Because insurance plans vary, Dr. Rivera may or may not be considered an “in-network” provider. If George Rivera, DDS, is not in your network, we will do what we can to work with your budget.
Insurance Coverage Basics
Generally, dental insurance plans cover a portion of the costs of preventive care, fillings, crowns, and other procedures. Some plans may also cover dentures and bridges, orthodontics, or periodontics.
Many dental insurance plans provide a 100-80-50 coverage structure, meaning they may cover 100 percent of preventive care, 80 percent of basic procedures, and 50 percent of major procedures. However, an insurance plan may not cover major procedures like oral surgery or certain treatments like sealants.
Again, the details depend entirely on the type of insurance plan you have and your family’s unique needs.
CareCredit
CareCredit makes essential dental care more attainable for individuals and families. Typically, uninsured patients use CareCredit to pay for their treatment, but insured patients can also use it if their plan doesn’t fully cover a particular type of procedure.
CareCredit offers no-interest short-term loans. Applying for CareCredit is simple, and approval usually takes only a few minutes. This family-friendly program has helped numerous patients receive the dental care they need when they need it.
Questions About Dental Insurance? Call George Rivera, DDS, to Learn More
As your trusted dentist in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, we aim to help you receive the high-quality dental care you deserve. If you have any questions about treatment, costs, or dental insurance, please don’t hesitate to call our office.
We understand that some patients may feel afraid or anxious about their dental visit. Because your comfort is important to us, we provide different techniques to help you relax during your treatment.
What Types Of Technology Do You Use?
One of the ways we help nervous patients relax is by using noninvasive sedation dentistry. We use The Wand for single tooth anesthesia and oral sedation when requested.
- The Wand is a slender, probe-like tool that delivers anesthesia to one specific tooth, inhibiting the patient from feeling pain or discomfort during treatment. No one enjoys getting poked and prodded, especially when they’re sitting in a dental chair. The Wand eliminates our reliance on anesthetic syringes of the past.
- Prescribed by your physician or dentist, oral sedation typically comes in pill form and stays in the body’s system longer than single tooth anesthesia.
Discover Compassionate and Gentle Dentistry
The last thing we want to do is push our patients to their limit or upset them. We simply want the best for your health, and we will never make you feel obligated or pressured into treatment.
To learn more about how we manage dental anxiety, contact one of our caring team members.
