Patient information
Insurance
Most insurance plans are accepted. Because endodontic coverage varies so much between policies, the practical step is always the same: bring your card, and let us check your specific plan before treatment rather than guessing.

Understanding endodontic coverage
Dental insurance rarely works the way medical insurance does. Most plans carry an annual maximum, and specialist procedures are often reimbursed at a different percentage from routine care. Two patients with the same treatment and different policies can face very different out-of-pocket amounts.
That is why an estimate given before your plan has been checked is worth very little. Bring your card to the consultation and the practice will help you understand what your policy covers, what it does not, and what that means for the treatment being proposed.
If you have unusual circumstances, a plan you are unsure about, or questions about an existing account, call and speak to the staff directly. It is a short conversation and it prevents most billing surprises.
Making it straightforward
Before your appointment
- Bring your insurance card and a photo ID.
- Know whether your plan has an annual maximum, and how much of it has been used this year.
- Ask us to check your coverage before treatment is scheduled, not after.
- Tell us if you have secondary coverage through a spouse or a second policy.
- Ask about payment options if there is a gap between coverage and cost — see the financing page.
Common questions
Insurance FAQs
Do you accept my insurance?
Most insurance plans are accepted. Rather than assuming your plan is not covered, call the practice with your card to hand and we will check it for you.
Will my insurance cover the whole cost of a root canal?
That depends entirely on your policy. Many plans reimburse specialist procedures at a different rate from routine dental care, and most carry an annual maximum. Having your coverage checked before treatment is the only reliable way to know your share.
What if I do not have dental insurance?
Treatment is available to patients without insurance, and payment options including CareCredit are offered so that cost can be spread over time. Ask the staff about the options that apply to your treatment.
Can you tell me the cost before I come in?
A meaningful figure requires knowing which tooth is involved, what is wrong with it and what your plan covers — which is what the consultation establishes. You will be given the cost before treatment is carried out, not afterwards.
