Good communication is the foundation of building any great relationship. In order to provide our patients with exceptional customer service and build a bond of trust, we do our best to answer all questions with truth and accuracy. It has been our experience that insurance benefits are confusing to most people. Even those who work with it on a regular basis find it complex and difficult at times. We want your experience at our office to be easy and as stress free as possible. It helps if we, you and our office, have prior knowledge of your current insurance coverage.
One way to avoid the "surprises" of insurance is to be aware of your policy. Knowing the benefits, as well as the exclusions and limitations, goes a long way. If you do not have a copy of your policy, contact the insurance company directly or the HR representative at your workplace. Either of them should be happy to provide you with what you need. Of course, we realize sometimes the dental jargon is perplexing and you need a dictionary to decipher the meaning. Hopefully, between your insurance's customer service department and us, we can make sense of it all.
Another thing to keep in mind is we can only give you an estimate of what your insurance will pay on a claim. We would love to give you exact numbers, but unfortunately the insurance company's agreement is with you and they will not share information they deem to be private. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding with this matter. Working together, we can make the best of a confusing situation and come out smiling on the other side.

Do You Take My Insurance?
What Does Usual and Customary Mean?
If your dental insurance policy requires you to go to a participating provider, you should not be charged the difference between these two prices. Remember, you will still be responsible for your co-payment. A contracted dentist generally has an agreement with the dental insurance company to write off the difference in charges. If the policy allows you to go to a dentist of your choice, check the insurance company's UCR fee guide against the fees that dentist charges. You may be required to pay the difference out of your pocket. However, you cannot put a price tag on quality dental care.
What is a "Missing Tooth" Clause?
For example, if you lost a tooth before your coverage started and later decided that you would like to have a partial, bridge or dental implant to replace the missing tooth, the insurance company would not have to pay for that service if they have a missing tooth clause in their dental plan.
