Financial Arrangements:
Once it is determined exactly what treatment procedures are needed and how much those procedures will cost, payment options can be discussed.  Our primary concern is your oral/dental health.  Nonetheless, we will be sensitive to your financial circumstances within the framework of sound business and the standards practice of dentistry. We will make every effort to provide you with a treatment plan which fits your timetable, budget, and gives you the best dental care.

We are Fee for Service practice.  Usually, charges for professional services are due at the time treatment is provided.  Payment must be made by cash, check, debit or credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and Care Credit cards. Financial arrangements can be made at our office through Care Credit, which can offer 6, 9 or 12 months no interest payment options. Care Credit is the leader in Patient/client financing and has helped more than 1 million patients/clients get the treatment or procedures they needed or desired. Please inquire about Care Credit by calling our office or visiting their website carecredit.com.

Dental Insurance:
Our treatment recommendations are always based on your needs and desires, not on what your insurance company would cover or its bottom line. Payments for all dental treatments will be due at the time when services are rendered. Any benefit due to you will come directly to you from your insurance carrier. We can make no guarantee of any estimated coverage, but we’ll do our best to see that you receive your maximum benefits. There are dozens of common dental procedures that are not part of insurance benefit packages. If you would like to know what your expected coverage and reimbursement will be, we can submit a pre-treatment estimate. However, that would delay treatment and potentially jeopardize proper dental care. We will help you get the most benefit from your dental insurance by filing your claim and handling insurance questions promptly on your behalf.  However, we need to remind you that your dental insurance policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company, not between your insurance company and our office.  Dental insurance carriers are in business to make money. They want to pay out as little as possible as late as possible. An attitude of “If my insurance company doesn’t pay for it, I don’t want it,” only hurts you and your oral health.

Cosmetic Dentistry/ Implant dentistry and Insurance:
Cosmetic dental procedures dental implants are generally not covered by most dental insurance policies; however, partial benefits are often available if the teeth are extracted, broken or have previous dental fillings, bonding, or crowns.

Pre-Payment Courtesy (for Fees over $5,000):

A prepayment courtesy of 3% will be deducted from the total fee, if the total fee is paid in full by credit card at or before the first treatment visit.
