My dental team and I cannot provide the kind of personalized care and level of service our patients have come to expect and enjoy if we do volume dentistry. We prefer a much more human, personalized approach, giving each patient our total attention during their appointment. If you have dental insurance, as a courtesy to you we will bill your insurance company if you provide us the necessary information prior to beginning treatment. It is important to understand, however, that fees for dental treatment are always the responsibility of the patient. We will estimate your benefits and ask that the portion not covered by insurance be paid at time of service.
Insurance is a benefit to cover a catastrophic, unplanned event.
Dentistry does not fall into this categories . The cost of providing dentistry, however, has gone up considerably, reflecting the cost of living increases, inflation, government mandates requiring greater expense to provide dentistry, licensing, better but more costly materials, etc. What this means is that often times the dentistry needed will not fall within the dental benefits that were designed for dental costs of 25 years ago. With the cost of providing dentistry today, the insurance benefits should not be the determining factor of what treatment needs to be done. Unfortunately, many people have become programmed to seek only the dentistry covered by insurance.
