Patient Education:

Dr. Emerson and his staff of caring professionals believe that you should be completely informed about your choices of treatment. The Dr. and staff will assist you in answering questions and understanding the benefits and consequences of treatment options. Often, there are multiple treatment choices; YOU are given the opportunity to make the best choices for your situation.

Financial Policies:

Dr. Emerson and his staff understand that treatment can often be an unplanned expense and one that insurance often does not cover. In an effort to help, our office strives to make treatment affordable by providing a variety of payment plans.

Dental Insurance:

Though our office does not "participate" in any insurance plan, we will assist you by providing completed forms and any accompanying documentation to your insurance company; any benefits will then be paid directly to you. Please bring your insurance card or papers on the first visit.

Please understand, however, that you are ultimately responsible for payment of all services. Should your insurance not cover what is predicted, then you will be responsible to pay any uncovered portion.

Payment Options:

A wide variety of plans are offered; we will make every effort to consider your individual circumstances and design a plan that fits your needs.

Pre-medication:
