Monticello Family Dentistrydentist in Monticello, GA

Monticello Family Dentistry is a dental practice located in Monticello, GA, at 458 W Washington St. The clinic is led by Dr. Tyler Lipham, who took ownership of the practice in July 2023, continuing a legacy of community-focused dental care. Dr. Lipham, originally from Bowdon, Georgia, is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Dental Association and the Georgia Dental Association. The practice emphasizes patient care as its foremost priority. The clinic provides a comprehensive suite of dental services for the entire family. These services include general dentistry procedures such as dental fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, and prophylaxis (professional cleanings). They also offer dentures and partial dentures to replace missing teeth, and teeth whitening to enhance smiles. For new patients, the first visit typically lasts about an hour and includes a review of medical and dental history, a series of x-rays, and an evaluation of the teeth and gums. Monticello Family Dentistry is not enrolled in any commercial dental plans, operating as a "non-participating" provider. This allows the practice to maintain control over the services and materials used, focusing on patient health rather than insurance company profits. While they are out-of-network, the clinic is willing to file insurance claims on behalf of patients. They also participate in the Georgia Medicaid/Peachcare program for established patients under 21, though they are not currently accepting new Medicaid patients. The practice accepts various forms of payment, including credit cards and CARE CREDIT, and can discuss financial arrangements prior to treatment. The team is described as warm, friendly, and dedicated to making patients feel calm and comfortable throughout their visit.
