How do I find out the cost of a dental procedure at Point Meadows Dentistry?

 

The cost of a dental procedure at Point Meadows Dentistry depends on several factors, including the type of treatment, the complexity of the procedure, and your individual needs. During your consultation and exam, Dr. Sarah Danser or Dr. Hanna Mularkey will evaluate your oral health and discuss any recommended treatments with you. Afterward, we’ll provide a detailed treatment plan that includes a cost estimate for each procedure.

​

We’re committed to cost transparency and understand that navigating dental costs can sometimes feel overwhelming. Dental insurance fee schedules vary by plan, meaning your insurance provider may set limits on the fees they’ll cover for specific procedures. If your insurance provider has an in-network agreement with Point Meadows Dentistry, you may see reduced out-of-pocket costs, as we have agreed upon discounted rates for certain procedures. However, if you’re out-of-network, there may be some differences in coverage.

​

Our experienced team will take the time to help you understand how your specific insurance plan applies to each recommended treatment. We’ll clarify details such as co-pays, deductibles, and any remaining costs after insurance. If you’re uninsured or need additional support, we offer flexible payment options and financing through trusted providers, like CareCredit and LendingClub, so you can proceed with treatment at a comfortable pace.

Accepted Dental Insurance

At Point Meadows Dentistry, we believe that financial concerns should never prevent you from receiving the oral healthcare you need. Delaying treatment can lead to more severe, painful, and costly issues down the road, which is why we work to make our services as accessible as possible. We are in-network with most major dental insurance plans, and our dedicated team is here to help you maximize your benefits to make care more affordable.

​

If you don’t see your insurance provider listed but have a PPO plan, we can still apply your benefits as an out-of-network provider to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. In addition to insurance, we accept personal checks, cash, and major credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover), so you have options to fit your needs.

Understanding Your Insurance Coverage

At Point Meadows Dentistry, we aim to make using your dental insurance as seamless as possible. Our team is experienced in working with a wide range of major insurance providers and is happy to help you understand your plan’s coverage and benefits. Here’s how we support you in navigating your insurance:

  • Insurance Verification: Before your treatment begins, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, letting you know what’s covered and what your expected out-of-pocket costs might be. We’ll explain any co-pays, deductibles, or annual maximums that may apply to your treatment, so there are no surprises.

  • Pre-Treatment Estimates: For complex or higher-cost treatments, such as restorative or cosmetic procedures, we can submit a pre-authorization request to your insurance provider. This helps us give you a clear estimate of what your insurance will cover versus what you may be responsible for.

  • Filing Claims: To keep things simple for you, our office manages all the paperwork and submits claims to your insurance company on your behalf. We work diligently to help you receive the maximum benefits allowed under your plan.

 

Maximizing Your Insurance Benefits

 

Timing your dental care strategically can help you get the most out of your insurance. Many insurance plans come with annual maximums, covering a set amount within a calendar year. By planning treatments in advance, we can help you maximize these benefits before they reset at year’s end. Additionally, if your treatment plan involves multiple procedures, we’ll work with you to schedule them in a way that best optimizes your insurance coverage.

​

​Our team at Point Meadows Dentistry is here to ensure that you understand and utilize your insurance benefits effectively, making quality dental care accessible and stress-free. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

These financing options allow you to spread out the cost of treatment over manageable monthly payments.

​

  • Customizable Plan Lengths: Choose a term that best fits your budget. Plans are available in various lengths, making it easier to find a structure that works for you.

  • Low or No Interest: Many of our financing options come with very low or even no interest, so you can focus on achieving your ideal smile without added financial stress.

 

With these plans, our patients can finally move forward with treatment at a comfortable pace, paying small monthly installments to achieve the healthy, confident smile they deserve.
