Patient Center

Our Patient Center is your starting point for learning more about your visit with Dr. VanWinkle.

Our Frequent Questions section is a great starting point. It provides quick answers to a variety of questions from “How is periodontal disease diagnosed?” to what you should do before surgery and after surgery.

If you have insurance questions, our Insurance Options page will help you understand what is available and how we can help. Beyond that, we offer a variety of Payment Options as well. Along with all this, please review our Office Policy & Financial Agreement page.

If you want more information about a particular procedure, including specific before and after surgery instructions as well as sedation options, please visit our Procedures page and browse to your procedure.

Finally, to get ready for your initial visit, please complete our New Patient Form.

If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, please contact use by phone or email.

COVID-19 Announcement (4/24/20)

YES, We’re Open!

What to expect when you arrive at the Office:

Dr. VanWinkle and our team will be increasing our Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
We will be reducing our schedule (not our office hours) to implement additional sterilization measures between patients. We will also reduce the number of patients in the reception area to ensure proper social distancing as recommended by our Governor.
Daily temperature checks and verbal health screens will be given to all team members at the start of each business day.
Patient temperature checks will be given upon arrival. Any temperature reading of 100° or higher will be asked to re-appoint. We are simply protecting our team and our patients.
Patients will be asked to sign a consent indicating they are in good health and their temperature reading will be documented.
We ask that you kindly use the provided hand sanitizer upon arrival. You will also be asked to wash your hands with soap and water upon leaving the treatment room.
We ask that you refrain from bringing any companions with you to your appointment, except for instances where you require assistance (e.g., sedated patients, pediatric patients, people with special needs, elderly patients, etc.). If possible, please have your companion wait in the car or the Office Park lobby.

Thank you again for your patience and cooperation under these difficult times. We will continue to update you with new information as it becomes available. Please keep in mind the conditions are being re-evaluated every 7 days by Governor Holcomb and the CDC. If safety guidelines require us to close again we appreciate your understanding.
