FAQs
How Does Riverstone Dental Make Dental Care Affordable?
No Insurance? no problem!
Our yearly Riverstone Dental Wellness Plan is a great way for our patients who do not have dental insurance to save money and receive the best dental care.
The Riverstone Dental Wellness Plan provides preventive dental services (cleanings, exams, x-rays, fluoride treatments) for a discounted rate. And, includes 15-20% OFF Additional treatment. There are NO CO-PAYS.
Our RDWP is NOT dental insurance and cannot be combined with any other offer or savings plan.
What Comfort Measures Does Riverstone Dental Offer?
Why is Fluoride Important for My Dental Health?
Fluoride plays a key role in strengthening tooth enamel and preventing the onset or progression of tooth decay. At Riverstone Dental, we apply a long-lasting fluoride varnish designed to adhere to the teeth, harden immediately upon contact, and therefore, reduce the risk of ingestion. This treatment is especially beneficial for those at higher risk of tooth decay, and we may also recommend fluoride toothpaste for daily use.
