Getting Started

Rocket Seperator, Celestial Dental | General Dentist

The most important parts of any healthy relationship are that of communication, trust, and respect.

This will be evident in your first visit at Celestial Dental and every visit thereafter. At your first visit, you will meet our doctor for an interview and examination. No two mouths are alike – each exam is tailored to your needs and wants.

We are here to guide you and your oral health in a professional and scientifically sound manner. Dr. C is a doctor of compassion, not judgment. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since you’ve last been to the dentist – he and his team are here to help you.

Preparing for Your Visit:

We want your appointment to be as smooth as possible. Help us make that happen by completing a few things:

  1. Bring a government-issued ID
  2. Bring a copy of your dental insurance
  3. Get directions to the office
  4. Arrive 10 minutes early

Please contact us 48 hours in advance for appointment cancellations.

First Appointment Expectations:


1. Our new patient exams for adults are 90 minutes long.

We start off with x-rays of your teeth and gums and intraoral pictures of your teeth. We also assess the health of your gums. 

2. After reviewing everything going on in your mouth, we hold a case conversation.

Dr. C will inform you of his concerns, and then together we will figure out what is the best course of treatment for you. Your teeth are then cleaned, and the order of scheduled treatment is then decided.

3. Our patients are more to us than just a mouth and teeth.

Dr. C and the staff genuinely look forward to hearing about work and school, your family, and any hobbies you enjoy!

Payment Options:

We accept cash, all major credit cards, and Sunbit financing. You can also use your HSA through your employer. We accept Apple Pay and Google Pay. Samsung Pay will be accepted in the future. Starting in Q2 2026, we will also offer treatment payment plans through Proceed Finance.

In-Network Insurance:

We are currently in-network with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield (excluding Blue Choice Option and Child Health Plus).

Many private dental insurance plans with out-of-network benefits can still be used at our office. Our team provides pre-determinations so you know your estimated out-of-pocket costs before treatment.

Out-of-Network Insurance:

If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may still be able to use your insurance at our office. Our team can help guide you through the reimbursement process so you can maximize your benefits.

We do not accept Medicaid, Healthplex, Fidelis, or other state-funded insurance plans.
