Financial Considerations

Charges for services are due at the time dental treatment is provided. We make every effort to provide you with a treatment plan tailored to your timetable and budget, while at the same time giving you the best possible dental care available.

Most insurance companies will not cover 100% of all dental expenses. Your portion, not covered by insurance, is due at the time treatment is performed.

Please understand that dental insurance is a contract between the patient and the insurance carrier, and not between the insurance carrier and the dentist. The patient is the responsible party regarding dental fees. As part of our service, we will help process all your insurance claims. In order for us to serve you, please bring in a completed dental insurance form or proof of insurance at each appointment.

Please be aware that we are only capable of approximating your portion due to the large number of insurance companies. These companies do not notify this office of changes in their policies.

If we are accepting payment from your insurance company, the estimated amount not to be paid by the insurance company will be due at each dental visit. If payment has not been received from the insurance company within 60 days, the balance will automatically revert to you and this balance will be due within 90 days from the original date of service.

For your Convenience several payment options are available:
Cash, personal check, Visa and Mastercard are always welcomed. We offer a 5% cash bookkeeping courtesy on all proposed treatment plans over $200.00. The courtesy will be given when paid in full prior to that appointment date. A refund will be made if the proposed treatment is not completed.

Dental Credit Card
We have made arrangements with CareCredit that will finance your dental work with approved credit. This will allow you to complete your dental work with out delay and make relatively small monthly payments. Application forms are available at the reception desk.

Gradual Treatment Plan
If it will be easier financially for those patients without dental insurance, we can plan the completion of your dental work by spreading your appointments over several months or years. We will arrange do the more urgent services at the beginning of the treatment.
