FORMS

PAYMENT

Payment is expected at the time services are rendered, unless other arrangements have been made. This includes co-payments and deductibles (balances not paid by your insurance).

For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, Discover, MasterCard, Visa, and American Express.

INSURANCE

We process most dental insurance plans. Please familiarize yourself with your insurance plan; paying close attention to your benefit maximums, deductibles, and covered percentages. Our staff will prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits. However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company.

Please know that you are responsible for your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated. We do not render our services on the basis that insurance companies will pay all of our fees. We base our treatment on what is best for you. Your benefits are contracted between your employer and your insurance company.
