Treatment Consent
I hereby consent to the dental and oral surgery procedures that have been explained to me and deemed necessary or advisable by my dental care provider. This includes the administration of local anesthetics and any prescribed medications as required for my treatment.
I acknowledge and accept full financial responsibility for all fees associated with the procedures and treatments provided.
Financial Consent
Your dentist or certified specialist is obligated to treat you, not your dental plan. Treatment recommendations are based on your dental health needs, which may differ widely from what your plan covers. Base your decision on an informed discussion with our dental team regarding your dental needs as this decision can impact your health and should not be dictated by your dental plan coverage. Unless prior arrangements have been made, payment is due upon completion of treatment. Please note that not all services may be covered by your insurance carrier and every insurance plan has its own unique exceptions. It is the patient's responsibility to cover procedures that are not covered by the insurance plan. We look forward to taking care of your oral health needs and welcome you and your family to our team of dental professionals.
