Family Dentistry FAQs

How early should my child first visit a family dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by your child’s first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. These early appointments are short and gentle, giving little ones a chance to get comfortable in the chair while we check on healthy development.

Do you accept my dental insurance?

We accept all dental insurance plans and are in network with Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Cigna. Our team is happy to verify your benefits before your visit so you know what to expect.

What payment options are available?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. We also offer CareCredit financing, which lets you spread larger treatment costs into manageable monthly payments.

Can you help family members who feel nervous about dental visits?

Yes. Along with a gentle, patient approach, we offer oral sedation for patients who experience dental anxiety or need longer treatment. Ask us whether it is a good fit for you or a family member.

Yes. Our office has cared for St. Joseph families for more than 40 years, previously as Ostendorf Family Dentistry. Dr. Justin Hummelgard has owned the practice since 2022 and continues its tradition of personal, community-focused care. Many patients have trusted us as their family dentist for generations.
