Terms of Payment

The following is a guide to the terms of payment we accept. We are committed to working with you to match a payment plan to your needs; therefore we offer different options to our patients, which allows for payment to be convenient and flexible . We are available to answer any questions you may have.

Dental Insurance

We will gladly assist you with your dental insurance plan. To help us assist you in determining your maximum benefit, Please bring your insurance explanation of benefits booklet and your insurance card to your first visit . Most plans cover only a portion of the dental fee, therefore as a courtesy to our patients we will file your primary insurance for you but we ask that you pay the noncovered balance at the time of service unless prior arrangements have been made. If you're insurance company has not paid within 60 days you will be billed for the unpaid balance and payment in full will be expected at this time. We recommend you become directly involved in communication with your insurance company in order to expedite payment.

We do not accept assignment of benefits for secondary insurance; however, we will file the claim for you, allowing the payment to come directly to you.
