Patient Appointments
Patients are seen by appointment and if time allows walk-ins are welcome. We make every effort to be on time for our patients, and we ask the same courtesy from your family. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately, giving a minimum of 48 hour notice to avoid any missed appointment fees. We realize that unexpected illnesses and emergencies may occur, but we ask for your assistance in this regard.
Our office strives to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available
Appointments & Consultations
We are happy to schedule a second-opinion consultation with our doctors to discuss treatment diagnosed for you. It is important to us that our patients are committed fully to a recommended course of treatment, and we make every effort to provide all available information on the types of treatment completed at our office, as well as options to make appointments comfortable.
Whether you are self-referred or referred by another dentist for a second opinion, we require that you undergo a complete examination by our doctors before providing a definitive diagnosis. Please ensure that all necessary x-rays and/or chart notes from your previous dentist have been transferred to us prior to your scheduled appointment, for review. Please note that many offices require 7-14 business days to transfer records.
It is imperative that we have all available dental (and medical if related to trauma or medically diagnosed disorder) insurance information in a timely manner, as we will be providing you with a comprehensive treatment estimate after your consultation with the doctor.
If you have questions about the consultation services we provide, please email us today or call at (973) 684-1078.
Insurance & Patient Co-payments
If you have insurance we will help you determine the coverage you have available. In order to best assist you, it is important that you submit your dental/medical insurance information to us prior to your scheduled appointment. NO New Patient Paperwork is needed prior to appointment. This allows us time to contact your insurance company and obtain a breakdown of the benefits your employer or you have purchased from the company. In addition, you will want to bring a dental benefit book that your carrier should be able to provide. Our business team will be happy to help you understand your policy.
Should you be diagnosed with treatment services, we will be able to provide you with a detailed plan which will give you an estimate of how much your insurance company may pay for each procedure, as well as the portion you will be expected to pay at the time of service.
Professional care is provided to you, our patient family, and not to an insurance company. The insurance company is responsible only to the patient as a benefit from the employer or individual plan purchase, and the patient is responsible to the doctor. We will assist you in every way we can in the filing of your dental or medical claim and handling of insurance questions from our office on your behalf.
Our office has established the financial policy as follows:
- Payment of any account balance is due in full within 20 days of statement date.
- We gladly accept Visa, Discover, or MasterCard payments.
- Payment plans are available through CareCredit and Springstone.
