Our office wants all of our patients to be able to comfortably afford dental care. We will gladly discuss our payment options with you before beginning your treatment. We proudly offer the following financial policy so that you can have the opportunity to decide which payment option best suits your needs:
Dental Insurance: Our office will gladly work with you to help get the maximum benefit available to you. Most dental insurance plans do not cover 100% of your cost of treatment. Therefore, you will be asked to pay your deductible and your co-payment for the charges on the day the services are rendered. We are happy to file the forms necessary to assure you receive the full benefit of your dental insurance. We will gladly estimate your coverage; however, many variables exist from carrier (i.e. deductibles, annual maximums, allowable fee limitations, non-covered procedures and other restrictions). Therefore, we cannot guarantee any estimated charges. Because your insurance company has an agreement between you and the insurance company, ultimately you are responsible for all charges. Please know that we will do everything possible to see that you receive the full benefits from your insurance company. If for some reason your insurance company has not paid their portion within 60 days from the start of treatment, you are responsible for payment at that time.
