We shall try to advise you as to the expected number of appointments necessary, the time needed for each appointment, what you may expect from the treatment, and the fee. It is understood that endodontic treatment is a procedure to retain a tooth which may otherwise require extraction. Although this treatment has a very high degree of clinical success, it is still a biological procedure so it cannot be guaranteed. Occasionally a tooth which has had endodontic treatment may require retreatment, surgery, or even extraction.

When your treatment is completed, your tooth will need final restoration (filling, cap, or crown). Our fee does not include this service. Your referring dentist will render this service which is equally important for the preservation of your tooth. The restoration should be placed shortly after treatment is complete.

PAYMENT: It is expected that payment for all treatment be made in full upon completion of treatment.

DENTAL INSURANCE: As a convenience to you, our office will fill out the necessary forms and submit them to your insurance company. However, we consider each patient responsible for their entire account. As most insurance companies provide coverage from 50% to 80%, we would appreciate a minimum of 30% of the fee prior to the completion of your treatment. If your insurance payment is more or less, your account will be adjusted accordingly. All accounts that are more than 60 days overdue will be assessed a finance charge of 15% A.P.R.

If you have any questions regarding your treatment or fees, we will be happy to discuss them with you. Should you have any concerns between visits or after completion of your treatment, please do not hesitate to call.
