Your dental treatment plan will then determine the number of appointments that will be needed to complete your procedure(s) and may involve multiple students.
Pediatric visits take less time and fewer sessions, depending on the treatment.

- Blue Cross Blue Shield MA
- Cigna
- Commonwealth Care Alliance
