What if you don’t take my dental insurance, can I still become a patient?
Do you take MEDICAID?
How do I transfer my records to your office?
If you are interested in becoming a patient and you have had dental x-rays taken elsewhere, especially within the last year, please email them to St. Peters: patients@scanlonfamilydental.com. If you would like your records and x-rays sent, your referring office will require YOU, the patient, to request them. We are happy to assist you with this process!
I have small children, when should I bring them in?
I am having trouble completing my digital forms, what should I do?
I saw Dr. Bridwell/Dr. Cavanaugh/Dr. Scanlon in the past... is this the same practice?
Yes! Dr. Cavanaugh retired from clinical dentistry in 2011, and Dr. Scanlon in 2020. Dr. Cory Glowczewski, Dr. Scanlon’s daughter, had the pleasure of working with both. She, along with our associate dentists, are now working to continue wonderful care and commitment to exceptional dentistry with an honest approach.
Is this the same practice and Dr. Robert Wheeler?
Yes! Dr. Wheeler selected Scanlon Family Dental as a merge partner to ensure his patients had an honest and caring home.
