Esthetic and restorative dentistry are excellent investments in an individual's well-being. We firmly believe that financial considerations should not be an obstacle to obtaining the treatment you desire. We are sensitive to the fact that each patient has different needs and have several payment options available so that treatment is accessible to everyone. All financial discussions and arrangements are kept strictly confidential.


PAYMENT OPTIONS:

Payment is expected in full when service are rendered.
For your convenience we accept cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express as payment for your dental services.

A courtesy discount of 5% is given for payment in full at the start of treatment to patients that do not have dental insurance.

Minnesota Care Tax is added to all treatment per Minnesota State Law.

A 1.5 % monthly finance charge (18% annually) will be applied to all outstanding accounts beginning at 90 days.

Any unpaid account over 90 days old will be turned over to a collection agency.  You will be responsible for their fee.

Missed or cancelled appointments

Missed (failed) or cancelled appointments without at least 24 hours notice will result in a charge.

Dental Insurance:

We will assist you in every way to prepare all of your claims and help maximize your insurance benefit; however, your estimated portion is due at the time of service.  Since dental insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company, we will request payment directly from you for any claims your insurance company has not paid within 60 days.

Please remember that dental insurance is not designed to be a pay-all, but merely an assistance.
We recommend the best treatment options for your dental health.  Your insurance company may or may not benefit all procedures.  Our recommendations are based on your dental needs and not your insurance coverage.  We request that you understand your policy in advance so that together we can make the best treatment decisions.
