We Love Answering Your Dental Questions in Decatur

With our Whitening for Life program, you’ll enjoy a lasting white smile while you’re a patient with us. All you have to do is pay a one-time fee of $99 and see Dr. Betts every six months for a dental checkup. At each checkup, you’ll receive whitening gel and custom trays to maintain a whiter, brighter smile at home.

Our office is happy to file your insurance for you. We strive to help you obtain all your benefits while providing you the best care possible. You can receive your care from Dr. Betts even if you don’t find our name on the insurance company website or the list your employer provides. And if you don’t, ask about our in-house Dental Savings Plan! For up-to-date information, call our office – we’re happy to tell you how your plan works.

Not at all. Modern root canals remove infections causing toothaches. Without a root canal, you’ll continue to be in pain until the tooth is finally extracted. Dr. Betts is highly trained to use numbing agents and will adjust yours to make sure you’re comfortable. He can also administer laughing gas. A root canal procedure ends pain, and more importantly, it can save your tooth.

Yes, we offer traditional amalgam fillings and composite resin fillings so you can choose what’s best for your situation. Both can effectively treat decayed teeth, but sometimes, a patient will prefer a composite filling if they want it to blend in with surrounding teeth, or because they are more sensitive or allergic to metal in standard fillings.

We offer same-day dental emergency services. We are here for you when you need us most. All you need to do is call the office and let us know what’s going on. We’ll get you into the schedule as quickly as we can so that you can get out of pain as fast as possible. If it’s after hours, you will be redirected to Dr. Betts’s personal phone.

If you have lost an adult tooth, it is important that you restore your smile with a long-lasting and naturally functioning replacement like a dental implant. The implant itself will replace your tooth root and create a strong foundation for a restoration like a dental crown or bridge. Once in place, this restoration should last as long as a decade, perhaps more depending on your situation, and your implant should last the rest of your life. Choose the stability of a dental implant when replacing a missing tooth.
