New Patients

Your first appointment with our office will include a comprehensive exam and all necessary dental x-rays. From this information we can develop a treatment plan and discuss your options, we can then discuss fees, examine insurance if necessary, and work with you to develop a final plan that will fit your budget.

Most dental insurance is intended to cover some, but not all of the cost of your dental care. Dental plans typically have deductibles, limitations, exclusions, yearly maximum benefits, and fee schedules that make it difficult to predict exactly what your benefit will be. It is important to remember that professional services are rendered and charged to our patients, not to our patients’ insurance companies. Therefore, you will be held responsible for your account, not your insurance company. Our treatments and fees are based on quality dentistry. Reimbursement amounts are not a guideline for quality care.

Please bring all of your insurance plan information with you on your first visit. We will work with you in your efforts to secure the maximum benefits to which you are entitled to under your specific plan.

Our office supports the Georgia Dental Associations stance on Freedom of Choice. We believe every person should have a choice as to which dentist they will see and should not be restricted by a “list” of dentists who are under contract with insurance companies. Therefore, we have chosen not to “sign up” with any insurance policy which limits the patient’s freedom of choice. We support Direct Reimbursement and Indemnity plans, but we are out of network with PPO’s and DMO’s. For more information, please visit http://www.gadental.org/Dentalbenefits.htm.

If you have any questions about your insurance plan or payment options, please call Our staff at 770-968-1720.

Payment in full will be expected at the time of service. For your convenience, we offer the following payment options:

• Cash
• Personal Check (we will need to verify your account with your bank)
• Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Credit Cards

Once you have established a good financial history with our office, and under special circumstances, we may consider working out short term payment plans for our patients. However, please understand that we are not a lending institution and our ability to assist you with financial matters is very limited.
