Questions

What makes Skale Dental different from other practices?

We combine four generations of dental expertise with advanced technology in a family-focused environment. Our in-house periodontist allows complete implant care without referrals, and our 3D smile design lets you preview results before treatment.

Do you offer same-day dental services?

Yes, we provide same-day crowns using CEREC technology and offer emergency dental care with immediate pain relief options for urgent situations like knocked-out teeth or severe toothaches.

How can I preview my new smile before treatment?

Our 3D smile design software creates digital previews, and we offer trial smile overlays that let you physically see and test your new smile appearance before committing to treatment.

What payment options are available?

We offer 0% financing, in-house payment plans, and accept all major insurance. Our team works with you to maximize benefits and provides detailed cost breakdowns before starting any treatment.

Are dental implants worth the investment?

Dental implants preserve jawbone structure, function like natural teeth, and often last decades with proper care. They prevent adjacent teeth shifting and maintain facial contours better than traditional bridges or dentures.

How do you handle dental anxiety?

We offer sedation dentistry options, aromatherapy, and a spa-like environment to ease anxiety. Our team specializes in gentle techniques and takes time to explain procedures to ensure patient comfort.

My whole family has been going to Dr Skale for over 20 years. I started looking at old pictures of myself and realized I didnt like the way my teeth looked. I asked Dr Skale for advice. He suggested ways my smile could be improved. I did what he suggested and now I get compliments on my beautiful smile daily. I love looking in the mirror! Thank you so much Dr Skale!

A big thank you to Skale Dental Professionals for getting us in an emergency appointment to fix a cracked tooth for an 8 year old. The whole office was supportive, professional, kind & was able to reattach a broken tooth right away. THANK YOU!!!

Unbelievable service !
Had an emergency and needed to see a dentist. Skale dental was closed , so I made an appt elsewhere who did nothing for me. Doctor skale not only returned my call on his day off but was able to fit me in also. He took care of the problem in about 10 minutes. Simply the best .
