Dental insurance is a complex area that
creates confusion for many dental patients. Dental insurance is a contract
between your employer and the insurance company. The benefits that
you will receive are based on the terms of the contract that were negotiated
between your employer and the dental insurance company and not your
dental office.

your dental insurance company. Our office will do everything possible
to help you understand and make the most of your dental insurance benefits.
