Your Questions

Do you whiten teeth?
Yes. In fact, we offer you a choice of whitening in our office or at home. In-office whitening brightens your teeth in about an hour. Professional take-home bleaching kits are convenient and easy to use. Simply wear the tray and professional gel at night until your teeth become the color you desire. Usually, take-home treatment takes about 14 days or less.


Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We’re a preferred provider for Delta, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Guardian, and Mashantucket Insurance. While you’re in the dental chair, we'll work behind the scenes to optimize your dental benefits, filing claims from our office as a courtesy to you. For patients with other insurance providers, we'll file an out-of-network claim. Simply pay your deductible or co-pay at the end of your visit. If your provider does not pay the full estimated portion, we'll bill you for the balance.


Do you place amalgam fillings?
Yes we do. We give our patients a choice between standard amalgam fillings and tooth-colored composite fillings. Many patients prefer an all-white smile, so composite resin fillings have become very popular. However, amalgam fillings have been deemed completely safe by the American Dental Association, so we will fill your teeth with whichever material you prefer.


Do you treat children?
Yes. In fact, Dr. Goodwin counts his young daughters, Nina and Allison, among his many satisfied patients. As a true family practice, our team understands the needs and concerns of young patients. We will care for your children's smiles with a tender touch. Helping your kids develop and maintain healthy smiles will be our sincere pleasure.
