Today, dental implants have become the most effective and reliable method for recreating lost tooth structure, allowing patients to regain both their oral health and their confident, strong smile. Dental bridges, dentures, and implant-retained prosthetics are also available at our Hutchinson, KS practice for patients in need of alternative options. The important thing is to remember is that no one treatment option is the perfect fit for every single person who walks through our office door. That’s why Dr. Grant Ringler and his associates will sit down with you beforehand to learn about your needs and provide personalized recommendations.

Our office can provide patients looking to improve their appearance with a complimentary smile analysis. This consultation is designed to help our team form a comprehensive understanding of your cosmetic goals and any oral damage that needs attention. Once this is complete, we work closely with patients to formulate the ideal smile makeover plan that fits their level of time commitment and budget. Yours may include teeth whitening, metal-free restorations, Six Month Smiles, or other cosmetic dentistry services.

We certainly can. Here in Hutchinson, our team works hard to create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for patients – however, we also understand that sometimes, a little additional help is needed in achieving true relaxation during dental care. That’s why we offer calming sedation methods like nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesiology that can help patients feel genuinely comfortable and at ease. During an initial consultation, our doctors can help you determine which option is right for your situation.

Our practice is an in-network provide for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, Delta Dental, and Aetna. We are also happy to file paperwork on your behalf for additional PPO plans. Please visit our new patients page to learn more about this process.

Dr. Ringler also accepts financing through CareCredit and Lending Club. These companies allow patients to pursue needed dental care right away and split up the cost into affordable, predictable monthly payments that can easily fit into your budget. Visit our new patients page to sign up today!
