I am incredibly fortunate to work with an absolutely amazing team of young ladies who are dedicated to doing their very best every single day. I absolutely love these ladies! I am proud to introduce the team that makes Children's Dentistry of Beaumont THE best pediatric dental office around

At CDB, we are proud that our Registered Dental Assistants are also licensed by the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners to place protective dental sealants, monitor patients receiving nitrous oxide and perform coronal polishing (part of the 'cleaning'). Not all RDAs can boast these certifications, so know that your loved one(s) are in the hands of experienced, licensed, caring experts

Antoniais a Registered Dental Assistant who is relatively new to our team, but definitely not to working with children. Antonia has a quiet way of helping children of all ages feel welcome and comfortable in our office. As the Lead Dental Assistant, Antonia is also credited with ensuring the highest level of cleanliness (very frequently above and beyond what is 'required'), infection control, equipment maintenance, as well as keeping the rest of us (doctor, hygienist(s) and assistants) coordinated and moving smoothly throughout the day. In addition to her dental assistant certification, Antonia is also certified by the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners to perform coronal polishing and to place protective dental sealants. (And although there really isn 't a certification for it, Antonia must be recognized for being able to fix just about anything!!!!)

Jackieis a Registered Dental Assistant who also is new to our team but not to pediatric dentistry.... We know her previous position misses her but we're grateful she decided to join pediatric dentistry full time! Jackie's sweet smile and attention to detail make her a perfect fit for our clinical team and she has fit seamlessly from her first day.She is extra talented at being able to takex-rays on even the most hesitant children.She embraces the CDB philosophy: treat every child as our own. We know that you and your child will see her sparkling, friendly eyes and immediately feel more at ease and her soothing voice will seal the deal on any anxiety your child may have thought they had!

Payment for professional services is due at the time dental treatment is provided. Dr. McQuade will provide a treatment plan to you and make every effort to fit your timetable and budget, and gives your child the best possible care. We accept cash, personal checks, debit cards and most major credit cards. And alsoCareCredit.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND that we file dental insurance as a courtesy to our patients. We do not have a contract with your insurance company, only you and your employer do. 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 what your insurance will or will not do with each claim or how much they will pay. We also can not be responsible for any errors in filing your insurance. Once again, we do our best to be as accurate as possible and we will file claims as a courtesy to you.

Fact 1 NO INSURANCE PAYS 100% OF ALL PROCEDURESDental insurance is meant to be an aid in receiving dental care. 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. We will do our best to help determine what your benefits are and how much it will help pay toward your child's treatment.

Fact 2 BENEFITS ARE NOT DETERMINED BY OUR OFFICEYou may have noticed that sometimes your dental insurer reimburses you or the dentist at a lower rate than the dentists actual fee. Frequently, insurance companies state that the reimbursement was reduced because your dentists fee has exceeded the usual, customary, or reasonable 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 fee schedules, and each company uses a different set of fees they consider allowable. These allowable fees may vary widely. Fees are set by the insurance company so they can make a net 20%-30% profit and how much the employer chooses to pay for the plan.

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 usual, customary, or reasonable (UCR) figure.

Your child's preventative treatment and restorative treatment are recommended based on what your child's needs are. Not what insurance will or will not cover. Factors such as age, diet, home care are things that are considered when making recommendations as well as the AAPD guidelines on the standard of care for children's dental treatment. For these reasons you can rest assured your child will be recommended exactly what they need and always the latest technology within the standard of care.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, please keep us informed of any insurance changes such as policy name, insurance company address, or a change of employment so we can keep your records accurate and assist you in using your benefits.
