Does insurance cover an initial dental exam and consultation?
Most dental insurance plans offer coverage for an initial dental exam and consultation. Preventive services, such as exams, cleanings, and X-rays, are often fully or partially covered, depending on the specific insurance plan. However, it’s always a good idea for patients to review their insurance benefits and contact their provider to confirm coverage details. Some plans may have specific limits or conditions, so understanding your family’s coverage in advance helps avoid unexpected costs.
What should I do if I have insurance-related questions?
Generally, we recommend that patients get in touch with their insurance provider first to get more information about their specific dental plan. Our friendly front office team is also happy to answer any insurance-related questions we can, and we strive to maximize our patient’s dental benefits to minimize what they have to pay out-of-pocket. Insurance can be tricky, but our Columbia dental team is here to help make things as streamlined as possible!
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Yes, we offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies. If you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling, or a dental injury, our team will prioritize getting you the care you need as soon as possible. For non-emergency cases, availability may depend on our schedule, but we strive to accommodate urgent situations promptly.
