What makes Innova Smiles different from corporate dental chains?

Innova Smiles is a physician-owned private practice led by Dr. Ambereen Fatima, DDS, FICOI, FAAIP, one of a small percentage of U.S. dentists with dual implant fellowships. As a single-provider practice, you see the same doctor at every visit, with treatment plans created by your treating dentist. We use 3D CBCT imaging as standard for new patients.

Why choose a private dentist over a corporate chain?

In a private practice like Innova Smiles, the treating dentist owns the practice and makes all clinical decisions directly. This means a consistent doctor relationship and personalized treatment plans. Our practice uses 3D CBCT imaging, CEREC same-day crowns, and AI-assisted diagnostics as part of standard care.

Does Innova Smiles accept the same insurance plans as corporate chains?

Yes. Innova Smiles is in-network with most major PPO dental plans including Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, Humana, United Healthcare, and United Concordia. We also offer CareCredit and Cherry financing and an in-house membership plan for uninsured patients.
