How much will the proposed treatment cost? What method of payment does the dentist accept?
Check with your insurance company or managed care plan about the services covered and the amount it will reimburse for the treatment. Your dentist can submit a “Pretreatment Plan” for the insurer’s review. The insurer will inform you of the costs that will be reimbursed under your particular plan. If you need a specialist, ask your general dentist for a referral. Ask if the specialist is board certified or board eligible in the specialty.
