Payment & Office Policies

Cost

The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's problem. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options before treatment begins. We have payment plans to suit different budgets. We also accept assignment from most insurance plans, and file the necessary papers to the insurance company. We work hard to make dental care affordable and to make sure that you maximize your insurance benefits.

Fees

In an effort to keep fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established this financial policy.

If full payment is made on balances over $1000, at the onset of treatment, we will offer a fee adjustment since no further bookkeeping fee is needed.

To fit your individual needs for extensive treatment, financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over a period of months. We offer outside financing through healthcare partners of Care Credit and Unicorn. For your convenience, we also accept payment by VISA, MASTERCARD and DISCOVER.

Insurance

If you have insurance, we will help you to determine the coverage you have available. Professional care is provided to you, our patient, and not to an insurance company. Thus, the insurance company is responsible to the patient and patients are responsible to the doctor. We will help in every way we can in filing your claim and handling insurance questions from our office on your behalf.

Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company.  As your dental provider, we are not privy to this agreement.  Your patient portion must be paid at time of service.  The quality of insurance policies varies greatly, therefore we can estimate your coverage, but can not provide any guaranteed coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts.
