Your old dentist vs. Riverpark Dental of Howell
If any of the left-hand column sounds familiar, you are not alone. These are the reasons patients most often give us for leaving their previous office — and what they find here instead.
- Long waits in a cramped lobby → appointments that start when they are booked
- Confusing pricing and unexpected bills → written, itemized estimates and benefits verified before your visit
- Pushed into treatment you didn't understand → diagnostics you can see, explained in plain language
- Weeks or months to get an appointment → time held every day for new patients and emergencies
- Weekday-only hours → open every Sunday, 9 am to 3 pm
- Feeling like a number on the schedule → two dentists who know your history and your goals
No upselling: diagnostics first, decisions second
Our dentists do not sell treatment. Every recommendation is backed by something you can look at yourself — a digital X-ray, an intraoral camera photo, a 3D scan of your mouth. If we suggest a crown, you will see the crack. If a small cavity can safely be watched, we tell you that too.
Options are explained in plain language and matched to your goals, not ours. You can take the written plan home, think it over and ask questions before you agree to anything.
Prices you see before you sit down
Surprise bills usually come from benefits nobody checked. Our insurance coordinators verify your coverage before your visit, and you receive a written estimate showing what insurance is expected to pay and what your share is. If an unexpected cost comes up during treatment, we tell you right away and walk you through your options.
We are in-network with 32 PPO plans. Without insurance, our membership plan covers routine care for a flat yearly fee, and in-house and third-party financing can spread larger treatment into monthly payments.
Your time is treated as valuable
We schedule so that appointments run on time. Our waiting lounge is designed for guests, not for patients to lose half a morning in. Keeping care under one roof saves you trips as well: most treatment happens here without a referral elsewhere, and family members can be booked back-to-back.
Getting in is fast too. Because time is blocked out every day for new patients and emergencies, in most cases we can see you within a few days rather than weeks.
Open on Sundays, when other offices are closed
Many dental offices close for the whole weekend. We are open every Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm for cleanings, checkups and treatment, and Sunday walk-ins are welcome for dental emergencies. That means no taking time off work for a routine visit, and no waiting until Monday with a broken tooth. Details are on our weekend dentist page.
Switching to a new Dentist Howell office takes one call
We handle the parts of switching that people dread. We request your records and X-rays from your previous dentist, verify your insurance and book your first appointment quickly. You fill in your details, and we take care of the rest.
Your first visit includes a 3D scan, an oral cancer screening and digital X-rays with up to 80% less radiation than traditional film, followed by a clear conversation about what we found.
