Together let's learn what you want in terms of your smile, chewing ability and comfort. And then let's find a way to get you there. It might take a day, a week, months or even years. But let us get you on a path for dental health and help you stay on that path.
Paying for dental care
Check or credit card with help from your dental insurance. Or, we can help you seek financing for your care.
Dental Insurance
We accept all PPO or Indemnity insurance plans. We are a Preferred Provider for Delta, Cigna, Humana, BCBS (Blue Cross Blue Shield) of Texas, BCBS Federal and Dentemax. Soon we will be a preferred provider for MetLife and Aetna.
If you belong to a traditional insurance plan we can assist you by filing your insurance claim. Traditional insurance is typically one in which you can choose any dentist you desire. If you are not sure what type of plan you have, we will be happy to call for you and explain your benefits to the best of our ability.
In an effort to provide high quality dental care and to clarify our position on filing for your insurance benefits, we would like to share some facts about dental insurance with you:
Your dental insurance is based on a contract between your employer and the insurance company. While we will attempt to estimate your dental benefits to the best of our ability, this is an estimate ONLY, and should not be depended on as the final decision. Should questions arise, it is best to contact your insurance company directly.
- You may receive notification from your insurance company stating dental fees are "higher than usual and customary". An insurance company surveys a geographic area, calculates an average fee and then takes that fee and considers it customary. Included in this survey are discount clinics and managed care facilities, which bring down the average. Most doctors in private practice will have fees, which are defined as "above usual and customary".
- Many plans tell participants they will be covered "up to 80% or up to 100%" but do not clearly specify plan fee schedule allowances, annual maximums or limitations. Insurance companies do NOT cover all dental services.
Payment Options
Our staff will estimate your insurance coverage at each visit and ask you to pay the difference each time. Please note that this is an ESTIMATE only. If there is an additional balance due after the insurance claim is paid we will bill you. We gladly accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express.
