Call (623) 933-8410 during office hours (Mon–Thu 7 AM to 3 PM), email info@copperskydental.com, or use the online contact form at /contact/. New patients are accepted. ### What areas do you serve? Peoria, Sun City, Sun City West, Glendale, and Surprise, Arizona. The location on the border of Sun City makes the office easily accessible to the entire West Valley. ### Do you accept dental insurance? Yes, most major dental insurance plans. The practice is in-network with Aetna, AlwaysCare, Cigna, GEHA, Guardian, Humana, Lincoln Financial, MetLife, Principal, United Concordia, and UnitedHealthcare. Patients with other plans, including Delta Dental, Physicians Mutual, Meritain Health, Golden Rule, Ameritas, Mutual of Omaha, LINECO, and Chesapeake, are welcome; the practice is not in-network with those plans but processes claims on the patient's behalf. Coverage is verified before each appointment so patients receive clear cost estimates. ### What makes Copper Sky Dental different? Locally and privately owned, not a corporate chain. Dr. Holyoak is in his 50th year of practice, and Dr. Kubik lives in the West Valley. Patients always see the same trusted team, receive honest recommendations, and are treated like family. ### Do you offer emergency dental services? Yes, same-day emergency care for severe toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and dental infections during regular hours. ### How often should I visit the dentist for a checkup? Most patients benefit from a six-month interval for routine exams and cleanings. Patients with gum disease, cavity history, or other oral health concerns may benefit from a shorter interval. ### What happens during a routine dental exam? A thorough examination of teeth, gums, and mouth, including a check for cavities, gum disease, and signs of oral cancer. Digital X-rays as needed. The exam concludes with a professional cleaning. ### Are tooth-colored fillings as durable as silver fillings? Modern composite (tooth-colored) dental fillings are highly durable and can last 5–10 years or longer with proper care. They bond directly to the tooth structure. Many patients prefer them for natural appearance and mercury-free composition. ### How can I prevent cavities between dental visits? Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary foods and drinks, and drink water. Antimicrobial mouthwash can help. Regular cleanings catch and treat small problems before they become larger issues. ### What should I do if I have tooth sensitivity? Try a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. If sensitivity persists, schedule an appointment so the cause can be identified, common causes include worn enamel, exposed roots, cavities, or cracked teeth. ### Do you use digital X-rays? Yes, digital X-rays emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional film, produce instant images for faster diagnosis, and can be easily shared with specialists. ### What dental problems are more common in older adults? Dry mouth (often from medications), root decay due to receding gums, gum disease, worn or sensitive teeth, and issues with existing dental work. Regular visits help address these before they become serious. ### How does dry mouth affect oral health? Dry mouth reduces saliva, which naturally protects teeth from decay. Without adequate saliva, the risk of cavities, gum disease, and oral infections rises. Saliva substitutes, special toothpastes, and lifestyle changes help. ### Can you treat patients with mobility issues or disabilities? Yes, the office is designed with accessibility in mind. The team accommodates wheelchairs, mobility aids, and patients with physical limitations. ### Is it worth getting dental implants at my age? Age alone is not a barrier to dental implants. Many seniors are excellent candidates. Implants can significantly improve quality of life by restoring the ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Overall health, bone density, and individual circumstances are evaluated. ### How do you handle patients who take blood thinners? The team coordinates with the patient's physician where necessary and adjusts treatment protocols. Most routine procedures can be performed safely. All medications, including over-the-counter supplements, should be disclosed. ### Do you offer denture services? Yes, new dentures, repairs, relines, adjustments, and implant-supported dentures. ### Do you offer PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) with tooth extractions? Yes. Dr. Lisa Kubik uses PRF as part of extraction planning where healing needs support, such as surgical or impacted teeth, sockets being preserved for a future implant, and patients who have had a difficult recovery before. PRF is prepared during the appointment from a small sample of the patient's own blood, with no additives or donor material. It is $250 per site, meaning per socket, is usually not covered by dental insurance, and is paid at the time of service. It is separate from the cost of the extraction. Some sockets also require a bone graft, a different procedure that runs $500 to $900 per site and may be covered by insurance. ### Does Copper Sky Dental accept Medicare? Traditional Medicare does not cover most routine dental services. However, many Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits. Copper Sky Dental accepts most major dental insurance plans, including many Medicare Advantage dental plans. The team verifies coverage and explains benefits before treatment. ## Editorial and Medical Review Process Clinical content on copperskydental.com is written by or in close collaboration with Dr. Robert S.
