Questions we get

Give us your plan's name and card number. Before the visit we check what it covers and tell you what we find. What each plan covers is the plan's decision.

You pay according to your fee level, which depends on your family's income and how many people live in your home. Before any treatment you get the cost in writing.

Call us before you come. We confirm whether we see patients with your coverage, and we promise nothing until it's confirmed.

Most people feel pressure, not pain, and we stop whenever you ask. If something worries you, tell us when you book and the dentist talks it over with you first.

Yes. It's the clinic's rule: no treatment starts until you have the cost in writing and say yes.

Call us or message us on WhatsApp as early as you can. We'll find you another time, no trouble.
