Financial and Insurance Policies
You deserve the best dentistry available. It is our philosophy to be transparent and honest about dental fees. Complex restorative, implant, and cosmetic dentistry can be a significant investment, and it is our goal to help make our dentistry affordable to all our patients. By understanding your needs and listening to your circumstances, we are often able to customize and phase our dental treatment plans to better serve you. Our business managers will explain all of your payment and financing options before any work begins.
Unfortunately, dental insurance is not designed to pay for all the costs of high quality dental treatment. Dental insurance is not truly “insurance” and cannot be compared to medical insurance. This benefit works like a “coupon” that may reduce certain costs of care. However, no dental benefit plan is meant to cover all of your costs. Many procedures are not normally covered by insurance but are still worth the investment when you consider your systemic and mental health; including the confidence and higher self esteem that comes when you are proud of your smile.
Payment for Services
Our office accepts all major credit cards, cash, and personal check for dental care. Financing options are available. Payment is expected at the time of service.
Dental Insurance
For patients with dental insurance, our office provides expert dental claims assistance. For no additional fee, we will expertly prepare and submit all claims. For some insurance companies, reimbursement is sent directly from the insurance company to the insured party. Please remember, your dental coverage is a contract between you and your selected insurance company. It is your responsibility to understand your coverage. We prefer misunderstandings not occur. Even for those that are not “In-Network,” please remember that most insurances will still provide out of network coverage. We submit to all insurance and will maximize whatever coverage you have signed up for. Our office is currently contracted with Cigna. For those without insurance, or those unhappy with their current plans, please contact our business managers to discuss your options.
