MEET YOUR DENTIST
Dr. Allison Reyes, DDS
I opened Riverbend because I wanted a practice small enough to know the families who walk through the door. I have practiced in Calhoun County since 2011, and most of my week is ordinary preventive work: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and catching small problems before they get expensive.
My job is to show you what I see, in plain language, and give you the honest options. Sometimes that means watching something for six months. Sometimes it means fixing it now. Either way you leave knowing why, and what it costs.
I live here in Battle Creek with my husband and two children.

IN THEIR WORDS
What patients tell us
Comments shared with our front desk.
I put off a crown for two years because I was afraid of the bill. Dr. Reyes showed me the x-ray, gave me one number, and let me think about it.
My son is seven and had cried at two other offices. Here they let him hold the mirror and told him what every tool was for.
Called at eight with half a molar and was in the chair by ten. No lecture about how long it had been, just a fix that day.
Names shortened at the request of our patients.

QUESTIONS
The things people ask before they book
I have a toothache right now. What should I do?
Call us first thing at (269) 555-0177. We hold space each morning for urgent visits. If you have swelling, a fever, or trouble swallowing or breathing, call 911 or go to the emergency room instead.
Do you take my insurance?
Likely yes. We are in network with Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, MetLife and Guardian, and file claims for most other plans. Call with your member ID and we will check it for free.
How long does a first visit take?
About an hour, covering the exam, your x-rays, and time to talk through what we find. If you are also having a cleaning, allow 75 minutes.
I am nervous about the dentist. Can you work with that?
Yes, and you are not unusual here. Tell us when you book. We will walk you through the room first, agree on a stop signal you can raise at any point, and begin nothing until you say you are ready. If you need more help, we can talk about nitrous oxide and shorter visits.
Do you offer payment plans?
We do. Larger treatment can be spread over monthly payments through CareCredit, and we explain the terms before anything is signed. You get a written estimate first.
