Dental Insurance
We accept many various insurance plans. Karen, our insurance and financial assistant, helps to ensure that insurance claims are made in a timely manner. Good dental health is not gained or lost by having dental insurance.

Please understand that dental insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company, not with the Dental Care Family. The patient is the responsible party regardless of coverage or the lack thereof. Be sure to check your coverage and understand the provisions of your policy. Your portion, for the uncovered amount, is due at the time the treatment is provided.

We contract with several insurance providers. Please call our office and we will help you maximize your insurance benefits.

We Accept Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and Citi Health Card
