    Sample review

  • Called at 8:30 with a broken tooth and was in the chair by 11. They told me the price before they started.

Meet Dr. Nora Halvorsen

I would rather spend ten more minutes explaining than have you leave with a plan you do not trust.

Dr. Halvorsen opened Tallowood in 2009 and still sees patients four days a week. Many families see her three generations at a time.

Also on the team

Questions we hear every week

Do you take my insurance?

We are in network with Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian and Aetna PPO plans, and we file claims for other PPO plans too. Call with your member ID and we check your benefits first. We do not take HMO dental plans or Medicaid.

I am nervous about the dentist. What do you do differently?

We start with a conversation, not the chair. The dentist explains each step first, and you can raise a hand to stop at any time. We do not start treatment on a first visit unless you are in pain and ask us to.

Do you see dental emergencies?

Yes, every weekday, new patients included. Call before 10 in the morning and we aim to see you that day.

Bring the whole family

Call the front desk. We will find a time that works for everyone, school pickup included.
