Contact our friendly and knowledgeable staff at (706) 738-8070 if you have questions about your treatment plan or payment options.
Dental Membership Plans
Our in-house dental membership plan offers an affordable alternative to traditional dental insurance. Designed for adults and children without dental coverage, our plan provides comprehensive preventive care and valuable discounts on other treatments for one simple annual fee.
Adult and child memberships include:
- Two professional cleanings per year
- Annual comprehensive exam
- Necessary x-rays
- Emergency exam if needed
- Additional savings on certain restorative dental procedures
What your membership doesn't have are yearly deductibles, waiting periods, claim forms, or annual maximums. It's simply quality dental care made affordable. Ask our team about enrollment options that fit your family's needs.
Dental Insurance
At West Augusta Dental Associates, we are very insurance-friendly and have a dedicated staff to help you get the most out of your dental insurance benefits. We accept and file most insurances on your behalf. We are considered an unrestricted provider, which means we are out of network with many dental insurance plans. The good news is that if your employer-selected plan allows for out-of-network coverage, you have the freedom to select the practice of your choice instead of having to find an in-network corporately owned practice or clinic that works on a high-volume, high-turnover business model. It also allows us to work with you to determine the best treatment options instead of having a third-party insurance company impose downgrades and make changes to the care we recommend based on profits for the insurance company. We will be happy to help you determine the nature of your plan and answer any insurance questions.
We believe in making dental care straightforward and transparent, including the financial aspects. Unlike medical insurance, dental insurance typically works as a cost-sharing program with annual maximums and varying levels of coverage. Most plans cover preventive care (like teeth cleanings and exams) at a higher percentage, while basic procedures (fillings) and major procedures (crowns, bridges) are covered at lower percentages.
We're happy to help you understand your dental insurance benefits. We will provide detailed documentation and submit it for reimbursement. Our team can also estimate your insurance coverage before treatment, helping you plan for out-of-pocket expenses. Remember that your maximum and coverage levels reset annually, so we can help you plan treatment timing to maximize your benefits.
