The clinic emphasizes patient comfort, using techniques like IV sedation and maintaining a warm, friendly environment. They are dedicated to making quality dental care accessible, offering flexible financing options, including in-house plans, iCare Financial, and CareCredit®. An on-staff insurance specialist assists patients with understanding and navigating their insurance benefits. Dr. Joseph Griffin Jr. and his team are committed to ongoing education, with dentists receiving significantly more training than state standards.
