General Information

Fees

The fee for your endodontic treatment will be based on the extent of the treatment.

During your first visit, we will discuss the probable number of visits, their length, and the fees involved.  Consultation fees are approximately $365. This will include a consultation with the doctor, X-rays taken by our office. For any posterior tooth, this will include a CBCT X-ray.  This is a special X-ray that is a 3-dimensional image and allows the doctor to see every side, angle, and aspect of the tooth. This X-ray is a separate fee and is usually not covered by insurance. These X-rays will be shown to the patient, and a discussion as to what is seen on them. Vitality testing will be completed to determine the nerve status. Then, a treatment plan will be devised, and options will be given. Regardless of your insurance, the consultation fee will be collected on the day of the consultation, and your insurance will be billed. Once payment is received, you will be reimbursed for the amount covered.

Endodontic root canal fees are separate from the consultation fees. They usually range from $1025 to $1,600. Depending on the type of tooth and the procedure rendered for the tooth.

It is our policy that the care we provide is paid for in full before treatment is started.    

We are pleased to offer Care Credit to our patients. DFP is a convenient, no initial payment, low monthly payment plan for dental treatments of $1,000 to $25,000. Offering Care Credit allows us to help save your tooth more affordably.

Insurance

The only insurance we accept at this time is CareFirst PPO.

After careful evaluation and consideration, our practice has made the decision to transition to a non-insurance model.  Beginning immediately, we will no longer accept dental insurance.  

This decision was not made lightly and was reached after extensive review of the current insurance reimbursement structure. Since 2014, reimbursement rates have not increased, despite continuous communication and negotiation with insurance carriers. In light of these ongoing challenges and other contributing factors, we determined that this change is necessary to maintain the level of excellence and personalized care that our patients expect and deserve.

What does this mean for you as our patient?
Full payment will be required at the time services are rendered. As a courtesy, our office will continue to submit claims directly to your primary dental insurance provider so that any eligible reimbursements are sent to you. If you have a secondary dental insurance plan, we will provide the appropriate documentation for you to submit your claim. Patients with out-of-network benefits will receive reimbursement directly from their insurance company.

We remain committed to providing high-quality and accessible dental care. Our fees are among, if not the most competitive, in the area, helping to minimize overall costs for both insured and uninsured patients.
