We recommend that preschool children are seen in the morning because they are more relaxed, we are able to work more slowly with them and make them more comfortable. School age children with extensive treatment needs are seen in the morning for the same reason. Excused absence forms explaining that dental treatment is medically necessary will be provided. We can keep missing school to a minimum when regular dental care is continued.
We file all insurance electronically, so your insurance company will receive each claim within days of the treatment. You are responsible for any balance on your account after 30 days, whether insurance has paid or not. We will be glad to provide a credit or send you a refund if insurance overpays.
Please understand that we file insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. We are not responsible for how your insurance company handles its claims or for what benefits they pay on a claim. We can only assist you in estimating your portion of the cost of treatment. We at no time guarantee how your insurance will process each claim. We also can not be responsible for any errors in filing your claim. Once again, we file claims as a courtesy and will be happy to assist you through this process.
Dental insurance is meant to be an aid in receiving dental care. Many patients think that their insurance pays 90%-100% of all dental fees. This is not true! Most plans only pay between 50%-80% of the average total fee. Some pay more, some pay less. The percentage paid is usually determined by how much you or your employer has paid for coverage, or the type of contract your employer has set up with the insurance company.
You may have noticed that sometimes your dental insurer reimburses you or the dentist at a lower rate than the dentist's actual fee. Frequently, insurance companies state that the reimbursement was reduced because your dentist's fee has exceeded the usual, customary, or allowable fee (UCR) used by the company.
A statement such as this gives the impression that any fee greater than the amount paid by the insurance company is unreasonable, or well above what most dentists in the area charge for a certain service. This can be very misleading and simply is not accurate.
Insurance companies set their own schedules, and each company uses a different set of fees they consider allowable. These allowable fees may vary widely, because each company collects fee information from claims it processes. The insurance company then takes this data and then chooses a level they call the 'allowable UCR fee. Frequently, this data can be many years out of date as these allowable fees are set by the insurance company.
Unfortunately, insurance companies imply that your dentist is 'overcharging', rather than say that they are 'underpaying', or that their benefits are low. In general, the less expensive insurance policy will use a lower UCR figure.

Where do we begin! We wish we could give 6 + Stars! First off regarding our experience, the initial phone calls were so helpful and informative, they got us in for an exam the next day. When we arrived with our 5 year old son, the assistants and staff were immediately making him laugh and smile with jokes. Their office is incredibly clean and futuristic. You can tell Dr. Moheban takes extra care to ensure the office space is upgraded and cutting edge, it can't be cheap for them to make such a nice office, but they do and it shows. We went there knowing our son had cavities, after a horrendous experience at the previous pediatric dentist in Auburn, Dr. Moheban met with us and assured us he would give our son the care he deserved. We were able to ask a lot of questions and after looking at our son's mouth Dr. Moheban expressed confidence in our son's ability to get his cavities fixed without General Anesthesia. Hearing this was amazing, the last dentist had no such confidence and was horrible when discussing a treatment plan. Dr. Moheban's office and staff wrote up an extremely thoughtful treatment plan with prices for us as we move forward and got us in the next day for a cavity filling. Our son arrived the following day and was greeted once again with kind faces, voices, and reassured throughout the process. They communicated with our son and treated him wonderfully. Our son got his cavity filled without issue and it was such a breathe of fresh air compared to our experience at the Auburn Dentist that my wife and I cried. We were so proud of him and so happy to see him treated well. If you're looking for Children Dentistry, stop looking and take your kids here. We're so thankful for all of the staff and we look forward to our dental journey with our two little ones for the forseeable future with Dr. Moheban.

My son is terrified of the dentist. We went to a different pediatric dentist before and they seemed to make his anxiety worse. We have been to Dr. Dan and his team a few times now, and each time we go my son gets better and better. He's still anxious, but each person there is always so kind and patient with him. They take their time to talk to him calmly and ask what is worrying him. They always explain what they are doing, and they clearly care about the kids. I am so grateful to have found them.

I went in with a concern about my daughter's tooth coming in crooked and found out she had both a tied lip and tied tongue. The procedure to release both was done the next day after extensive conversation and explanation with the Dentist, Dr. Dan and his team. They made sure my insurance would cover it first and told me the out of pocket costs before the procedure. There were two follow up visits and the staff was always available for my calls and questions.

Update: Wanted to update because the office reached out to me via phone personally apologizing for the whole situation. Stating that it should never have happened and that they have been through several trainings since then to make sure their patients are treated fairly and they refunded me the $50 that I had paid. Even though I was treated that way at first, they reached out to apologize so I appreciate that. *** I have never been so poorly treated by a dentist/health office. I needed to cancel an appointment for my younger daughter because I just had a baby and when I called they said they needed to call a manager and she threatened to remove my daughter from their practice and charged me $50. A few weeks later I get a letter saying I had a past due balance of more than 90 DAYS!!! & if I didn't pay within 30 days they would charge us $25 on top plus attorney and collection fees. It had only been a few weeks and I was going to pay. Looks like all they want is the money- I would not trust my child with them ever again! So disappointed. No respect for your patients whatsoever. Its too bad because it's a nice looking place and the dr was nice- but seems like they only want the money.

Immaculate dentist! Safety is definitely a priority for them, big plus. Staff are super friendly! Mrs. Lisette made the impossible possible by squeezing both my children in last minute and at the same time!! Dr.Moheban is wonderful! If my 5 year old went into the room and came out smiling from ear to ear then they are doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! Great teamwork y'all! Thank you!

I would not recommend using this practice. My son has had a cavity for several months and they cancelled his appointment several times. This is understandable given the current COVID situation. However, they have a "policy" that requires an appointment for an exam even though they have already confirmed the presence of a cavity, if several months have lapsed between appointments. In order for them to fill the cavity, I have to first schedule an appointment for an exam, then wait another 3-6 months before they can fill the cavity. I reluctantly agreed to this once, and they once again cancelled my appointment forcing me to succumb to their strict policy once again. I would highly suggests finding a dental practice that places their patients well being over office policy.

CHILDREN'S DENTAL SPECIALTIES!! This place is the best kid's dental office in Worcester and you can believe us, as we've been to a few of the competitors... and there's really no competition. Benefit of location on Plantation St. vs Park Ave/Downtown greatly reduces traffic. Covid has totally changed the dental landscape as they are a now a high-risk biz and somehow despite that and all the safety requirements they must meet, CDS remains welcoming... something that unfortunately cannot be said about some offices. This place is high tech, equipped with the latest dental tools, is completely spotless and best of all every single staff member we've come across is kind and connects with the kids- which is severely lacking at other Worcester dental offices and can make a huge difference for the experience ESPECIALLY with young children. The paperwork is online, I've yet to pick up a pen in the office. The desk staff is fast and super proactive and will text you reminders and info and are always friendly and professional; they are so prompt it's kind of amazing actually even when they are busy. Dr. Dan himself is just simply brilliant and knows his stuff- he found some subtle differences in my middle son's mouth and immediately referred us to a specialist to help. No one else noticed these things and it makes so much sense. The best part is he is communicative and receptive to all questions. What started out as an appointment for a brief second opinion has turned into our new office. This is the place to be!

Today was my daughters first visit at this location and let me tell you she absolutely walked out of the dentist office with a huge smile on her face. She absolutely enjoyed it and everyone starting from start to end was so nice. They were patient and playful with my 4 year old and everything just went so smooth. We were in and out in no time. Definitely recommend!
