It is our goal to provide the best dental care for you. To do this, it is important that we do not allow dental benefits to be a determining factor in the diagnosis. Your treatment will be based upon your needs, and we assume that you are asw concerned as we are about maintaining your good health.

The term "dental insurance" is misleading. What is commonly known as "dental insurance" is more correctly termed dental benefits. Dental benefits are not intended to pay everything, but to assist with costs of dental treatment. Generally, dental benefits pay a percentage up to a set yearly maximum. The benefits available to you are established by which plan package your employer has purchased.

As a courtesy to you, we will submit your dental treatment claims to your dental plan carrier. We also accept assignment*, meaning that we will make a "good-faith" estimate of the expected benefit payment and allow you to pay your estimated portion at the time your services are provided. Please be aware that dental insurance has become increasingly unpredictable and because of that, we do NOT guarantee any estimate, and should your dental plan pay less than expected, you are fully responsible for the balance. We take no responsibility for any denials by dental plans. Any question regarding denials or lack of benefits should be directed to your employer or hyman resources person to further explain the benefits they have chosen for you.

*except in such cases that the insurance company will NOT send paym,ent directly to us, i.e. Delta Dental.
