Insurance coverage
Exams, cleanings, X-rays · typical PPO coverage: preventive 100%, basic 80%, major 50%
Emergency exams and X-rays are diagnostic care, which most PPO plans cover at 100% (up to your plan's limits). Any treatment that follows is covered at its own level: 80% for basic treatment such as root canals and fillings, 50% for major treatment such as crowns.
Check your plan's coverage0% financing. We offer 0% financing for 12 months on treatment over $1,000, subject to credit approval. This treatment is under $1,000 on its own, but it qualifies when your overall treatment plan comes to more than $1,000. Longer plans of 24–60 months are available at fixed rates from 7.9% APR. The application takes about 2 minutes and uses a soft credit check that won't affect your credit score.
Membership plans. Essential and Family members get one emergency exam a year included; Plus members get unlimited emergency exams. Members also save 15–20% on any treatment that follows.
How insurance billing works. We check your benefits before your visit and give you a written estimate before any treatment. You pay your estimated portion at the visit and we file the claim with your insurer. If your plan pays more or less than estimated, we refund or bill the difference within 30 days. We're in-network with 10 PPO plans (BlueHarbor Dental PPO, Summit Dental PPO, Meridian Care PPO, Northstar Smile PPO, Clearwater Dental PPO, Keystone Benefits PPO, Pacific Crest Dental PPO, Lone Oak Employers PPO, Unity Mutual Dental PPO and Evergreen Dental Select PPO) and accept most other PPO plans out-of-network. We don't accept HMO / DHMO dental plans and Medicaid and CHIP dental plans.
How we keep it precise and calm
-
Digital X-rays
Up to 80% less radiation than traditional film, with images on screen in seconds.
-
3D CBCT scans
Detailed 3D views of bone, nerves and roots for precise implant and root canal planning.
Sedation options. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas, $75) takes the edge off and wears off within minutes, so you can drive yourself home. Oral sedation ($250) is a prescribed tablet for longer visits or significant anxiety; you'll need someone to drive you home. We don't offer IV sedation in-house, but can refer you if needed. Our free comfort menu includes noise-cancelling headphones, ceiling screens, weighted blankets, warm neck pillows and lip balm.

Real patients, real stories
Cracked a molar on a Saturday morning, called at 9:30 and was out of pain by lunchtime. They told me the price before starting, and it was exactly what I paid.
