It's important to understand that before you can begin treatment in our clinics a treatment plan and a method of payment must be established. Our Patient Accounting staff members are available to arrange dental care financing and will assist you with determining your best method of payment. Since our fees are lower than those in the general community, even if you are on a pay-as-you-go basis, your money will go farther in our clinics.

Be certain that you understand your treatment plan in detail because it drives the cost of your treatment. Since not all insurance coverage is the same, your treatment costs may vary according to your type of coverage. We will make every effort to coordinate a treatment plan and a financial plan that best meets your financial situation while you also receive the dental care you need. As a teaching clinic, however, we must be certain that in meeting your desires we also meet the needs of preparing student dentists to provide comprehensive dental care services.
