How can I verify if my insurance covers the treatment I need?

Our knowledgeable staff is here to help you understand your insurance benefits. Simply provide us with your insurance details, and we will verify your coverage, explain your benefits, and give you an estimate of any out-of-pocket costs for your treatment.

Do you accept out of network plans?

Yes, we can work with out-of-network insurance plans. While coverage and reimbursements may vary, our team can assist with submitting claims to help you maximize your dental benefits. Please contact us for more information on how this process works.

Will you file insurance claims on my behalf?

Absolutely! We handle insurance claims processing for our patients to make things as stress-free as possible. After your visit, we’ll submit the required claims directly to your provider and work to ensure you receive your benefits promptly.

What if my insurance doesn't cover the entire cost of treatment?

If your insurance doesn’t cover the full cost of your treatment, we offer several payment options to make dental care affordable.
