Our practice is built on the belief that patients want to receive the highest quality dental care available, because it provides them with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their mouth is healthy and that they will be able to keep their teeth for a lifetime.

In order for Dr. Banks to provide patients with quality care, fees are based on the amount of care, skill and judgment that go into providing those services. When fees are determined by a third party to satisfy the bottom line without taking into consideration the high standards of this office, then something must be compromised. This compromise can manifest itself in such ways as less time spent with patients, use of lower quality materials, and inferior laboratory support.

As a courtesy to our patients who do have insurance, we will provide a claim form with an itemized receipt for you to mail to your insurance company. The insurance company will then reimburse you directly. In order to do so, please bring in your patient insurance I.D. card. We will also need the name of the insured, his/her place of work, the carrier's social security number, and birthdate. This information will enable us to print an accurate and detailed claim form for you.

Payment is expected in full on the day of each appointment. If other arrangements are needed, our financial administrator will be happy to speak with you prior to your appointment. We make every effort, when possible, to inform the patient of the fees for service prior to their appointment. Our office accepts cash, personal checks, Visa, and MasterCard.

Thank you for choosing Dr. Banks for your restorative needs. Please feel free to ask the staff any questions you may have.
