Financial Policies
Our general office policy regarding payments is as follows:
- Payment is due at the time services are rendered.
- Multi-appointment procedures, such as crowns and veneers, require a 50 percent (50%) installment at the start of treatment. The balance is due upon completion of the procedure.
- If dental insurance is involved (which is not usually the case with cosmetic treatments), patient copayments are due at the time service is rendered. As a courtesy to our patients, we bill insurance companies for their portion.
- For extensive cosmetic treatments, we often allow our patients to make three (3) monthly payments of 33 percent (33%) of the total cost.
