Payment Options
For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, credit cards and offer 2-3 month in-office payment plans. If extended payments are needed we participate with CareCredit. Our policy is not to put financial situations in front of dental care. We try our best to deliver the finest dental care at the most reasonable cost to our patients.
We understand that special circumstances sometimes exist. We will do our best to see that arrangements are made so that you can receive the treatment that you want and need. If you need to discuss other payment options for major dental treatment then simply ask.

Billing and Insurance
At our dental office, affordability for our patients is important.
Since we are a fee-for-service dental provider, payment is expected when services are rendered. We also accept all PPO insurance plans as an out of network provider - PPO plans allow patients to select a dentist of their choice. Patients pay for their treatment at the time of service; as a courtesy we electronically file your claim and the insurance reimbursement check is sent directly to the patient.
Most insurance companies respond to dental claims within 7-10 business day. If there are any issues regarding your claim, no worries, our dental team will advocate for all our dental insurance patients to the best of our abilities to maximize their insurance reimbursement for covered procedures.
No insurance? No problem! Call and ask about our In-Office Dental Membership Plan.
Financing Options
With three simple steps, including an instant approval process, it’s easy to apply for CareCredit.
CareCredit is here to help you pay for treatments and procedures your insurance doesn’t cover. CareCredit offers 6-month no interest financing or low minimum monthly payment options so you can get what you want, when you want it.
