Philosophy

Our practice exists to provide excellence in orthodontic treatment is a friendly, caring environment. Each patient is thoroughly evaluated to determine the personalized treatment plan best suited to him or her. Patients are always given several treatment options to consider before a final course of treatment is initiated. Interceptive, or early, orthodontic treatment plans are recommended when appropriate. We coordinate treatment with your general dentist and maintain close communication with your dentist throughout treatment.

Insurance

We will be happy to assist you with your insurance coverage. We want you to be able to obtain all the benefits due to you under your plan. Orthodontic insurance does not function the same as your general dental insurance. If your insurance plan includes orthodontic coverage, there is a lifetime maximum that does not renew yearly like your general dental insurance maximum does. Your insurance provider does not make a lump sum payment of your benefit. Instead periodic payments are made with a down payment followed by monthly installments until your lifetime maximum is met. If you change jobs or coverage before your total benefit is paid out, any benefits are lost.
If you have any questions regarding your insurance coverage, please bring a copy of your insurance policy's coverage booklet with you. We will call your provider to verify eligibility. We will also file the required forms for you.
You may also use Care Credit Plan which provides convenient payment options for orthodontic patients. Click the logo below to find out more.
