Every effort is being made to keep down the cost of dental care. You can help us by paying for treatment at the time of your visit. If your treatment requires several visits, you will receive an estimate of the proposed services so that some form of financial arrangements can be made.

To assist you in this, several options are available for your convenience.

•Payment at the time service is rendered by cash, check, VISA, MasterCard or American Express

•Outside financing.

•Professional budget plan after an initial payment; the balance is divided into monthly installments.

Your Insurance
As a courtesy to our patients, we will complete and file insurance forms relative to dental services. However, unlike medical insurance, dental insurance does not usually cover 100% of the charges incurred. We will be happy to determine the benefits allowable under your policy, and whenever your insurance requires a predetermination of benefits before work is started, we will submit to the insurance company a treatment sequence with charges so that you will be completely aware of your coverage. Please note that you must complete your portion of the insurance form and sign it where indicated.

During the course of treatment you will receive statements on a monthly basis regardless of your insurance coverage. Except for emergency care, any extensive treatment will be delayed until benefits are established. Patients will be expected to begin payment on their projected balance at the time treatment begins.

We hope this clarifies our office policy regarding dental insurance. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at any ti
