Practice Policies

At Enhance Dentist, our goal is to provide exceptional care in a supportive, transparent and patient-centered environment. These practice policies are designed to help you understand what to expect, how to prepare and how we work together to make every visit smooth and stress-free.

If you ever have questions, our team is always here to help.

Financial Policies

Clear pricing, flexible options and full transparency so you always know what to expect.

Payment Due at Time of Service

To continue providing high-quality care at reasonable costs, payment is due at the time treatment is provided unless prior arrangements have been approved.

Monthly Statements

If you use a financing arrangement, you may receive monthly statements. These reflect any remaining balance after insurance payments.

Payment Methods Accepted

We offer several convenient ways to pay for your care. We accept cash, personal checks and all major credit cards to make each visit simple and stress-free. For larger treatments, financing options may be available upon request.

Insurance Policies

We work hard to provide exceptional care while helping you get the most value from your insurance benefits.

Coverage Estimates

We always work to give you the most accurate estimate possible, based on the information shared with us by your insurance provider. However, every insurance plan processes claims differently, which means all estimates should be viewed as helpful guidance, not a guarantee of coverage. Final decisions are made solely by your insurance company.

Even though we make every effort to safely overestimate your portion, your final bill may differ from the original quote. If your insurance pays less than expected, any remaining balance becomes your responsibility.

Our goal is to make the financial side of your dental care simple, clear and stress-free. From the moment you check in to the moment your claim is finalized, our team supports you every step of the way.

How We Support You

    • We file all insurance claims on your behalf
    • We help you maximize reimbursement for all covered services
    • We follow up with carriers to keep your claims moving
    • We explain any remaining balance with full transparency and no surprises
    • We advocate for you whenever possible, keeping your best interests in mind
    • We provide clear, upfront estimates so you can plan confidently

Most insurance companies process claims within 4–6 weeks. If you do not see a payment posted within that window, please contact our office so we can help you follow up.

Accepted Insurances

To ensure you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information, please contact our office directly regarding the insurance plans we accept. Our team will review your benefits, answer your questions and help you understand your coverage before treatment begins.

Please note: Enhance Dentist does not accept Medicare at this time.

Insurance Network Policy

Your dental insurance is a contract between you or your employer and the insurance company. Coverage and payment amounts are determined by that contract, not by our office. We’re always happy to help you understand your benefits and make the most of your plan.

In-Network vs. Out-of-Network

    • If we are in-network: You are responsible only for your portion of the approved fees, such as deductibles, co-pays or co-insurance. These amounts are due at the time of service.
    • If we are out-of-network: It is your responsibility to confirm whether your plan reimburses out-of-network providers. If your plan allows it, we can file the claim for you and receive reimbursement directly when you assign benefits to us. You are responsible for any remaining balance after your insurance pays. If you choose not to assign benefits, full payment is due at the time of service and you will be responsible for filing your claim independently.

Scheduling Policies

Scheduling rules that keep your visits smooth, on time and stress-free.

Respecting Your Time and Our Team

Our schedule is thoughtfully structured to ensure every patient receives focused, unrushed care. We work hard to stay on time and appreciate your partnership in helping appointments run smoothly.

Arriving On Time

Please plan to arrive promptly so we can begin your visit as scheduled. If you’re running late, call us right away so we can adjust your appointment and minimize delays for you and other patients.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

If you need to change an appointment, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice. This helps us offer the time to another patient and keep our schedule efficient for everyone.

Missed Appointments

Multiple no-shows or last-minute cancellations may require a reservation fee before future appointments can be booked. This helps us provide fair access to all patients.

Emergency Visits

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly. If you are in pain or need urgent care, we will make every effort to see you the same day and provide prompt relief.

Patient Courtesy Policies

Communication and Transparency

We encourage open communication. If you have medical conditions, medications or concerns that we should be aware of, please inform us right away. Your comfort and safety always come first.

Parents and Guardians

If treatment allows, parents and guardians may stay with their child during the visit. Our team will guide you through the process so your child feels calm, safe and supported.
