FEES
Fees charged vary from dentist to dentist and from one area of the country to another. It is unwise to judge a dentist by the fees that are charged except when they are extremely low or when they are so high you can't afford them. If the fees are too low, then the focus is on cheap dentistry, not quality materials and workmanship. High quality materials, well-trained staff, and up-to-date equipment are costly. Our fees for each service are based upon the services rendered, the types of materials utilized and the time required for its accomplishment. We believe this is the only way to establish a fair fee both to the patient and to the dentist. You will find our fees are in keeping with the quality of service.

We are a "Fee-for-Service" dental office; which means that payment in full is due for treatment rendered - at the time of service. We accept cash, check or credit cards (MasterCard and Visa only).
Financing at 6 months No Interest is available through "Citi Health Card". Some restrictions apply. Minimum purchase and minimum payments required for qualified patients. Please contact our office at 619-231-1624 and then click on www.healthcard.citicards.com for more details.

INSURANCE
We are considered to be an "out of network provider"; which means we do not "belong to or affiliate" ourselves with any dental insurance company. As noted in the Fee Section of this page, all patients, whether they have insurance or not- pay (in full) when the service or treatment is rendered. As a courtesy to our patients with dental insurance, we will assist you in submitting a claim for your treatment.

As noted in the brochure, "Why Doesn't My Insurance Pay For This?", "Employers offer dental benefits to help employees pay for a portion of the cost of their dental care. Dental plans are designed to share in the cost of your dental care, not to completely pay for those costs. Almost all dental benefit plans are the result of a contract between the plan sponsor (employer) and the insurance company. The amount your plan pays is determined by the agreement negotiated by your employer with the insurer. Your dental coverage is determined NOT by your dental needs, but by how much your employer contributes to the plan".
