The site states she is a certified Forensic Odontologist. No other board certifications, professional memberships, associations, awards, continuing education or teaching affiliations are published, and no licence numbers are listed. "In the fourth grade, Dr. Gum began telling everyone who would lend an ear that she wanted to be a dentist when she grew up. At the age of fifteen, she got her first job in a dental office and slowly began crafting her dream into a career." Since graduating in 2004 and opening the practice in 2010, the site says she has cultivated an office and a team that defies expectations and offers genuinely personalized care. Outside of work she is described as reading, antiquing, or spending time with her family.

On services generally, the site says: "We're committed to caring for your dental health. On your initial visit with us, Dr. Gum will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current dental health. This process involves familiarizing ourselves with your dental and health history, including going over any available x-rays and concerns with you."

No prices, price list, cost ranges, rates or fees for any service appear anywhere on the site; the billing page says an estimate for treatment is provided beforehand.

The office files and processes insurance claims and states that when submitting a claim it often submits x-rays, per standard practice. Most patients receive an EOB from their insurance company before they receive a statement from the office. The page explains that where a patient has dental insurance, the insurance company pays a portion of the Usual, Customary, and Reasonable (UCR) fee, determined by the contract between the employer and the insurance company. Under the heading "We Proudly Accept the Following PPO Insurance Plans", the page lists: Delta Dental, Cigna, Metlife, Guardian, Aetna, Anthem, Medical Mutual, Superior, United Health Care, Assurant, GEHA, Humana, and Care Credit. The site does not say which specific plans the practice is in-network with, and coverage for any individual policy must be confirmed with the office and the insurer. For patients without dental insurance the office accepts cash, checks, and major credit cards, with payments due at the time of service; patients are asked to call the office to make payment arrangements. The office offers a discount for self-pay patients, but the discount amount is not published — the page asks patients to "ask about it when you come in for your first visit." Online payment is available through a PatientsReach payment portal linked from the site.

Third, diagnosis and consultation: once the cleaning and exam are complete, there is a consultation with Dr. Gum, and if treatment is required the office goes over that information with the patient at that stage. Patients are recommended to bring to a first visit: a list of current medical prescriptions; an insurance card if they have dental insurance; the dates of their last x-rays or the x-rays themselves if available; and comprehensive medical history including relevant diagnoses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart-related illness. New patient forms are available online through a link on the site. The practice describes a warm and welcoming environment created with dental anxiety in mind.
