What it costs. Before we start.

Insurance & Payment

Nevada Medicaid is accepted here, and we bill most PPO plans for you. Before any work begins, you'll see your treatment plan and an estimate of what you'll owe.

Insurance We Work With

We file with most major PPO plans, and we take Nevada Medicaid too.

What we handle with your insurance

Here's what happens with your coverage, step by step.

We check your benefits

We look up your coverage before you come in and let you know what to expect, so you're not left guessing once you're in the chair.

A plan you can understand

You leave your exam with a treatment plan and a cost estimate showing your share. If there's more than one way to go, we go over them with you one at a time.

We file your claims

We handle the claims from our office, which saves you the phone calls with your insurer.

Understanding Your Coverage

Every plan is different, but here are some general rules of thumb for typical dental insurance.

Typical Percentages

Many plans work on a <strong>100-80-50</strong> split: preventive care is paid in full, basic work such as fillings at 80%, and major work such as crowns at half.

What Insurance Usually Pays For

Most plans help pay for the basics: checkups and cleanings, X-rays, and fillings, plus root canals, crowns, bridges and extractions.

What's Often Not Covered

Plans seldom pay for cosmetic care such as whitening or veneers. Adult orthodontics, aligners included, is another common exclusion, depending on the plan.

Waiting Periods

Big restorative work, like crowns or bridges, can come with a waiting period on some plans, often 6 to 12 months. Checkups and cleanings, on the other hand, are usually covered as soon as the plan starts.

Nevada Medicaid Accepted Here

We take Nevada Medicaid. Before you come in, we look up your benefits, so you'll know ahead of time what Medicaid pays for and what it doesn't.
