How much should a dental cleaning cost in Cathedral City, CA? +

At Desert Dental Alternatives, we accept many forms of insurance and offer third-party financing. Schedule your dental cleaning and exam by calling 760-324-4450.

What kind of dentist is best for implants? +

Dr. Bruno Lemay is a Fellow of the California Implant Institute and a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and he has trained dentists across Canada and California in implant techniques. Learn more on our dental implants page.

What is the 50-40-30 rule in dentistry? +

The “50-40-30 rule” is a smile-design guideline some dentists use to describe ideal tooth-display proportions when smiling and speaking. It is not a clinical standard, and every smile is unique — which is why we design smile makeovers with a wax-up preview so you can see your results before treatment begins.

At what age do most dentists retire? +

On average, dentists in the U.S. retire around age 68–69, later than most professions. Experience matters in dentistry: with 36 years in practice, Dr. Lemay continues to actively treat patients and train other dentists, giving Cathedral City patients decades of refined skill at every visit.

Do you accept dental insurance? +

Yes, we accept many forms of insurance. We encourage you to give our office a call to confirm we take yours. Our team files claims for you, so you spend less time dealing with the insurance company. You can also ask about third-party financing through our payment options to cover any remaining costs.

Absolutely! We try to see patients on the same day whenever possible for urgent situations. Visit our dental emergencies page or call 760-324-4450 — our team will give you back your healthy, beautiful smile ASAP.
