We make every effort to keep down the cost of your dental care. Payment will be due at the time of your visit and can be made by cash, check, or credit card. If your treatment requires several visits, you will be given an estimate and asked to make definite financial arrangements with a member of our business staff. Please remember that insurance is a method of reimbursing the patient for fees paid to the doctor and is not a substitute for payment.

We follow a program that simplifies the preparation of insurance claim forms, thereby holding down the office costs that are unrelated to the delivery of excellent dental care. The receipt form that we give you at the end of each visit contains all the information needed from the dentists for your insurance company to process your claim. Most claims can be submitted electronically.

If your insurance company has not furnished you with a claim form, we will be happy to provide you with a universal claim form to which you can attach one copy of the receipt form. You can then fill out your identifying information at the top of the form and forward it to your insurance company.

Please remember that no insurance company tries to cover all dental costs. Some companies pay fixed allowances for certain procedures and other pay a percentage of the charge. It is your responsibility to pay any deductible amount, co-insurance, or any other balance not paid for by your insurance company. We know questions can arise on insurance matters. We encourage you to discuss such questions with us. We will be happy to help you to receive the maximum benefits; however the agreement of the insurance company to pay for your dental care is an agreement between you and the company.
