Dental Insurance and Payment in Apple Valley

"Do you accept my insurance?" is a common concern that our pediatric dental & orthodontic clinic in Apple Valley, MN often voice – many times followed with "Will I have to pay anything out of pocket?"

At Carousel Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we want our patients to know that we work hard to maximize their insurance benefits. From completing the paperwork to answering insurance plan questions, we make every effort possible to keep your costs low. We try to provide this convenience to our valued patients, so you don't have to deal with your insurance provider's paperwork.

Unlike medical insurance, dental insurance is designed for regular use, generally once every six months. In contrast, medical insurance is only used during an emergency and other serious health issues. Dental insurance is to be used on preventive dentistry like dental cleanings, exams, x-rays, and more. By being proactive rather than reactive with your oral health, you can help keep your family's smiles healthy and strong. 

We are always happy to discuss financial arrangements that work with you so that we can provide the quality, patient-centered dentistry you deserve.

Don't Neglect Your Oral Health Due to Financing Concerns

We realize that many patients focus on the cost of their family's oral health dental care instead of putting the well-being of their smiles first.

At Carousel Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we're here to reverse this focus.

Your teeth and gums aren't independent of the rest of your body; they are closely tied to your general health. Taking care of your gums and teeth can have a huge impact on your whole body.

We are upfront with our treatment costs, so patients never have to worry about any surprise or hidden fees. Don't avoid critical dental care because you worry you can't afford treatment; we are here to work with you.

Maintaining excellent oral health is very important. We use our teeth every day in all aspects of our lives. We move our jaw joints and tongue to aid us in speech and eating. We smile and laugh to help establish connections and to convey kindness, happiness, and compassion. We use our teeth to chew our favorite foods and to establish a good diet and nutrition.

Neglecting our oral health by not maintaining preventive dentistry or practicing poor oral hygiene puts our entire health and well-being at risk. Overlooking our dental health can affect our teeth and gums by inviting destructive dental conditions like tooth decay, gum disease, infections, abscesses, and more.

At Carousel Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we want to make high-quality oral health care accessible for families in our community. If you ever have any questions or concerns about dental insurance or financing, please don't hesitate to call us at (952) 715-6177.
