What patient financial service options do you offer?

Our financial arrangements are limited but it is our intention to accommodate you and to help keep dental costs down. As a courtesy to you, we will always fill out and submit the necessary forms to your insurance company and we will make every effort to estimate in advance what your portion of the cost of treatment will be. Keep in mind, you the patient, are nevertheless the one who is responsible for your insurance coverage and for the dental services provided.

1. For patients without dental insurance, who pay their portion by cash or check on the same day of treatment, we offer a 5% cash discount.

2. For senior citizen patients (over 65) without dental insurance, who pay their portion by cash or check on the same day of treatment, we offer a 10% cash discount.

3. We accept Mastercard/Visa/Discover.
