What Are Your Different Payment Options?
Our office is making a concerted effort to keep the cost
of your dental care down so that you and your family can
receive quality, individualized care. In order for us to
achieve this goal, payment by cash or check at the time of
your dental visit is preferred. We offer 10% discount for
Senior citizens. As an optional convenience for you, we also
accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.
As an additional courtesy to our patients, we are able to
file your insurance claims and accept an assignment of your
benefit. We ask you to pay the estimated amount not covered
by your insurance at the time of each of your appointments.
We also stress that insurance is an agreement between you
and your insurance company, and that you are ultimately
responsible for paying in full for all of the services you
receive.
How Do You Handle Your Appointments?
To ensure every patient is given quality time,
appointments are required for non-emergency care. We
respectfully schedule your appointments to prevent long
waits, and we will make every effort to stay on schedule. We
believe that your time is as valuable as ours, so you can
expect us to be prompt and efficient.
What Do You Offer That I Can't Get at Most Dental
Practices?
Understanding that many patients are anxious about a
visit to the dentist, we strive to maintain an atmosphere of
gentleness, efficiency and sensitivity. If you are a
newcomer, we would like to offer you a "Get Acquainted Tour"
so that you may personally assess our office and meet our
staff. If you like what you see, we will gladly assist you
in completing paperwork and transferring your records. After
evaluating your teeth, gums, we will take any necessary
x-rays.
Using the specific information we have compiled, we will
recommend a treatment plan for optimal oral health that
includes procedures, options and fees. Your complete
understanding and agreement with this plan will be necessary
before any treatment begins. Follow-up appointments and
regular preventive care visits will be scheduled with your
convenience in mind. While the primary responsibility for
returning for these visits rests with you, we will gladly
provide advanced reminders confirming your reserved time.
What Can I Do to Prevent Problems With My Teeth in the
First Place?
We are committed to preserving your beautiful smile
through high-quality Dental care. The best way to accomplish
this mission is through the prevention of dental disease.
Most dental problems are preventable. With regular checkups
and the use of advanced technology, early detection enables
us to catch problems when they are most treatable and least
expensive. In addition to routine brushing and flossing, we
recommend that our patients schedule dental hygiene
cleanings as specifically tailored for you by the doctor and
dental hygienist. Should a significant problem exist, our
full range of services and expertise allows us to
conveniently treat most conditions here in our office.
