Fees & Transparency
-Wayne Chirisa"A genuine smile comes from the heart, but a healthy smile needs good dental care."
Our Approach to Fees & Financial Transparency
We believe great dental care should feel clear, respectful, and straightforward.
Our fees are set thoughtfully and consistently, based on the time, skill, materials, and attention involved in doing things the right way. For that reason, we don't discount — beyond our membership benefits — or negotiate treatment fees — we believe financial fairness comes from treating every patient the same.
This allows us to stay focused on what matters most: providing dependable, high-quality care without pressure or surprises.
What you can expect
- Clear, upfront estimates
- No hidden costs or last-minute changes
- No sales tactics or rushed decisions
- The same approach for every patient
Although every guest has different needs, our fees remain consistent — transparent, fair, and clearly outlined from the start.
A note about dental insurance
We work with your PPO insurance as an out-of-network provider, and many plans still contribute toward care. Because benefits vary widely, we recommend reviewing your specific coverage with your insurance provider.
Our treatment recommendations are based on:
- What's clinically appropriate
- Long-term health and stability
- Materials and techniques we trust
— not on insurance limitations.
We're always happy to help you understand and use your benefits, but our fees remain the same regardless of coverage.
If cost is a concern
We understand that dental care is an investment, and we're here to help you move forward in a way that feels manageable.
That may include:
- Phasing treatment over time
- Prioritizing the most important care first
- Monthly payment options
- Scheduling flexibility
Please let us know — our team is always happy to talk through options with you.
Our promise to you
You'll never be pressured into treatment or judged for your decisions.
Our goal is to provide care that's honest, comfortable, and built on long-term trust.

Private Dental Insurance
We honor all forms of PPO dental insurance and as a courtesy to you, we will submit a claim to your dental insurance company following treatment. Please provide us with your dental insurance card and any additional information we may need during your first visit. We recommend that you call your insurance company to verify your dental coverage.
*Full payment of services rendered is due at the time of treatment. Insurance reimbursements will be sent directly to the insurance subscriber via your insurance company.
