Prior to the patient's appointment our staff will contact the dental insurance to verify eligibility, check deductibles, maximum amounts & the reasonable & customary percent insurance pays on the scheduled procedure. Estimated co-insurance and deductibles are collected the day services are rendered.
We also encourage every patient to contact their dental plan so they are fully aware of their coverage and any limitations. The insurance relationship constitutes an agreement between the carrier and the patient. As such, we can make no guarantee of the estimated coverage or payment.
As a courtesy, claims are filed electronically to achieve the maximum reimbursement to which the patient is entitled.

Our Fees
Fees are determined by the complexity of the tooth being treated. These fees are considerably lower than alternative treatments such as bridges or implants.
The fee for the root canal will include all necessary dental x-rays, additional visits needed to complete the treatment, routine post-operative care and routine re-evaluations.
Any additional procedures (such as initial consultations, post and core buildups, surgery, emergency pulpotomy or after-hour visits) will be subject to additional charges.
