We are delighted to have you as a part of our extended family. We know that you have many options for your dental care and we appreciate that you have chosen us as your provider.
We believe in making our patients aware of our financial policies so that there are no misunderstandings. If you need more information about our policy, please feel free to contact us and we will gladly answer your questions.
Each patient is expected to pay for treatment received at that visit. While we do not currently associate with a particular insurance company, we will be more than glad to file your insurance claim for you.
The patient will be responsible, at the time of the visit, for the estimated remaining balance that will not be covered by the insurance. If for any reason the dental insurance denies your claim, you are still responsible for the remainder of the fees. We want our patients to understand that our financial relationship is with the patient, not with the insurance company.
It's very common for patients to choose dental treatment that their dental insurance plans won't fully pay for.
Dental plans generally set which dental services will be covered and which will not. Many dental plans cover only lower quality materials and services, and these may not be the best treatment choice for you and your family.
And most insurance plans often exclude new treatments that they label as "discretionary," even common treatments such as implants, porcelain veneers, white fillings, bonding, and whitening.
For these reasons, you have a choice to make when it comes to your dental care. In many cases, your insurance plan may want you to consider only the least expensive dental procedures, but we believe that you should be able to choose the best dental treatment and materials for you and your family.
