FAQ
Changes
in Your Medical History
So that we can take every necessary precaution when providing
excellent dental care, please notify us of any change in your
medical history. Also, please inform us of any change in name,
address, phone number, marital status, employment and insurance
coverage.
Recare
Visits
Once the basic portion of your dentistry is completed, we will
schedule recall appointments for your periodic dental cleanings
and examinations are regular intervals. The time between appointments
will vary depending on your individual care requirements.
We hope you share in our belief that regular preventive dental
health care is a sound investment. While the responsibility for
returning for this treatment rests primarily with you, we will
provide the service of reminding you by phone and mail.
Financial
Policy
We have made and will continue to make every effort to keep down
the cost of your dental care. Our policy is to request payment
at the time of your dental treatments.
We do our best to adjust to our patient’s requirements in
planning for the investment in excellent dental health. Our treatment
coordinator will work with you to arrange a treatment plan that
fits your timetable and budget. We will be happy to discuss every
procedure and fee before we start. We also will help you arrange
for payment, as several methods are acceptable. Please talk to
our office manager if you have any questions.
Insurance
As a convenience to our patients with dental insurance, our office
will submit the charges to your insurance carrier at no extra
cost. We do ask that you call your insurance company if a claim
remains unpaid for a period of two weeks after services are rendered.
Please understand that your insurance is a contract between you
and the insurance company. No insurance company covers all dental
costs. Some companies pay fixed allowances for certain procedures
and others pay a percentage of the charge.
It usually takes three to six weeks for benefits to be paid. If
after 60 days the insurance company has not paid, we ask the patient
to pay the balance of their account. If a problem arises then
it will be necessary for you to contact your insurance company
to expedite payment.
Patient
Referrals
Our practice has grown thanks to our referrals. We appreciate
your trust in us when one of our patients recommends a friend,
coworker, or family member.
