"We could not be more pleased with this dental office and team! I’m so glad I found them and made the switch for my boys. I worked in the dental field for 9yrs and I can confidently say they do an exceptional job. They’re so kind, patient and thorough. Both of my boys feel comfortable and safe, as do I! The office is clean, and cozy! The team is friendly and welcoming! Overall just so happy with Dr. Joe and his amazing team!"

"My boys have been going to Dr. Joe for a few years although i am not always able to accompany them they and my husband like the clinic very much. I did get the opportunity to go to their visit yesterday and Dr. Joe handled all my questions and concerns with true understanding and care. I felt completely listened to and at ease with our future treatment plans. He also said my oldest boy Greyson had the cleanest teeth he had seen all day which gave him so much pride. Thank you to the whole staff you make going to the dentist a real treat!"

"Dr. Joe is the BEST DENTIST EVER! We have seen him since my son was 6 months old (he is now almost 6) and I just took my youngest son to see him for the first time. He is so patient, kind, and gentle with the kids. He is also patient with me. I have had a massive fear of the dentist my whole life and am determined to not let my boys see this. I want them to enjoy (or at least not fear) their appointments. He did two fillings on my son Hayden a few months ago, and to this day my son has no idea. He thought they were just looking at his teeth. That is AMAZING!!! He actually looks forward to seeing Dr. Joe.
Thank you Dr. Joe and team. You are all wonderful!"

"Great office! From my first phone call to my son’s first visit this office has been exceptional! They make it easy. Dr. Joe is amazing with my 16 month old, he gave me great tips to make brushing more successful at home and I know my son is getting great care. Thank you! We can not wait until our next visit."

"Dr. Joe and everyone who works at the office are wonderful. They’re so knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. The office is clean and has toys, a fish tank, and videos to entertain the kids while they wait. My kids actually look forward to going to the dentist. The only problem is that it’s hard to get them to leave after the appointment! Thank you, Dr Joe and staff."

• We take special notes on each child during the visit.

anytime for after hour emergencies.
Appointments
Your scheduled appointment time has been reserved specifically for you. We request 24-hours notice if you need to cancel your appointment.
Insurance
Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
Financial Information
Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered. Charges are payable at the time of treatment.
We accept payments by cash, checks, and all major credit cards. Please ask a member of our staff, and we will review our payment options to accommodate your financial needs. If special arrangements are needed, please talk to our office manager prior to receiving service.
Although we participate with most major dental insurances, it is difficult to participate in all insurances. We welcome you to our office even If we are out of network with your insurance. With many out of network plans, there is often little or no difference in the out of pocket expense going out of network with our office. We are happy to discuss all of these options with you.
During your first visit to our office we want to take the time to get acquainted and gather information. This includes a thorough examination and possibly taking x-rays we feel may be required to make a complete diagnosis. At this time we will also discuss with you the nature of any necessary dental care.
We have ways of explaining procedures to children, being honest and presenting it in a manner that will not frighten them. If your child asks, “will it hurt?” We feel it is wise to say that Dr. Lubisich is your friend and will be very gentle with you. Avoid phrases such as “it won’t hurt” and “that wasn’t so bad.” We want your child to have positive memories of going to our office.
Please complete our New Patient Forms before you visit.
First Pediatric Dental Visit
Pediatric Dentistry is the dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association which encompasses comprehensive dental care for all children, from infancy through adolescence.
A children’s dental specialist like Dr. Lubisich are a practitioner who, after becoming a general dentist (often called a family dentist), has completed an additional two years of post-doctoral training in the recognition and treatment of children’s dental services. Specialty education includes child psychology, behavior guidance, preventive techniques, restorative dentistry, orthodontics, sedation dentistry, and the treatment of children with special needs. Both of our doctors are certified pediatric dental specialists.
A thorough exam will be done to evaluate the health of your child’s teeth, gums and mouth. Dr. Lubisich will evaluate your child’s growth and development and check to make sure your child’s oral development is on track. Our office will make child-specific recommendations for the need of sealants, fluoride and other services based on your child’s individual needs and habits.
We strive to make each visit fun, educational and memorable for you & your child!
Children’s Dental Topics:
The American Association for Orthodontists recommends that every child have an orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. Early detection and treatment gives your child the edge - a much better chance for natural and normal development. One advantage of having Dr. Lubisich for your child’s dental home is that he monitors their growth & development on a regular basis. Our parents truly appreciate having orthodontic treatment done in our office. This allows them to coordinate cleaning and check-up appointments with orthodontic appointments.
By working with the natural growth instead of against it, we can prevent problems from becoming worse, and give your child or teen a lifetime of healthy smiles! Studies have shown that people who have straight teeth are more likely to smile more. This leads to a greater self esteem which may lead to a more fulfilling life.
