Dental Insurance:

We do accept most major dental insurances (including: Blue Cross, Blue Shield & Delta Premier Plan) and will work with you to ensure you receive the maximum benefits to which you are entitled.

We accept assignment of your benefits and, at the time of service, your only obligation will be what insurance is expected not to cover. We will then bill your insurance company for their portion. If they reimburse less than expected, you will be responsible to pay the difference.

Payment Options:

Payment of your estimated portion is due at the time of service. We accept
checks, cash, Visa or Mastercard.

If needed, other payment options are available. We will be happy to discuss these with you upon your arrival.
