Practice Policies

Dental Insurance is different from Medical Insurance. Many patients are not familiar with the specifics of their dental insurance benefits. Your dental benefits are based on the agreement your employer negotiated with your dental insurance provider.

Please review the insurance benefit booklet provided by your employer to better understand the benefits they make available as part of your dental insurance coverage. The patient payment portion covered for procedures varies depending on the coverage provided by your employer.

An estimate of the amount covered by your insurance company will be provided at the time of your prosthodontic treatment, based on the information they provide to us. The estimate is never a guarantee of benefits or the amount that will be paid.

At West Ajax Dental, we file all insurance claims electronically, whenever possible, as a courtesy to our patients. This does not however, transfer the responsibility of your financial obligation to the insurance company.

If the amount paid by the insurance company is less than or greater than the estimate, then you will be billed the difference or issued a credit on the account in the event of an overpayment.

Please let us know if you have questions about our financial policies or financing options prior to your prosthodontic treatment.
