Choosing a neighborhood dental office is an important decision. With access anytime, anywhere, Great Expressions has been a leader in providing preventive dental care, orthodontics, surgery, and cosmetic dentistry to the communities we serve.

Health And Safety

As such, we work together to build a culture that ensures the safest environment for everyone at Great Expressions. Our locations often exceed infection control standards, as well as health and safety standards set forth by local, state and federal governing agencies.

The easiest way to help mitigate the spread of disease and infection is hand washing, which is essential in preventing the spread of infection. Hand washing is the simplest and yet most important thing we can all do at home, as well as in public places. At Great Expressions Dental Centers, we emphasize its importance and have incorporated it into our culture of safety.

In addition to our testament of preventing infection and disease, Great Expressions conducts both daily and weekly testing of all sterilization equipment in each of our 300 dental locations across the United States. We ensure that every office exceeds the compliance rate requirements. In fact, Great Expressions Dental Centers was the first to be awarded the Summit Compliance Award, presented by Mesa Labs, with recognition of our organization-wide commitment to infection control, demonstrated by achieving the highest levels of weekly biological sterilization.

Opioid addiction is occurring at unprecedented levels. It is our professional responsibility, as health care providers, to guard against abuse by appropriately prescribing controlled substances. Great Expression’s doctors have a thorough understanding of the indications for opioid prescription.

Your smile is as unique as your set of fingerprints, which is why we treat the patient, not the insurance, with realistic results that give our patients a reason to smile.

Founded in 1982, Great Expressions has taken this promise nationwide, with 250 practices in 9 states. For nearly 40 years, Great Expressions has been a trusted provider and leader in preventive care, orthodontics, specialty care, and cosmetic dentistry in the communities we serve. We are always conscious of the fundamental beliefs that have brought us this far, this fast.

We consistently rank among the nation’s leading dental groups, providing oral health care services, dental education, and setting new standards for clinical excellence and patient satisfaction. And we do all of this while still keeping a healthy smile affordable and convenient in a world of tight budgets and busy schedules.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has helped expand health care coverage to millions of Americans who had never had coverage before. At Great Expressions, we believe people deserve access to health coverage and support the ACA in making children’s dental coverage mandatory with any compliant health plans sold on the exchanges. The ACA’s expansion of Medicaid and its related dental benefits have also helped more low-income children and adults find dental assistance than ever before.

Still, dental coverage is treated differently under the law than health coverage, even though our teeth and gums are as much a part of us as our heart or kidneys. To help alleviate the financial worry, Great Expressions keeps all our services under one network, so you can get the care when you need and without complications whenever specialty treatment plans are required. Get back to your own healthy lifestyle without the stress of essential dental health costs, and let Great Expressions provide your mouth with the care it needs.

We have several options available to fit every budget, including cash pay, insurance, and financing plans. And for those who still find dental coverage outside their reach financially, Great Expressions offers the Smile Protection Plan for individuals and families. It’s an affordable alternative to dental insurance that gives you savings year-round on all of your visits to Great Expressions. You can learn more about the Smile Protection Plan here.
