When teeth and gums are healthy, it is recommended by the American Dental Association that adults and children visit the dentist and have their teeth professionally cleaned and examined twice a year. For patients with gum disease, professional cleaning is recommended every 3-4 months, as well as for those with special dental needs, such as children undergoing orthodontic treatment (i.e., braces). If you are unsure how often you should visit the dentist, we would be glad to assist.

At Kinsey Smiles, we take most dental PPO insurances and will work with you to maximize your benefits. To expedite the insurance claim process, be sure to bring your membership card, member number, information about the insured (it might be your spouse or parent), and any other pertinent information.

We use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras, so it is easy for us to provide your insurance company with additional information electronically when they request it.

Since there are so many different plans available, it is a good idea to review your coverage before moving forward with treatment. We will do our best to estimate what your insurance will cover along with any out-of-pocket expenses so you can avoid unwelcome financial surprises. You can even contact your insurance company ahead of time to determine if a certain procedure will be covered.
