We Do What It Takes to Keep Things Running Smoothly

Payments: Financing Options

We believe in making financial arrangements as convenient as possible in our office.  With this in mind, we offer the following payment arrangements to our patients:

Full Payment Discount: Any patient who pays in full for services over $1,000, on or before the day of treatment, receives a discount. Specifically, the discount is 5% if paid by cash/check and 2% if paid by credit card.  For your convenience, we accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.

Long Term Financing: We offer financing with CareCredit and the Dental Fee Plan , allowing our patients to have several months of interest-free or low interest rate financing, paid off over a selected number of months or years.

Policies: Insurance Filing

Our office is willing to work with most insurance companies. This means that we will assist you in filing your insurance, and will accept payment from your insurance company.

It's important for patients to understand up front the limitations of their own coverage, and take responsibility for their portion of the bill not covered by insurance. For example, our fees are not negotiable, as they've been determined based on our time, materials and overhead costs. Unfortunately, insurance companies vary in their coverage amounts for various dental procedures. It's not uncommon for a company to consider complex (but necessary) procedures to be "over and above the customary treatment". We do not consider our office as usual and customary. As many of our patients say, our office is far and above the "customary" in treatment of our family of patients. In any case, we're well-versed in the latest coverage trends, and are more than happy to discuss the particulars of your plan with you prior to any treatments you may undergo.

Policies: Appointments

Our doctors and staff value your time. In order to provide excellent care to all our patients, we request that all appointment cancellations be made at least 24 hours in advance. We also respectfully reserve the right to reschedule any patient who is fifteen minutes or more late for their scheduled time. This ensures that you'll avoid being billed for our time and preparation; it also enables us to work on other patients' emergency visits. Patients with a habitual trend of last minute cancellation will be discharged from the practice.

Policies: Emergencies

For after hour emergencies, please call the office for instructions on how to page the doctor on call. If you require a visit after hours there will be an additional surcharge.
