Fees
The fee for your endodontic treatment will be based on the specific tooth involved, the type of treatment necessary, and the extent of treatment. During your first visit we will discuss the options available to you, the relative success rates, the probable number of visits, and the fees involved.
If you have Dental Insurance Coverage
For patients who have dental insurance, we will gladly submit any claims for you to your insurance carrier. We require any co-pays and deductibles to be made at the time our services are rendered. In order to do this, we obtain an estimate of the amount your insurance will cover. These estimates are occasionally inaccuurate. Your insurance company sets a yearly maximum that they will pay for each patient. This yearly maximum varies from insurance company to insurance company. If you have used a portion of your yearly maximum at your dentist office, the insurance company may not have all of your claims processed so they will report an inaccurate available amout.
Understanding Your Insurance
Your dental plan is designed to share in your dental care costs. It will not cover the total cost of your treatment. Most plans cover between 20 and 80 percent of endodontic services. Somtimes, needed services are not covered at all. We will only recommend treatment according to what is best for you, not according to your insurance benefits.
If you DO NOT have Dental Insurance
For those without dental insurance, a minimum payment of 50% of the fee is required at the time of service. The remaining balance is due within 30 days. However, a 5% to 10% credit adjustment is applied if payment is made in full at the time of service.
Payment Options
Payments can be made by cash, check or credit/debit card. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover and Care Credit.
Payment Plans
We are pleased to offer INTEREST FREE PAYMENT PLANS please contact our office for more details.
Minors
A legal guardian must accompany the minor to his or her appointment. Payment for treatment is the responsibility of the accompanying adult.
Appointments
The time reserved for you is 1 to 2 hours. Once an appointment has been made, this time has been reserved exclusively for you. We understand that scheduling conflicts happen and would appreciate at least a 24 hour notice if cancellation of your apponitment is necessary.
