The anesthesia fee estimate is based on the dentist’s estimated operating time, which will vary with the surgical complexity, anesthesia preparatory time and the patient’s individual response to the anesthetic agents used. This estimate will be given to you prior to scheduling your appointment. A non-refundable deposit may be required at the time the appointment is made. This will be applied to your final bill. Payment for anesthesia services is due the day of treatment. For your convenience, I accept cash, checks or credit cards. It is important that reimbursement for the anesthesia fee by dental or medical insurance programs NOT be assumed. Many insurance policies do not pay for anesthesia services for dentistry. Please check with your insurance company representative as to the benefits included. I do not bill insurance companies directly for services, but I am happy to supply you with a receipt with the proper codes and insurance information, so that you may be reimbursed by your insurance carrier.
