Patient Referrals to Dental Specialties
We typically provide all aspects of dental treatment and care. However, there are cases which we will refer for specialized treatment. The following dental specialties are currently recognized by the American Dental Association:

• Endodontists perform root canals and treat diseases of the pulp and nerves
  inside the tooth.
• Oral and maxillofacial surgeons treat injuries and defects of the mouth and
  jaw and often perform complex tooth extractions.
• Oral pathologists examine, identify, and diagnose diseases of the mouth.
• Orthodontists straighten teeth and correct the position of jaws by using
  braces and/or other appliances that affect oral growth and development.
• Pediatric dentists provide comprehensive dental care for children,
  adolescents, and for special patients who have mental, physical or emotional
  problems.
• Periodontists treat diseases of the gums and underlying bone that holds teeth.
• Prosthodontists replace missing teeth by designing and fitting dentures and
  bridgework.
• Public health dentists develop and administer public or private education and
  prevention programs for entire communities or organizations.

When Dr. Green has spoken with a patient and a recommended referral has been agreed upon, we will telephone the recommended office to introduce the patient and schedule the appointment with that office. In the presence of, and with the permission of the patient, we will also provide that office with any necessary initial patient information to have the patient properly registered as a patient in that practice.

Payment Information

Managing the Costs/Financing Your Dental Treatment

Because healthcare consumers are increasingly more aware of the importance of maintaining healthy body systems, the costs associated with healthcare in America is a concern. Statewide budget reductions and corporate budget cut-backs are also a big issue. It should be noted that dental fees have risen at a slower pace than costs of other healthcare services.

CARE CREDIT! CARE CREDIT! CARE CREDIT!
Have you heard about it? CARE CREDIT is an established banking and financial institution that is sensitive to the financial needs of patients. We offer this financing option to our patients because the application process is very easy and so quick. The response time is usually less than 60 seconds. Our accounts representatives will be happy to assist you with a CARE CREDIT application or answer any questions about CARE CREDIT.

Dental Insurance
We accept most dental-assigned dental insurance benefits. We encourage you to question your employer and your insurance company thoroughly to be sure about what your insurance benefits include and the percentages your policy pays for the treatment and services indicated for individuals covered under your policy.

You should also know that while your policy plan may pay the sponsor's "usual,” "customary," or "reasonable," fee limit for the services provided, the fee limits may, or may not reflect usual, customary or reasonable fees charged by the dentists in your area.

Additional Payment Options
In addition to cash and personal checks, we also accept most major credit cards. Please speak with our accounts representatives about other payment options available to you.
