Financial Information

Most insurance companies respond within four to six weeks, and you will receive a monthly statement.

You are responsible for all fees not covered by insurance. If additional tests are needed such as lab work or a biopsy, you will be billed directly by those providers and will be responsible for submitting payment directly to them.

Your prompt payment is appreciated. Payment arrangements may be considered if discussed in advance of treatment.

Preventative Plan

The Preventative Plan is an annual reduced-fee savings plan for families and individuals that allows all Members to receive quality dental services at greatly reduced prices. Unlike conventional insurance plans, there are no deductibles, no yearly maximums, and no waiting periods to begin treatment.

Plan Members may purchase a Secondary Preventive Plan for additional family members for $477.00 each. Eligible family members include spouses and dependent children under the age of 19 (up to 26 if the dependent is a full-time student). All plan membership fees are payable in full at the time of registration and are non-refundable.

Payments for the Preventive Plan must be check, cash or credit card (Care Credit and Cherry are not a payment option).

All plan membership fees are payable in full at the time of registration and are non-refundable. Plan duration is for one year from the registration date and must be renewed 30 days prior to end date or plan members will be subject to a year without coverage. A missed appointment fee of 25% of treatment total will be charged for all missed dental appointments. Please notify our office 48 hours in advance, if you must change a scheduled appointment.
