Why Pearl & Vine

The difference is in the details.

Two Doctors, One Practice

Cosmetic and restorative live under one roof. Implants placed and restored by the same team — fewer handoffs, better outcomes.

Long Appointments

No double-booked chairs. No rushed cleanings. 60 minutes minimum on a hygiene visit, longer on restorative.

Honest Pricing

Written estimate before any drill turns. We tell you when something can wait. Honesty over upsell, every single time.

The Tools We Use

The technology behind the smile.

Modern dentistry is quieter, faster, and gentler than what most patients remember. Here's the equipment we work with — and what it means for you.

iTero Element scanner

Goop-free digital impressions. See your smile mock-up before we touch a tooth.

CEREC same-day milling

Crowns done in one visit. No temporary, no second appointment.

Digital X-rays

Up to 90% less radiation than film. Instant images for faster, clearer diagnosis.

Intraoral camera

You see exactly what we see. No more “just trust me” — every finding shown in HD.

Soft-tissue laser

Gentler on gums. Faster healing, less bleeding for cosmetic and gum work.

AI smile design

Photo-realistic preview of your potential smile before any prep work begins.

Anxiety & Sedation

Anxious about the chair? Read this.

About 36% of Americans avoid the dentist out of fear. We've heard it all — and we work in three quiet ways to make this different.

Included free

Nitrous oxide

Light, fast on/off, no driving restriction. Best for routine appointments and patients new to sedation.

Learn more
For longer cases

Oral conscious sedation

A pill an hour before treatment. You’ll remember less, feel calm, still respond. Bring a driver. Best for full veneer prep or multi-implant visits.

Learn more
Available for select cases

IV sedation

Twilight sedation administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Fully monitored. Reserved for full-mouth rehabilitation or severe dental anxiety.

I'd put off doing my front teeth for years. The team walked me through three different mockups before we picked one. Two visits, zero pain, and now I actually smile in photos.

Bought aligners three years ago that didn't fit right. Pearl & Vine redid the scan, caught what the last office missed, and I finished in 13 months. Honest pricing, no upsell.

Lost a molar in college. Twelve years of avoiding it. Dr. Anand made the implant feel routine. I should have done this a decade ago.

Common Questions

Frequently asked.

Will it look natural?+

That's our whole approach. For veneers and cosmetic work we mock up three options before we touch a tooth. We tell you 'no' when something would over-correct. Subtle is the only way we work.

Do you accept insurance?+

We're in-network with Delta Dental PPO, Cigna, MetLife, and Aetna. Out-of-network plans are still welcome — we'll file the claim for you and walk you through what your plan actually covers before any treatment starts.

Do you offer sedation?+

Yes. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is included free for any treatment that needs it. Oral conscious sedation is available for longer cases or anxiety patients — we'll talk through which option fits you on consult.

Do you offer financing?+

Yes. We work with Cherry and CareCredit (0% APR available for qualified applicants), and we offer in-house monthly plans on cases over $2,000. No hidden fees, no surprise statements.

What happens on my first visit?+

A 60-minute exam with full X-rays, a hygienist cleaning, and a one-on-one conversation about anything you've been putting off. Zero pressure to commit to treatment that day.

Will it hurt?+

Most of our patients tell us cleanings here are gentler than what they're used to. For restorative or surgical work we use modern anesthesia, sedation when warranted, and we always check in mid-procedure. If something feels off, we stop.

What's your cancellation policy?+

We hold appointments with a card on file but never charge until the day of. Late cancellations within 48 hours may have a $50 fee.

What if I have a dental emergency after hours?+

Call our main line and follow the prompts to reach the on-call dentist. Same-day appointments are reserved daily for emergencies — broken tooth, lost crown, sudden pain. We'll get you in.

New Patient Special

$99 exam, X-rays + cleaning.

60 minutes with a hygienist, full X-ray series, and a one-on-one with your dentist. Zero pressure, zero upsell — just a real conversation about what you've been putting off.
