Financial Responsibility 

Please remember you are responsible for charges associated with each of the services you receive during the course of your treatment. You (or your parent/legal guardian for minors) must pay for the services that you receive in our office.  While you may have insurance of financial support that may pay all or a portion of the fees, you remain legally fully responsible for the entire bill.  

  • Payment of services is DUE on the day services are provided.
  • If you do not have insurance, the entire amount of your bill will be due before your procedure.
  • For your convenience we accept:  Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, personal checks and cash.
  • We can provide you information about low interest financing plans that available form outside financing sources such as Care Credit.

Insurance

Please remember you are fully responsible for all fees charged by this office regardless of your insurance coverage.

We accept most Dental PPO’s, some Dental DMO’s and some medical insurance plans.  If you have this type of insurance, we will assist you in receiving the maximum allowable benefits under your insurance policy.  We will file claims on your behalf and in many cases we can receive some payments directly from the insurance provider.  Most insurance companies will respond within 4-6 weeks.  We do not guarantee the final payment amounts from your insurance company.  If full payment from the insurance company for services on your behalf is not made after claim submission of procedures, you will be responsible for any remaining balance.  Feel free to call us regarding specific plans.  

We will collect a portion of the estimated bill before your appointment.  We determine this amount by estimating the services we believe you will receive and then estimating the charges you will incur.  Please remember this is only an estimate.  It is not always possible to determine the exact charges you will require.  Additional or fewer services may be necessary, in which case your charges may be greater or less than the estimate.

Treatment Decisions 

We feel strongly that treatment decisions must ultimately be made by considering the information from your surgeon.  While you may consider insurance coverage, it should not be the determining factor in your treatment choice. 

Please feel free to contact our Financial Coordinator with any questions.
