Insurance & Financial Options
At Astra Orthodontics, we understand that the cost of even the most basic dental care may be prohibitive for some of our patients. However, we believe that no patient should have to forgo dental treatment because cost is a concern. We offer convenient interest free financing and payment options so that even the most comprehensive orthodontic treatment is within the reach of each of our patients. We also make it a point to fully inform patients of the cost of treatment before we begin treatment, so patients will never suffer “sticker shock” when they receive their bill. If you are in treatment with us and your insurance changes, you MUST inform us of the change so that we can discuss with you any affects it will have on your account.
At the time of scheduling your initial appointment with us, we will ask for your insurance information to verify your benefit for you. We provide you with the quotes your Insurance company gives us but cannot guarantee the payments. Insurance benefits for orthodontia is typically a per life time benefit. Your orthodontia benefit is per person per life time and is NOT renewable every year as in your general dental benefits.
Understanding your specific insurance plan can be complex, but our dedicated team at Astra Orthodontics is here to assist you every step of the way. We’ll help you maximize your benefits, clarify any questions about your coverage, and even submit claims on your behalf. Our goal is to ensure that financial considerations never prevent you from achieving the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve. Please don’t hesitate to contact our office directly if you have any questions about your insurance or our payment options. We’re here to help make your orthodontic journey smooth and stress-free.
