What if I don't have dental insurance?

Dental insurance is not a requirement for periodontal care. Every individual that contacts our office undergoes the same thorough evaluation and we provide the same level of service whether dental insurance benefits are available or not. Dental Insurance is a helpful asset, but these days, we recommend that you think of it as a type of financial aid, rather than something that will cover all your dental expenses. Dental insurance companies have always set their own fee schedules and then reimbursed only a proportion of those fees as benefits, regardless of the true costs of treatment. The truth is that most insurance companies are still using annual limits on dental benefits that were established at least 20 years ago with no adjustment for the increased costs of dental care over the years. We are happy to file claims with any dental insurance company, but our treatment recommendations and level of service are the same with or without dental insurance.
