When we propose treatment for a patient, the most common questions we get are “Will it hurt?” and “Does my insurance cover that/How much will it cost?”

Well, in regards to the first question, we use all resources available to make all procedures comfortable. This includes topical/local anesthetics, Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and various other anxiety reducing methods.

The answer to the second question is often not as simple. Whether or not insurance covers any given procedure is dictated by individual plans. All insurance plans are different. Each plan has different yearly maximums, waiting periods, co-pays, etc. At Douglas Dental we make every effort to give our patients accurate estimates as to what we estimate insurance will cover on any given procedure. We are up front about our fees and the reality that insurance may not cover certain procedures.

Our goal is to assist, however possible, in making recommended and necessary treatment affordable. This includes accepting Care Credit, Credit/Debit Cards, and working with most major insurance companies. Jane in our front office is well qualified to answer insurance and billing questions should they arise.
