Are you in network with insurance?
We provide individualized care for each patient and focus on finding the cause of the problem rather than providing a temporary solution. Being a fee for service office allows us to customize your treatment. In the past, our staff has spent an extraordinary amount of time and resources fighting to insure that we are paid for the services rendered by the insurance companies. We believe in the care that we are providing even if your insurance company doesn’t.
In most scenarios we do not accept assignment of insurance benefits as payment for treatment. This means that you may be asked to pay for all services in full and your insurance company will reimburse you directly. We will send in dental insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients.
Do you accept Medicare or Medicade?
We do not accept Medicare or Medicade.
Why do I need a comprehensive exam? Can’t you look at my teeth after I get my cleaning?
A comprehensive exam includes a close look at the gingiva (gums) and will determine what type of cleaning you need. If your gums are in a state of disease, a simple cleaning will not be appropriate for you and will not be the best use of your time and money. We prefer to give you all of the information you need about your health in order for you to make informed decisions about your treatment.
Do you extract wisdom teeth?
We do not extract wisdom teeth. We refer patients to an oral surgeon.
Do you do implants?
Not yet, but we’d be happy to point you in the right direction. We recommend a comprehensive periodontal exam prior to placement of an implant to increase your chances of successful integration. If you have any questions about this, please give us a call!
