We will gladly assist in the completion of the necessary paper work required. - We will accept payment from your dental insurance company directly and keep your credit card number on file to facilitate the collection of any remaining balance.
How does dental & orthodontic insurance work?
There are many different agreements between dental and orthodontic insurance carriers and their subscribers, and each contract provides a different benefit. However, orthodontic insurance generally differs from regular dental insurance in that each insured individual usually has a lifetime maximum benefit for orthodontic services. This benefit is paid as a percentage of the orthodontic fee (diagnostic records, initial fee, monthly payments, etc.) until the benefit maximum has been reached. Charges for lost or broken appliances may not be covered by insurance.
