Paying for Your Care

Your treatment may or may not be covered under your medical insurance.

Temporomandibular dysfunction and orofacial pain are considered medical conditions, and related claims are typically filed with medical insurance. Many insurance companies do not cover non-surgical TMJ treatments or orthotic appliances.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a medical condition that can be treated with a dental sleep appliance. Coverage for this is subject to your medical insurance policy and deductible.

Before your appointment, we recommend contacting your medical insurance provider to verify your coverage. To assist you, we’ve created a document with key questions that may help guide your conversation with them. Please fill it out and bring it with you to your appointment.

Insurance Verification Form

Additionally, we offer a 10% discount for payment in full at the time of treatment. These savings are limited to patients not utilizing an insurance program. We accept cash, check and major credit cards.
