Financial Options

At Smile Solutions DMD, we believe quality dental care should feel accessible and manageable. We accept most dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options, including financing through Cherry, Alphaeon Credit, and Sunbit. Our team is happy to help you understand your options before treatment begins.

Dental Insurance & Financial Information

At our practice, we want to help you maximize your dental benefits. As a service to our patients, our team will handle the paperwork and file claims for most dental insurance programs.

To help you understand how your benefits work at our office, please review our standard insurance guidelines below:

Key Insurance Guidelines

  • Out-of-Network Provider: We are an independent practice and not part of any managed care networks. This allows us to provide care based purely on your needs.
  • Your Policy is Unique: Your insurance plan is a direct contract between you and your provider. Because coverage varies greatly from company to company, we recommend reviewing your specific policy details.
  • Patient Responsibility: You are ultimately responsible for the total cost of your treatment. If your insurance pays more than anticipated you will receive a refund check for that amount from our office. If your insurance pays less than expected or delays payment, any remaining balance belongs to you.
  • Standard Pricing:We charge our standard, usual, and customary fees to all patients regardless of insurance coverage. Some plans pay based on a “fixed fee schedule” which may not exactly match our standard office fees.
  • Plans We Do Not Accept: Please note that our office does not accept Medicaid or Humana Medicare.

Know Your Costs Before Treatment

We believe in transparency. If you are planning a major procedure, our accounting staff will gladly submit a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance company. This helps you know exactly what your benefits will cover before your appointment begins.
