Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Tulsa
Sand Springs, Oklahoma
Dentist for Sand Springs families
A twenty minute drive east on Highway 412 to a family owned practice that is not part of a chain.
Serving Sand Springs
Sand Springs sits directly west of Tulsa along the Arkansas River, and the drive in to our Midtown office is generally about twenty minutes east on Highway 412 and then south, depending on traffic through the river crossing.
The city was founded by Charles Page as a home for widows and orphans, and that history is still visible in the Page Memorial buildings and in the civic layout around the triangle downtown. It gives Sand Springs a distinct identity from the newer suburbs on the south side of Tulsa, and the housing stock is generally older, with a lot of mid century homes and long settled families.
Industry along the river has been part of the local economy since the town was founded. That matters for dentistry more than it sounds, because we see a higher proportion of patients from Sand Springs who need custom mouthguards for work and sport, and who need restorative treatment after dental trauma. It also means a lot of shift work, so early morning appointments are the ones Sand Springs patients ask for most.
What we see most from Sand Springs
Industry along the river has been part of Sand Springs since the town was founded, and it shows: we see a higher proportion of custom mouthguards for work and sport from this direction, and more restorative treatment after dental trauma. Shift work also means early appointments are the ones people ask for.
None of that means we only do one thing for one town. It is simply the pattern, and it is worth saying out loud because it tells you what your neighbours found useful about driving here.
Everything in one office
Diamond Dental is family owned and locally run, not part of a chain. Cleanings and deep cleanings, crowns, fillings, veneers, clear aligners, TMJ treatment, injectables, implants, extractions, and wisdom teeth all happen in this office. For a Sand Springs family that is the difference between solving a problem on the trip you already made and starting a second one on the other side of Tulsa.
Dr. Mariam Hanna earned her DDS at Howard University College of Dentistry and completed a one year general practice residency in sedation and oral surgery at LSU Health Sciences Center. That training is the reason surgical and sedation cases stay here rather than being referred on, including patients on several medications or with conditions that need watching during a procedure.
She is also a member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, which is the training behind the TMJ treatment and injectables offered here.
If the dentist is not somewhere you enjoy going
Two things keep people away, and they are cost and a bad experience somewhere else. We quote treatment before starting it, and nobody here will comment on how long it has been since your last visit.
Nitrous gas is available the same day for most appointments and oral sedation can be arranged in advance. There is also a therapy dog, blankets, and iPads, and you can ask for any of it at check in without giving a reason. The comfort menu page sets out the lot.
New patients from Sand Springs
The new patient visit is $125 for an adult and $90 for a child, covering the exam, digital X-rays, and a cleaning. Gum measurements are taken at that appointment, because that is what tells us whether a standard cleaning is right for you or whether gum disease needs treating first.
We accept most PPO plans, including Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, MetLife, and Delta, and our team handles the back and forth with the insurance company. If you do not have dental insurance, ask about Smile Club, our in house monthly membership. The current offers page lists what is included.
Families from Sand Springs regularly book several appointments back to back so one drive covers everybody. Ask for that when you call and we will arrange it.
Bring your insurance card, a list of any medications you take including over the counter ones, and the name of your previous dentist if you have records worth transferring. If you are in pain or something has broken, say so when you book rather than waiting until you arrive, because that changes how much time we set aside for you.
