment – no annoying travel, no unfamiliar dental office.

Do you take my insurance?

Probably. We accept most major PPO insurance plans. Check out our new patient’s page for more information; if you don’t see your plan listed, just ask us and we’ll let you know if we can take it. 

I don’t have insurance. Do you offer any other way to help me pay?

We do. An affordable and easy to use payment plan can be set up through Lending Club. Alternatively, if you are uninsured, you can pay $25 a month to become a member of our Neighborhood Plan. We also support local artists and makers by offering trade for service.
