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.
