Out-of-Network? What this means for you:

With many plans, it has become increasingly difficult to practice as in-network providers and continue to provide the high quality of care that we value and promise to our patients. So, rather than lower the high standards that we have maintained since we have opened, we have chosen to go out of network with a few of the deeply discounted plans.

  • We will continue to file your insurance claims and accept payments directly from carriers. In most cases your coverages are at the same percentages as in-network.
  • You can DEFINITELY continue to receive your dental care at our office!  
  • If you have any questions, we would love the opportunity to review your plan with you and make sure that you fully understand how this might or might not impact you.  We are also available to discuss your specific treatment plan, if you are still in the middle of completing your outstanding treatment.
  •  We appreciate your loyalty, and hope that this has only a positive impact on your dental care.
