We are at 69450 Ramon Road, Cathedral City, CA 92234, near Date Palm Drive and Da Vall Drive. Look for the stone building with palm trees and a large white tooth sculpture out front. Dr. Lemay built the building and opened the practice here in 2002.

Yes. Children are welcome, and you can book visits for the whole family together.

Yes, we accept PPO dental plans, including Aetna, Assurant, Cigna, Connection Dental, Delta Dental, DenteMax, Guardian, MetLife, Principal and Safeguard. Call to confirm your specific plan. Our insurance coordinator files your claims for you, and we tell you your out-of-pocket cost before treatment so there are no surprises.

No. We accept PPO dental plans only. We do not accept HMO dental plans or Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal).

Yes. We offer financing through CareCredit and LendingClub. We also accept cash, checks and credit cards.

It depends on what you need and on your insurance, so we do not publish prices. After your exam we give you the out-of-pocket cost up front, and if cost matters, Dr. Lemay can walk you through alternatives. Call (760) 324-4450 with questions.

Yes. Implants are planned on a 3D cone beam CT scan, placed with computer-guided surgery and restored here, from a single tooth to a full arch. Bone grafts and sinus lifts are also done in-house when they are needed.

Mini implants are narrower than standard implants. They are often used to hold a loose lower denture in place and can sometimes be placed without a bone graft when bone is thin. Standard implants are usually the stronger choice for replacing single back teeth. Dr. Lemay has placed mini implants since 2001 and will tell you which fits your case.

Yes. All-on-4 treatment fixes a full arch of teeth onto four implants. It is an option for people who are missing most of their teeth in an arch or whose remaining teeth are failing.

Dr. Bruno Lemay, a Fellow in implantology of the California Implant Institute and a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, with 36 years in dentistry.

Oral conscious sedation: a prescribed pill taken before your appointment that helps you feel calm and relaxed. You will need someone to drive you home. We do not offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or IV sedation.

Yes. Tell us when you call. You can ask for a quiet appointment, agree on a hand signal to take a break at any time, and talk to the dentist about oral conscious sedation. Many of our patients started out anxious.

Yes. Our endodontist, Dr. Jason Fowler, is a root canal specialist trained at Loma Linda University, so most root canals are done in our office instead of being referred out.

Yes. Extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafts, gum grafts, ridge augmentation and sinus lifts are done in-house. We use platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and dental lasers to support healing.
