At Favorite Smile Pediatric Dentistry, we strive to provide a fun and supportive environment for children. Dr. Alarcon will develop a comprehensive treatment plan to help achieve the healthy smile you have always wanted for your child. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about your child’s treatment options when you come in for your child’s appointment. If you are moving into the area please ask your former dentist to send a copy of your child’s records.Please be sure to bring your dental insurance card and arrive early to fill out your initial paperwork if you have not already done so.
At your child’s initial visit, Dr. Alarcon will perform an oral examination and will also review oral hygiene instructions such as brushing techniques and flossing. The extent of the examination will depend entirely on you and your child’s comfort level. Our approach to dentistry for children is “Tell, Show, Do.” We will always tell your child about each procedure and how it works, show your child what it looks like, and then perform the procedure when they are comfortable.
Our goal is for both you and your child to leave our office calm, happy and smiling from ear to ear!
INSURANCE:
Dental Insurance is different from Medical Insurance. Many patients aren’t familiar with the specifics of their dental insurance benefits. Your dental benefits are based on the agreement your employer negotiated with your insurance carrier. Please review the insurance benefit booklet provided by your employer to better understand the benefits they make available as part of your insurance coverage. The patient payment portion covered for procedures varies depending on the coverage provided by your employer.
An estimate of the amount covered by your insurance company will be provided at the time of your treatment, based on the information they provide to us. The estimate is never a guarantee of benefits or the amount that will be paid. We will file all insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. This does not however, transfer the responsibility of your financial obligation to the insurance company. If the amount paid by the insurance company is less than or greater than the estimate, then you will be billed the difference or issued a credit on the account in the event of an overpayment. Please let us know if you have questions about our financial policies or financing options prior to your treatment.
