Can Periodontics and Implant Dentistry help me understand if my insurance will cover the cost of my dental care?
Many patients have dental insurance, so a common question we hear at Periodontics and Implant Dentistry of Tallahassee is, how can I maximize the insurance benefit that I have available and how can I best understand what my dental insurance will and will not cover in regards to certain treatments? We have full-time insurance coordinators that work with you to make sure that we have a full understanding of costs as best we can prior to entering into any individual treatments.
If my insurance will not cover the full cost of my dental care, are financing options available?
For many patients, there are certain procedures that are medically needed that are not covered by dental insurance for one reason or another. We want to make sure that those patients still get the care that they need. For that reason, we work with five different third-party companies to make sure that patients will have every opportunity available to finance any larger treatment over a period of time so they can get the care that they need and on a budget that's comfortable for them.
Does Periodontics and Implant Dentistry of Tallahassee offer a discount for paying in cash up front?
We don't, right? I don't think so. I would actually leave that one off because I don't think we should because our fees are not high.

Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Overall, dental insurance is primarily focused on avoiding problems through preventive care, such as with two dental checkups and cleanings per year. Because many of our patients come to us because they need specialized periodontal or implant treatment, chances are high that your dental insurance plan will only partially cover the cost of your necessary procedure. But you can bet that our team will do everything we can to save you as much as possible.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
Dental insurance plans can vary from patient to patient, making a generalized estimate of insurance coverage close to impossible. However, most dental insurance companies will provide partial coverage for services that are necessary for your health. Keep in mind that cosmetic procedures are not typically covered by dental insurance. You can learn more about your specific benefits by talking with our experienced team members.
