My child is (or I am) nervous at the dentist. Do you offer "laughing gas?"
Poplarville Dental Clinic strives to make dentistry comfortable and as painless as possible for all of our patients, which is why Dr. Estep and the team take extra time and attention with our nervous patients. Our goal is to make visiting the dentist as pleasurable as possible, and a great experience. We do offer nitrous oxide, commonly called "laughing gas," to our patients, at a small fee. Nitrous oxide will relax a patient, and provide minimal numbing of the mouth.
Does your office offer another alternative to "laughing gas?"
For especially nervous patients, or patients whose treatment may be particularly lengthy, we offer Oral Conscious Sedation. Oral conscious sedation is the use of oral medications to provide a moderate level of sedation. Patients are awake and able to participate in treatment; however, the medications prescribed will leave a patient legally impaired to drive, so a driver is required. Ask our doctors if oral conscious sedation is the right fit for you during your exam.
Does Poplarville Dental Clinic offer Invisalign?
What can you tell me about it?
Dr. Estep proudly offers Invisalign, the clear alternative to braces. Invisalign straightens teeth and corrects many orthodontic issues (as do traditional braces), but Invisalign technology uses clear trays, called aligners, to obtain desired results instead of using the wires and brackets used in traditional braces. We offer a free consultation for all Invisalign cases, as well as in-office financing.

Traditional, at-home bleaching hasn't provided the results I anticipated. How can Poplarville Dental Clinic help me get the beautiful, white smile I desire?
For some patients, whitening strips and traditional, at-home bleaching isn't enough to lift years of stains from their teeth. For these patients, Dr. Estep may perform Kor Whitening in our office. Kor whitening offers permanent, extreme results with minimal sensitivity!

Do you accept my insurance?
Our office accepts most insurance plans, including Mississippi Medicaid (in all forms except Molina) and C.H.I.P. We will gladly file your insurance claims for you, and request that you provide the most current insurance information to facilitate this process. Dr. Estep is a preferred provider and/or "in network" for many insurance companies. Contact our office to discuss your particular insurance plan.
What payment options are available to me?
Poplarville Dental Clinic's staff understands that financial matters have become increasingly important, which is why we offer flexible payment options. We accept cash, money order, Visa, Mastercard, Discover card, and, in most cases, a personal check. We also offer third-party payment options via Care Credit and have partnered with First National Bank of Picayune to provide additional financing options to allow you to easy monthly payments. We do not offer in-house financing or payment plans. While we will gladly file your insurance claims with your insurance, your portion of your payment is due at the time of treatment.
