Patient Info
TeleDentistry guidance from home
A private virtual dental visit lets you speak face to face with your dentist about a concern, next steps, or whether an in-office appointment is needed. No software download or account is required.
How It Works
A convenient first step when you cannot come in
Teledentistry uses a secure video visit to help you connect with our dental team from home or while traveling. It can be useful for discussing a dental concern, reviewing symptoms, or deciding how quickly you should be seen in person.
A virtual visit does not replace every hands-on exam or treatment. Your dentist will explain what can be addressed remotely and when photographs, x-rays, testing, or an in-office examination are necessary.
Private connection
Doxy.me provides an encrypted virtual waiting room for your visit.
