A Few Words on Dental Insurance

At Stiles Dentistry, we receive questions about dental insurance all of the time, so we wanted to share a few points about how insurance works in our office. Depending on the insurance provider you or your company utilizes, dental insurance commonly includes a network of preferred providers to choose from to handle your dental work. You might notice that your insurance does not always list the doctor you wish to go to as one of their preferred providers.

It's important to know that just because we may not be listed on in your insurance plan's network, it does not mean that you cannot come to us for your dental needs. We work with the insurance companies to send out your claim electronically on the day of your visit, and typically our patients are reimbursed by their insurance provider directly within several days, at at level according to their individual plan.

We believe that you should have the freedom to choose which dental office or specialist to see, regardless of the list of options your insurance provider offers. Stiles Dentistry is a low volume, patient-centered practice. Both Drs. Dennis & Marie Stiles, along with the entire team, work to build lifelong relationships with our patients. The ability to choose who to trust for your dental care is important, and you should not have to feel hindered by the limitations of your insurance provider. If you have specific concerns about your coverage, we would be happy to see you for a free initial consultation to answer your questions.
