Are you a PPO or preferred provider?

Our office is a preferred provider for many insurance companies. What this means is we accept a reduced fee for services. This reduces your out of pocket expenses. Your insurance company will include our office on a list or on their web site as a designated PPO.

Insurance is intended to cover some, but not all of the cost of dental care. Most plans include some kind of co-pay, a deductible, and other expenses to be paid by the patient, which we respectfully request at the time of service. Our office is more than happy to work with any insurance company; filing insurance claims for you, and accepting direct payment. However, as the patient, you are ultimately responsible for your account, so it is always suggested that you check the particulars of your plan in order to anticipate your out of pocket expenses. Please try to inform us ahead of your insurance information or any insurance changes, so we can make sure we have time to acquire new updates in your coverage. We would be happy to answer any more questions you may have, simply ask one of our friendly and knowledgeable business office members. We are here to assist you!
