How fees work

If you don't have insurance, or your plan doesn't cover what you need, you pay for the visit. Before we start, you get the fee in writing. Financing is offered by third-party lenders. Approval and terms are set by the lender.

You can ask for a written estimate before any treatment. If you're paying without insurance, we give you a written good faith estimate in advance, when you schedule or whenever you ask. It lists the visit, each step we expect and the fee for each.

We're in network with some PPO dental plans and out of network with the rest. Call us with your plan's name and we confirm it before the visit. We don't work with DHMO plans and we aren't enrolled with Medicaid or CHIP. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan with a dental benefit, call us and we'll check it.

After each visit we give you an itemized receipt with the procedure codes. You can send it to a plan that reimburses out-of-network care. Whether the plan pays, and how much, is the plan's decision.

If your plan is in our network, we check your benefits before the visit and tell you what we expect it to pay. It's an estimate, not a promise: the plan decides when it receives the claim. If we're not in your network, call the number on your card and ask what it pays for an out-of-network dentist.

About an hour: a talk about what worries you, an exam, X-rays only if the dentist needs them and a written estimate before any treatment. Fill in your health history on our private patient portal, not by email or in the contact form.
