New patients can schedule by giving us a call at 713-647-8000 or by filling out our appointment request form.

New patient visits require a $50 deposit to reserve an appointment time. Scheduled treatment appointments require a $100 deposit that will be applied toward the cost of care.

Deposits can be processed securely over the phone or through a secure payment link sent by our office. Payment is required at the time of scheduling in order to reserve the appointment time.

Not necessarily. As long as we receive at least 48 hours’ notice for cleanings or 1 week’s notice for treatment appointments, deposits can typically be transferred to a new appointment time. If last-minute changes are unavoidable, the deposit may be applied toward a cancellation fee.

After scheduling for the first time, you’ll receive a patient registration form that can be completed ahead of time. If preferred, the form can also be completed in our office by arriving 15 minutes before the appointment.

Please bring a valid ID, your insurance card, and a method of payment.

Evolution at Tanglewood Dental accepts PPO Insurance plans. Though we aren’t in network, we work with most insurance plans to help patients maximize their available benefits and coverage.

Every insurance plan is different, so out-of-pocket costs can vary depending on coverage, deductibles, and the treatment recommended. Before treatment begins, our team provides a preliminary estimate based on available insurance information, but final coverage and patient portion are ultimately determined by your insurance provider.

The patient portion is the amount of your treatment cost that is not covered by your insurance plan. This amount is determined by your insurance provider after the claim has been reviewed and processed after treatment.

You don’t need dental insurance to receive quality care at Evolution at Tanglewood Dental. We offer an in-house Membership Care Plan that includes preventive services and reduced fees on many treatments, making it easier to budget for your dental care throughout the year.

For larger treatment plans, we also accept financing through Cherry and offer flexible payment options to help make care more manageable.

Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made in advance with our office.

Yes. Recommended treatment and estimated costs are reviewed with patients before proceeding, including any updates if additional issues are discovered during treatment. If insurance applies, expected coverage can be estimated in advance, but insurance providers determine final payment amounts only after treatment is completed and claims are processed.

Emergency visits are not necessarily more expensive, but costs can vary depending whether same-day care is required. Before moving forward with any recommended treatment, our team will review the estimated costs with you and answer any questions you may have.

We ask that the patient provide at least 48 hours’ notice for cleanings and 1 week’s notice for treatment with Dr. Kheir. Appointments can be changed by call or text at 713-647-8000.

Not necessarily. With sufficient notice, deposits can typically be transferred to a new appointment time. Deposits may become non-refundable if appointments are cancelled or rescheduled outside of the required notice window.

Appointment times are reserved specifically for each patient. Last-minute cancellations and missed appointments can make it difficult to offer that time to other patients who may need care.

Missed appointments without notice may result in a no-show fee.

Yes. Patients are welcome to contact our office by call or text to 713-647-8000 regarding appointment changes.

Absolutely. Recommended treatment, estimated costs, and any updates to the treatment plan are always reviewed with patients before proceeding.

If additional conditions are discovered during treatment, our team will explain the findings, review any updated recommendations or costs, and answer any questions before moving forward.
