As always, my visit to the Vermillion Dental office was a positive experience. The staff at the front desk, Pattie the dental hygienist, and Drs. Richard and Jennifer, provide a unique blend of top-notch professional care in a warm, compassionate environment. The entire team has a sincere style that is welcoming, empathic, and patient focused.
If you recently had x-rays at your previous dentist please let us know. Any x-rays necessary to complete the diagnosis and treatment plan will be recommended by your dentist after a review of your past medical and dental history. The most common x-rays for an adult new patient is a full series of radiographs to evaluate for cavities, periodontal disease and other possible pathology. For a child, a bite-wing series is needed to evaluate for cavities and depending upon the childs age a panoramic x-ray may be recommended for evaluating growth and development and eruption of teeth.
If your visit to out office is for a second opinion on treatment, a referral from a physician or dental specialist, or just for a specific situation please bring along the necessary records or have them forwarded prior to your visit.
Every visit has been excellent The whole staff always make you feel comfortable welcome and cared about. Would recommend the office to anyone. I have been with this office for over 40 years, you guys are amazing
The cost of your treatment will depend on your individual needs and treatment plan. We will discuss the cost of your treatment and each of your available payment options with you before you begin, so you can make the best choice for yourself.
Our practice accepts personal checks, cash, most major credit cards and participates with CareCredit to help extend payment options for your care. Most importantly, care can usually be sequenced, spread out over a reasonable time and scheduled in a way that coincides and fits within a personal budget.
If you have a dental benefit plan or dental insurance it is intended to cover some, but not all of the cost of your dental care. Most plans include coinsurance provisions, a deductible, and certain other expenses which must be paid by the patient. We are seeing many dental plans beginning to have many non-covered services, missing tooth clauses, limitations on frequency of exams and cleanings and other limitations that make is somewhat confusing to the patient in understanding their exact benefits.
We may or may not be a participating dentist in your dental benefit network but we can file most insurance claims regardless of network participation. We have many patients who choose our office for their and their familys dental needs despite being considered out of network. Please bring your insurance plan information with you on your first visit. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits to which your are entitled.
