Financial Policy

We have made and will continue to make every effort to keep down the cost of your dental care.  We try to avoid sending statements to help minimize the cost of paperwork, postage and manpower, which affects our fees. Thus, our policy is to request payment at the time of your dental treatment. 

We do our best in planning for your dental treatment understanding it is an investment towards superior dental health.  We will be happy to discuss every procedure and fee before we begin.  We can also help you arrange for payment as several methods are accepted.

Dental Insurance
We participate with most dental insurance companies (Washington Dental Service, Regence Blue Shield, Premera Blue Cross, Metlife Dental, and many more!) and also accept DSHS medical coupons.  As a convenience to you, our patient; our office will submit claims on your behalf.  Please remember that your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company and it is your responsibility to understand the coverage and benefits being provided.  We are only a third party to this agreement. In order for us to properly seek settlement from your insurance company and expedite the processing of claims we ask that you to provide us with updated and accurate insurance information.

Cancellation/Broken Appointment Policy
At Aesthetic Dental Center, we recognize the importance of punctuality in appointments.  We realize that your time is also valuable; therefore we strive to begin dental care within minutes of each patient’s scheduled appointment time. 

Each scheduled appointment reserves at least an hour of our doctor’s and staff’s time.  If you are unable to keep your appointment, we would appreciate at least 2 business days notice so that your reserved time can be made available to another patient.  Otherwise, a $50 per hour charge may be accessed to your account.
