Dental Insurance

The best way to know how your insurance will cover your visit, is to call our office with your insurance information so we can check your eligibility. Alternatively you may check with your insurance company to see if there are any restrictions on where or who you can see for your dental treatment. We are always happy to research your dental benefits for you.

Understanding Your Dental Benefits

Understanding your healthcare needs can be a difficult thing but trying to understand your healthcare coverages can feel like you are speaking a foreign language. We are here to help! It is important to know that Dental Insurance is NOT like Medical Insurance. Dental Insurance plans usually cover much less and have significantly more restrictions. We encourage our patients to think about their dental plan as a “benefit,” as opposed to an insurance plan. It is a set amount that is designed as a supplement to help you cover the costs of your dental needs each year. In many cases, your dental insurance will not cover all of your necessary treatment.

Most insurance plans use a specific set of terms to describe and define their products. Unfortunately, for those who are not in the insurance field, this terminology can be quite confusing. Our office has created a helpful guide that defines and discusses common insurance terms and clauses.

Financing Your Dental Costs

As a courtesy to all our patients, we are happy to research your insurance benefits and file your dental claims for you at no charge. Your co-pay, or estimated remaining portion, is due in full at the time of service. If your insurance denies a claim or only pays a portion of what was expected, you are responsible for the remaining balance.

We accept multiple forms of payment, such as cash, check, debit or credit card. Our office also participates in a convenient healthcare financing program called Care Credit (see below).
