As a specialty dental office, we must adhere to a specific financial policy for all of our patients.  Payment is required at the time of service.  In addition to paying by cash or check, you may use Visa or MasterCard.

Patients with dental benefits/insurance:

 If you have dental insurance, please bring all of the necessary information with you to your dental appointment.  We cannot bill your insurance unless you have provided us with the insurance information.

Many people are under the impression that if they have dental insurance, it is the insurance company, which owes the doctor for his services.  This is not the case.  Dental insurance is a contract between the insurance company and the patient; we are not a party to that contract.  Therefore, it is the patient who is responsible for the bill, regardless of insurance coverage.

As a service to you, our office will submit charges for services to your insurance company.  A t the time of service, an estimated payment (usually 35% of the full fee) is required by the patient to pay for the portion of the service not covered by insurance.  If your insurance company pays in addition to what you have already paid on your total bill, a refund will be sent to you promptly.

 Patients without dental benefits:

Full payment is required at the time of service.  A cceptable forms for payment include cash, check, Visa, or MasterCard. 

Seniors (65+) will be extended a 5% discount when paying by cash or check and paying in full.
