If you have dental insurance we will do all we can to maximize your benefits, and we will file insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. The front desk staff will do their best to verify your insurance coverage and will estimate the out-of-pocket expense due at the time of appointment. Please remember, this is only an estimate. The true out-of-pocket expense may be more or less than the amount estimated and collected. Most insurance companies will respond within four to six weeks.  You are responsible for the timely payment of any portion not covered by your insurance or you may be reimbursed if the estimate was too much.

Some insurance plans require the patient to pay only a percentage or co-payment directly to our office. Some plans require the patient to pay the entire amount due for that visit. Others will reimburse the covered amount only to the patient. We will work with your plan and submit the forms necessary to receive the reimbursement as a service to our patients.

We accept many different insurance plans all of which have a unique schedule of covered services depending on the plan you or your employer has purchased. There is no guarantee that services will be covered. You, or the person responsible for this account, will be responsible for all fees charged by this office regardless of your insurance coverage. If you wish, we can send a pre-determination to your insurance carrier. This takes about 4-6 weeks after submission for insurance to send an estimate. The advantage is knowing approximately what your out-of-pocket expense will be. However,  treatment will be delayed, and this in itself could complicate matters as problems may worsen.

Payment is due at the time of services rendered.

For your convenience, we accept  Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. We provide high quality care at the most reasonable costs to our patients, therefore payment is due at the time of treatment. If you have any questions regarding your account, please contact our office.

We accept most dental insurance plans including dental PPO plans. 

Please be aware that most dental insurances do not cover the entire cost of your dental care. If you have dental insurance, please bring your insurance card to each visit, and we will file insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. If you have any questions regarding your insurance, please contact your provider or our office.
