Important Patient Notice

Effective October 1, 2026

An Update for Our Delta Dental Patients

At Downtown Dentistry, you are part of our dental family. Our commitment has always been to you, your health, and your smile. Beginning October 1, 2026, our relationship with Delta Dental Insurance will be changing, and we will become a Delta Dental Premier office.

What This Means for You

For most patients, this means little to no change in how their insurance is handled at our office. You can still expect:


The same caring team you know and trust

The same high-quality care from Dr. Brooks and our team

The same comfortable, personalized experience

A continued focus on what’s best for your smile and overall health


We made this change so we can continue focusing on what matters most—your care.

Your Delta Dental Benefits

How your benefits may be handled depends on the type of Delta Dental plan you have.
