Practice Policies

Dental insurance is different from medical insurance. Please review the insurance benefit booklet you received from your provider to better understand the benefits available as part of your insurance coverage. The patient payment portion covered for procedures varies depending on the coverage provided by your policy.

Based on the information they provide, an estimate of the amount covered by your insurance company will be provided at the time of your treatment. The estimate is never a guarantee of benefits or the amount that will be paid. We will file all insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. This does not, however, transfer the responsibility of your financial obligation to the insurance company. If the amount paid by the insurance company is less than or greater than the estimate, then you will be billed the difference or issued a credit on the account in the event of an overpayment. 

For orthodontic patients, our experienced team will help you maximize your insurance coverage so you can achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.  Not all insurance plans cover orthodontic treatment, but many do. Please bring your insurance card to your first appointment or consultation so that we can assist you in determining whether or not your insurance plan will help cover your treatment's costs. The patient payment portion covered for orthodontic treatment varies depending on the coverage provided by your plan and the specifics of your orthodontic treatment needs.

Some companies offer Health Savings Accounts for their employees. These accounts are also available to individuals for themselves and their dependents. The plans allow pre-tax deposits to be made to the individual’s account to be used for necessary medical expenses. This means that, in some cases, orthodontics can be paid for with your health savings account funds.
