We have committed to adapting to biologically based procedural and conceptual changes as they occur. Several technologies have made a profound impact on the way modern endodontic treatment is performed. We have invested in and trained in the use of several of these technologies to achieve the highest clinical treatment standards.
Thefee foryour endodontic treatmentwill be based on the extent of treatment. Duringyour first visit we will discuss the probably number of visits, their length, and the fees involved. While we do recognize the unique natureof our practice and the specialized kinds of cases we treat, it is our policy to work with you as much aspossible in order toensure your treatment works for you financially. We will ask for your cooperation in providing all necessary insurance information in order to better educateyou on your financial responsibility. Woo Endodonticswill work with most insurance carriersin order to lessen your initial out-of-pocket expense; however, we do require your estimated patient portion in full at the time your treatmentis completed.
