Our main goal at Insight Dental Group is to be the local neighborhood dental office everyone loves to visit. We want our patients to feel safe in our care because we believe our patients should come first. Our patient-centered practice recognizes that a cookie-cutter approach to dental care isn’t practical. Each patient has their own needs and desires. We take into account each patient’s current dental health and ask them where they see their smile in the future. We strive to be your local, approachable neighborhood dentist where you are always treated like an individual.

Our team cares about our patient’s successes – in and out of the dental chair. We love to get to know our patients because it helps us give you a unique dental experience, crafted to your personal dental needs. We can’t wait to meet you!
During your first visit, we’ll make sure you are comfortable and answer any questions you have. Then we’ll take some diagnostic X-rays, perform a comprehensive oral exam that includes an oral cancer screening and clean your teeth. Your comfort is important to us, so if you feel anxious at any time during your appointment, let us know.
At Insight Dental Group, we use the latest technology because it provides our patients with a faster, safer, and overall more pleasant dental visit.
3D printers (like CEREC) have become popular in dentistry because they allow us to fabricate crowns, bridges, and more in less time and with fewer visits than traditional lab-made restorations.
TVs in our treatment rooms give our patients a chance to relax during procedures and they allow us to put enlarged images on the screen so we can show our patients where a tooth needs to be repaired in amazing clarity.
Our sleep study machine helps evaluate patients with symptoms of sleep apnea to determine if they should use a nighttime device.
Intraoral cameras and scanners make goopy impressions a thing of the past. They take highly accurate digital scans of your teeth and jaw, which gives us the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D on a computer screen.
CEREC Primescan scans a patient’s mouth to create crisp, detailed digital images of the tooth. The data then gets sent to our in-house Primemill, which can create your custom crown in a single visit.
You can say goodbye to messy impressions thanks to our digital scanner! This tool allows us to capture images and create impressions of your teeth. It’s a fully digital process — no putty necessary.
