Insurance We ask that you understand that we neither work for the insurance companies, nor do we wish to. We work 100% for you. We want to help you maximize your benefits, but also we do not want to be controlled by insurance companies nor the benefits packages they offer. Normally, in our office, you can count on your insurance company paying 25-30% of the total fee for services provided in a high quality private practice such as ours. We believe that a cooperative effort between you and our office will result in a dental service that we are proud to render and you are pleased to receive. We want to meet your needs in a way that adds significant value to your life and to ours as well. As a service to you, we will file your dental insurance for you. You have a maximum coverage per year of $1000 - $1500, with $1000 being the norm. However, keep in mind that dental insurance companies only pay what they want to. When dental co-payment plans began in 1970 they allowed the same amount of maximum payment per year as allowed today. In other words, reflecting a 6% per year inflation, your $1000 benefit per year is equal to $101 in today’s dollars. Had the various dental insurance companies increased their benefits on a year by year basis reflecting increases for inflation, this year your benefit would be $8636.09 per year!
