We will always work with you to maximize your dental benefits. We accept most major insurance providers in Oregon, but not all insurances are considered “in network”. Of course we’re always happy to work with out of network insurance providers but cannot guarantee that they will cover your services. We recommend you check with your insurance provider and their policy for out of network providers. Please bring your current insurance policy information to your visit as we can often times help you determine the best course of action.
