This is the question we hear most often, and we take it seriously. Fee for service dentistry asks something real of our patients. We want to explain exactly why we made this choice — and why we believe it serves you better.
Insurance reimbursement is designed to pay for isolated procedures. We do not practice isolated procedures. We practice comprehensive, biologically integrated protocols — and those two things are fundamentally incompatible.
When insurance companies determine what gets covered, they are not making clinical decisions. They are making financial ones. Coverage structures reward the measurable, the codable, the separable: a filling here, a scaling there, an implant placed in isolation.
Our treatment approach does not work that way. When we treat a patient with advanced periodontal disease, we are not performing a list of discrete procedures. We are designing and delivering a coordinated biological recalibration — in which every element interacts with every other element, and the value lies precisely in that integration.
No coverage structure can capture that. No reimbursement model can price it fairly. And accepting those constraints would mean either delivering fragmented care, or pretending that what we do fits inside a box it was never designed to fit.
We chose honesty instead.
We are happy to provide documentation for reimbursement where possible. We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry. We are committed to making this level of care accessible to patients for whom it is the right fit.
