Understanding Your Dental Insurance Policy
By Brittany Boulay
Many patients are using dental insurance they’ve obtained through their employer or a self-funded plan. When choosing a dental insurance policy, it is important that you obtain a plan that will provide good coverage for your needs. Popular insurance companies that offer PPO plans include Delta Dental, Cigna, Metlife, Aetna, Guardian, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Assurant, and we accept them all! Sometimes patients don’t have a choice as their policy is negotiated between the insurance company and their employer. Whatever the case may be, it is very important that you are familiar with your coverages, frequencies, and limitations so you are properly prepared for your appointment.
At Advanced Dental Care, our staff is fully trained and equipped to provide a courtesy insurance verification prior to your appointment. One of our friendly and knowledgeable staff members will take some basic information from you during your initial phone call or email to our office. Using the information you provide, we request a breakdown of your insurance benefits, frequencies, and limitations. Although we perform the check, this is not a guarantee of benefits, and is really done as a courtesy to you to make your appointment run smoothly.

October is 
Opening and owning your own business is a huge task (as we’ve learned), but the reward from our line of work is one of the most rewarding experiences anyone could ever have at a job. Our patients welcomed us with open arms and open hearts when Dr. Jorgenson took over the practice last July. We were eager to meet everyone and also to show our patients a different dental experience than they may have had in the past. Dr. Jorgenson has a pretty simple philosophy when it comes to dentistry and patient care. He always ensures that our staff is prepared for the patient’s visit as best as possible before they arrive and goes to extra lengths to accommodate any special requests our patients might have (like no cold water, wants to listen to 90s pop music only, is nervous and needs extra TLC, etc.). When patients are in our office, they are our number one priority. You will be greeted by our front office staff and get settled in by one of our Registered Dental Assistants Jayme, Rose, or Brittany.
