OFFICE POLICIES
APPOINTMENTS
We make every effort to see your child at their scheduled appointment time; we ask you to afford us the same courtesy. Schools typically recognize dental appointments as excused absences, and we are happy to provide a doctor’s note upon request.
CANCELLATIONS
We understand that illness or unforeseen emergencies happen. If you are unable to make it, we kindly ask that you notify us at least 48 hours in advance or you may be charged a fee. While we will do our best to accommodate a rescheduled time, please be aware that the most desirable appointment slots are difficult to secure on short notice.
faqs
How much does my ortho treatment cost?
Does my insurance cover braces?
Insurance coverage can vary. Our team will carefully review your insurance policy and work with you to maximize your benefits, ensuring you get the most out of your coverage.
How does dental insurance work?
Dental insurance is a partnership between you, your employer, and your insurance provider. The benefits are determined by the terms of this agreement, not by the dental practice itself.
It’s a common misconception that dental insurance covers the full cost of every procedure. Some treatments may only be partially reimbursed — or not covered at all. These limitations are not based on your personal needs but are established by the terms negotiated between your employer and the insurance company.
While we strive to provide accurate estimates of insurance coverage, please note that the pricing we offer is not a guarantee of payment or approval from the insurance company.
Why is my insurance not accepted?
Many insurance plans impose limitations that restrict the types of treatments available, the number of visits and services covered within a given timeframe, and prevent us from offering the high-quality care we believe in.
At The Tickled Tooth, we prioritize comprehensive, personalized care, and unfortunately, the constraints imposed by many insurance companies conflict with our commitment to providing the highest standard of care. By not being bound by these constraints, we can give you the time and attention you deserve and use the latest technology and state-of-the-art materials, ensuring the best possible care without compromise.
Can I use an “out of network” plan at your office?
Absolutely. The great news is that many out-of-network PPO plans offer generous reimbursement for preventive care and typically cover 50-80% of additional services — often comparable to in-network coverage.
