Do you accept my dental insurance?

We accept most dental insurance plans and are in network with many providers, including:

• Delta Dental (with Dr. Lake Garner)
• Unum
• Select Administrative Services

In-network plans can vary by dentist, so let us know your insurance when you call and we’ll help you schedule with the right provider for your plan. Don’t see your plan? Give us a call anyway. Many PPO plans include out-of-network benefits, and we’ll help you understand what yours covers.

How does insurance work at our office?

Before your visit, our team will check your benefits so you have a clear picture of what your plan covers. Please share your insurance card with us at least 48 hours before your appointment so we have time to verify your coverage. We file claims directly with your insurance company, and you pay only your portion at the time of your visit.

Our dentists value patient education, so before any treatment we’ll walk you through your options and your estimated cost. You’ll always know what to expect before we begin.

What if I don’t have dental insurance?

You’re always welcome here. Our membership plan is made for patients without insurance. Your membership includes two cleanings with X-rays and fluoride, one emergency visit, and 15% off all treatment. There are no deductibles, no yearly maximums and no claims to file.
