Information for Our Dental PatientsWhile your smile deserves to be kept in a timeless state, we believe your dentist should respect the fact that you have a busy life. Your appointment should be as efficient and easy as your dentist should be friendly and gentle. We pride ourselves on delivering personalized care while saving you time and money with effective service. New Patient FormsPatient AppointmentsWhether you need a simple brush up with a cleaning, or a more complex procedure such as a filling, Dr. Thompson will surpass your expectations while meeting your needs. We look forward to adding you and your smile to our collection of happy clients.Our Dental Receptionists and Office Manager will help you to schedule appointments, complete necessary paperwork and answer any billing questions that you may have. Patients are seen by appointment only. We make every effort to be on time for our patients, and we ask the same courtesy from your family. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately, giving a minimum of 48 hours notice to avoid any missed appointment fees. We realize that unexpected illnesses and emergencies may occur, but we ask for your assistance in this regard. Our office strives to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available. Insurance & Patient Co-paymentsIf you have insurance we will help you determine the coverage you have available. In order to best assist you, it is important that you submit your dental and/or medical insurance information to us with your New Patient Paperwork a minimum of two business days prior to your scheduled appointment. This allows us time to contact your insurance company and obtain a breakdown of the benefits you or your employer purchased from the company. In addition, you will want to bring a dental benefit book that your carrier should be able to provide. Our business team will be happy to help you understand your policy.Should you be diagnosed with treatment services, we will be able to provide you with a detailed plan which will give you an estimate of how much your insurance company may pay for each procedure, as well as the portion you will be expected to pay at the time of service. Professional care is provided to you, our patient family, and not to an insurance company. The insurance company is responsible only to the patient as a benefit from the individual or employer plan purchase, and the patient is responsible to the doctor. We will assist you every way we can in filing your dental or medical claim and handling insurance questions from our office on your behalf. Financial PolicyIn an effort to reduce the cost to you, the patient, while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established the financial policy as follows:
 We are proud to be a CareCredit financing provider. Apply Here Appointments & Consultations All patients that are referred to our office from another practice, or who have self-referred themselves for a second opinion are required to undergo a complete examination by our doctor before he provides his diagnosis opinion. Please ensure that all available x-rays and chart notes from your prior office have been transferred to us prior to the scheduled appointment for review. Please note that many offices require 7–14 business days to transfer records. It is imperative that we have all available dental (and medical if related to trauma or medically diagnosed disorder) insurance information in a timely manner, as we will be providing you with a comprehensive treatment estimate after your consultation with the doctor. If you have questions about the consultation services we provide, please email us today or call at 503-357-9122. |
