These questions explain common limits, alternate benefits, and why covered treatment is not always the same as recommended care.
What to keep in mind
- Annual maximums may be reached sooner than expected.
- Covered treatment is not always the treatment your dentist recommends.

Why Patients Rate Us Five Stars
Dr. Sable is great! He is kind, listens to your needs, doesn't rush and is easy to talk to! I highly recommend seeing him! His office staff is also great too! Not in it for the money and truly cares about his patients needs. I highly recommend.
Dr. Sable is incredible- he is a great dentist who truly cares about his patients and has a lot of pride in what he does. The staff are kind and helpful, and the office is modern and clean. I would recommend Dr. Sable to anyone.
I needed a lot of dental work done today, and there was no pain at all! Dr. Sable is an excellent dentist and I highly recommend him. He is kind and friendly too!
My first visit with Dr. Sable and his staff. They all were so nice and respectful of my needs. Dr.Sable was very gentle and kept me updated on what he was doing. A definite +10.
Recently, my son had his six-month exam and cleaning. All went well. As always, his experiences with Dr. Sable and hygienist Nicole are professional, kind, and friendly. This also includes treatment of myself and, without a doubt, all other patients. Julie and Ashley at the front desk are also a friendly and competent asset to Dr. Sable's practice.
Broke a tooth while up north. Called and left a message that I needed to have it taken care of. Dr. Sable called me Sunday afternoon and set up an appointment for Monday at noon. Now, that's what I call taking care of your customers. They go the extra mile to make sure that you are taken care of properly. Great doctor and staff. You can't go wrong trusting them with your care.
