Throughout the day, we continuously and thoroughly sterilize our equipment for your protection. Before and after each patient appointment, all treatment surfaces and all instrument and equipment used (e.g., countertops, chair surfaces, lights, X-ray machines and trays) are disinfected or sterilized using the most effective and safest products available. Staff members use masks, safety glasses and new gloves for each patient. All staff members are trained annually in proper patient protection procedures.

Financial Information & Options
For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, money orders and major credit cards. Payment is expected at the time services are performed. When more extensive dental care is necessary, financial arrangements can be made with our office.
Insurance
As a service to our patients, our practice accepts most dental insurance programs, including non-managed care, indemnity (traditional) and PPO out-of-network. We are not part of any managed care network. Our scheduling coordinator will prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits. However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated. Our staff will gladly submit a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance company so that you will know what your benefits will be.
The fees charged for services rendered to those who are insured are the usual and customary fees charged to all our patients for similar services. Your policy may base its allowances on a fixed fee schedule, which may or may not coincide with our usual fees. You should be aware that different insurance companies vary greatly in the types of coverage available. Also, some companies take care of claims promptly while others delay payment for several months.
