Dentistry that explains itself.
Nothing happens before it’s explained. Nervous patients welcome, and kids from their first tooth.
Mon to Thu 8 to 5, Fri until noon. 91st and Memorial, Suite 120.
New patients
Your first visit, minute by minute.
Most of the dread is not knowing what’s next. So here is what’s next, the whole hour, before you’ve set foot in the door.
Book this visitYou check in.
We texted you the forms the day before, so it's a hello and a seat. Water, coffee, a window onto the courtyard.
A tour of the room.
Tamika shows you the chair, the screen, and every tool she'll use, before any of them is used.
Pictures, not guesses.
Digital X-rays and a small camera. Low dose, ten minutes, and you'll see every image on the screen in front of you.
The cleaning.
Tamika talks through what she's doing as she goes. Raise a hand and everything stops. That's a rule here, not a courtesy.
The dentist looks.
Dr. Raman or Dr. Bell sits down, looks at the pictures with you, and explains what they see in plain words.
You leave with a plan on paper.
What, if anything, needs doing, in what order, with the price next to each line. Nothing gets decided in the chair.
If the dentist scares you, say so.
Tell us when you book and we’ll put you with Dr. Bell, whose residency was spent with patients who’d rather be anywhere else. Longer appointments, nothing rushed, and the hand rule: raise it and everything stops.
Book with Dr. BellTry the hand rule
Kids, from the first tooth.
- First visit at age one, or when the first tooth shows up.
- Parents stay in the room. Always.
- The first visit is a ride in the chair, a count of the teeth, and a sticker. That's it.
- We never hold a child down. If today isn't the day, we try another day.
What we do, and how long it takes.
Every service, explained, with the priceFour people you’ll actually meet.
Dentist and owner
OU College of Dentistry, 2011. Took over the practice in 2018 from Dr. Hollis, who'd run it since 1989. Two kids, one of whom is finally brushing without being asked.
Dentist
Joined in 2021 after a residency in pediatric and special-needs dentistry. If the dentist makes you anxious, say so when you book, and you'll be with him.
Hygienist, 14 years
If you've been coming here a while, Tamika remembers your kids' names and what you said about your molars last time.
Front desk, and the voice on the phone
The first person you'll meet, and the one who texts the forms, finds the opening, and tells you what your insurance will actually cover before you come in.
Insurance
In network with Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Guardian, United Healthcare and HealthChoice. Dana checks what yours covers before you come in.
No insurance? The Maple plan is $329 a year: two cleanings, X-rays, and 20% off the rest.
