Your First Visit
No surprises.
You're not going to be told anything we wouldn't say to ourselves. You'll know what's happening before it happens. And if we can finish it today, we will.
Dental emergency? Online scheduling is available — we'll get you in as soon as possible.
What to expect
Your first visit, made simple.
-
01
Paperwork on your phone — before you arrive.
When you book your appointment, your new patient paperwork is automatically sent to your phone. Fill it out on the couch the night before, or in the parking lot if you're like most of us. Either way, when you walk in we're ready — and you're not sitting in the waiting area with a clipboard.
-
02
An honest exam — we tell you what you need.
Dr. Walker does his own exam — every time. He'll show you what he sees on your digital X-rays and walk you through his recommendation in plain language. If you've been told elsewhere that you need extensive treatment, we welcome the second opinion. We've recommended less than the prior office more times than we can count.
-
03
Same-day treatment — if it can be done today, we'll do it today.
Pain doesn't deserve a return visit. Where the schedule and the procedure allow, we treat what we found in the same appointment — extractions, root canals, fillings, same-day crowns when the case fits. If we can't, you'll know why before you leave.
Insurance & Financing
The plans we work with. The promise that doesn't change.
Insurance we work with:
- Delta Dental
- Cigna
- MetLife
- United Healthcare
- Idaho Medicaid
- Aetna
- Blue Cross of Idaho
Plus most other major plans — call to confirm.
CareCredit
The treatment plan is the same whether you have premium PPO, Medicaid, or no insurance at all. We accept most major plans. CareCredit is available for financing the parts insurance doesn't cover. If you're between plans or paying out of pocket, tell us — we'll be upfront about what's optional and what isn't.
In pain today?
Call us today.
We do same-day extractions, root canals (including molar endo), and emergency treatment in-house. Tell the front desk it's urgent. We'll do everything we can to see you the same day.
