Financial Arrangements

We welcome a variety of payment options. Cash, check, major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover), or Care Credit are accepted.

As a courtesy to our patients with dental benefits, we will submit your claim to your insurance company. Any portion not expected to be covered by these benefits is the responsibility of the patient and due at the time dental treatment is performed. This amount will include deductibles and co-payments. Please understand that this is only an estimate, not a guarantee of payment, and is based on information available to us from your insurance company. If after 90 days your insurance company has not paid its portion, the patient will be responsible for paying the balance in full.

The person who accompanies a minor child to the appointment is considered the responsible party. That person, therefore, is responsible for any payment due at the time service is rendered. For unaccompanied minors, non-emergency treatment will be denied unless charges have been pre-authorized before the appointment date or previous arrangements have been made with our office manager. Marital status is not a consideration under any circumstance. Decreed custody or lack thereof does not alter financial responsibility.

Dentures, partials, crowns and bridges fabricated by a dental laboratory. A 50% deposit will be required at the time of the first impression. The remaining balance is due at the time the prosthesis is cemented or inserted.

Pay the total cost (when fees are over $200) of the procedure up to one week before the start of the work and receive a 5% discount. This also eliminates the worry of your insurance covering its portion within the time allowed. Payment by cash or check only, please.

We are pleased to offer outside financing through Care Credit. Those who qualify will use the Care Credit card as a form of payment at the time of service. Payments then are arranged through that company. This program is similar to a credit card, offering low monthly payments and flexibility to those who qualify. This nationwide plan also can be used for vision, veterinary, cosmetic surgery, and more at participating providers.

With Care Credit, you can receive same day approval, so there is no delay in your treatment.  Please ask our staff for further details before your appointment, or visit Care Credit at www.carecredit.com.

We offer a 5% discount when you pay cash in full at the time of service.

We offer a 10% discount to patients age 65 and better. For patients with insurance, your discount is taken off your estimated personal portion at the time of service.
