FAQs

While we don't have direct contracts with insurance companies, we assist patients in filing their insurance claims as a courtesy. We prioritize patient care over insurance limitations, aiming to provide optimal treatment within your physical and financial constraints. At each visit, we'll provide an estimated out-of-pocket cost based on your treatment plan, due that day unless otherwise arranged. Please note that actual insurance payments may vary, and you're responsible for any remaining balance. Our team is always available to address questions about financial arrangements and insurance estimates.

We accept various payment methods, including cash, personal checks (for established patients), CareCredit, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, Cherry payment plans, and major credit cards. Our administrative staff can discuss financial arrangements in our office. For established patients, we may offer limited payment plans on a case-by-case basis, which need to be set up before treatment begins, except in emergencies. Our team is ready to answer any questions about payment options and insurance estimates.

The cost of dentistry often stems from neglecting oral health. We encourage regular preventative care, good at-home habits, and a healthy diet to minimize dental expenses. For most patients who follow these practices, dental care becomes a manageable routine cost. However, some patients may face higher risks due to medical conditions or circumstances beyond their control. It's worth noting that recent advancements in dental technology, while improving care, have also increased the cost of cutting-edge treatments.

We don't provide traditional dental insurance, but we do offer a Cherry preventative plan for patients without access to standard dental coverage. This plan helps patients budget for routine cleanings, exams, X-rays, and other proactive dental care. It's important to note that this is not insurance, but rather a plan that covers preventative care only. For more information about this plan, you can visit our website or contact our office to discuss it in detail with our team.
