How is dental insurance handled in your office?

If you have dental insurance, congratulations! Your dental plan is a form of compensation to you provided by your employer. You can expect the carrier (insurance company) to reimburse you for a portion of our fee. That portion is determined by the contract between your employer and the insurance company. The higher the premium paid by your company, the more generous the reimbursement.

Although we are not a party to the contractual arrangement with your insurance company, we will help you receive the maximum reimbursement to which you are entitled. We’ll process your insurance claims electronically so your insurance company will have it immediately. We will also gladly provide dental x-rays and a written diagnostic report should your insurance company have any questions about the services provided.
At all times, you can be confident that we will always provide you with our best services without regard to the limitations imposed by your insurance coverage. To do otherwise would violate our contract with you — a contract we feel morally obliged to honor
