We never want costs to stand in the way of quality treatment, which is why we are dedicated to providing our patients with care that is both effective and affordable. Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered. We accept payment by cash, checks, and Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards. We also offer flexible in-house payment plans as well as discounts for payment in full at the start of treatment and for multiple family members in treatment.

If you have any questions about financing or payment, ask us! We will thoroughly explain your choices and work hard to accommodate you.

Insurance

Insurance is a contract between your employer and your dental carrier. Benefits are based on the terms of that contract. Maximums and co-pays vary significantly from one employer to another. We urge you to become familiar with your plan and any limitations of the benefits provided.

Orthodontic insurance differs from traditional dental insurance. The benefit is a “lifetime benefit,” meaning it is paid only once in a patient’s lifetime. Rarely, does an orthodontic benefit renew annually. Orthodontic benefits are issued in monthly or quarterly payments over the duration of the patient’s treatment, not in one large payout. Therefore, it is important to notify our office of any changes or termination in your policy. As a courtesy, our office does accept assignment of benefits and will complete and submit your claims for you. Please be aware that you are ultimately responsible for any unpaid benefits.

Our office does not currently accept any government funded insurance companies, for example; Medicaid, Buckeye, Caresource or Molina. Any treatment rendered in our office would be self-pay with the option of setting up financial arrangements around your care.
