Dental Insurance West Palm Beach
Important Information About Dental Insurance
At Impressions Dentistry in West Palm Beach, our philosophy is simple: every patient deserves the highest level of dental care, regardless of insurance coverage. As a fee-for-service dental office, we focus on quality, not restrictions, so you receive the treatments and materials best suited for your smile.
When you visit our practice, you’re treated like family. Each appointment is one-on-one with Dr. Gaffney and our team — no rushing, no long waits, and no split attention. Unlike insurance-driven offices where doctors may bounce from room to room, at Impressions Dentistry you have our complete focus and personalized care every time.
WHY CHOOSE AN OUT OF NETWORK DENTIST?
Selecting an out-of-network dentist offers distinct advantages for patients who value quality, flexibility, and personalized care. At Impressions Dentistry in West Palm Beach, we believe your treatment should be guided by what is best for your health, not by the limitations of an insurance contract.
Key benefits include:
Individualized treatment planning – Recommendations are based solely on your needs and long-term oral health.
Quality without compromise – We use advanced techniques and materials selected for their effectiveness and durability, not because they are the lowest-cost option allowed by insurance.
Time and attention – Appointments are structured so that you receive the full focus of Dr. Gaffney and our team, without unnecessary delays or rushed visits.
Expanded treatment options – Greater flexibility to pursue the procedures and outcomes that best align with your goals.
Simplified reimbursement – While payment is made at the time of service, our office files claims as a courtesy so you can receive direct reimbursement from your insurance provider.
This approach ensures that your care is tailored to you, offering a higher standard of dentistry while still allowing you to take advantage of the benefits your insurance provides.
FAQ – Dental Insurance & Reimbursement
How Does Insurance Reimbursement Work?
What does it mean to be an out-of-network dentist?
Being out-of-network means there is no contract between our office and your insurance company. At Impressions Dentistry in West Palm Beach, payment is made at the time of service. We then file your claim as a courtesy so you can receive direct reimbursement from your provider.
Will I still receive insurance benefits if you are out-of-network?
Yes. Most patients with out-of-network benefits are eligible for reimbursement directly from their insurance company. The amount you receive will depend on your plan and coverage details.
How do I get reimbursed for my visit?
Our team submits your insurance claim for you after your appointment. Once processed, your insurance provider will send the reimbursement directly to you, usually by check or direct deposit.
How long does it take to receive reimbursement?
Processing times vary by insurance company, but most claims are filed by your provider within 45-90 days, although some providers are faster, some providers may be slower.
We recommend contacting your provider for specific timelines.
What types of services are typically covered?
Most dental insurance policies cover preventive and restorative care such as checkups, cleanings, fillings, crowns, dentures, extractions, and root canals. Cosmetic procedures, such as whitening or veneers, are usually not covered unless medically necessary.
Do you offer payment options for larger treatment plans?
Yes. For more extensive treatment, payment options may be available and can be discussed on a case-by-case basis during your consultation.
