Maintaining good oral health is crucial, and having dental insurance plays a significant role in ensuring that you can access the necessary dental care without financial strain. At Ayotte Dental, we believe in making dental care accessible and affordable for our patients. In this blog post, we’ll provide an overview of the importance of dental insurance, detail the insurance providers we accept, and explain how to navigate insurance and payment options at our clinic. We’ll also share testimonials from satisfied patients and address some frequently asked questions about dental insurance. Finally, we’ll encourage you to take advantage of your insurance benefits by scheduling an appointment with us.
The Importance of Dental Insurance
Dental insurance is essential for maintaining good oral health. It helps cover the cost of preventive care, such as regular check-ups and cleanings, as well as more extensive treatments like fillings, crowns, and root canals. By having dental insurance, you can ensure that you receive the necessary care to keep your teeth and gums healthy, preventing more serious and costly issues down the line.

- Delta Dental

- Guardian
- MetLife
Please note that this list is subject to change, and our staff will verify that we accept your insurance provider when you contact us.
Navigating Insurance and Payment Options
Understanding your dental insurance can be challenging, but our knowledgeable accounting staff is here to help. We’ll prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits and can submit a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance company so you’ll know what your benefits will be before any services are performed.
It’s important to remember that your insurance policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. While we do our best to help you maximize your benefits, you are ultimately responsible for any costs not covered by your insurance. Our fees are the usual and customary rates charged to all our patients, regardless of their insurance coverage.
Flexible Payment Arrangements
To make dental care more affordable, we offer several flexible payment options:
- Automatic Monthly Billing: You can choose to have a comfortable amount automatically billed to your Visa or MasterCard on a monthly basis to cover any costs not paid by your insurance.
- Lending Club Patient Solutions: For more extensive dental care, you can apply for financing through Lending Club Patient Solutions. This option allows you to begin treatment immediately and pay for it over time with low monthly payments. Lending Club offers no-interest financing if paid within 12 months, with no up-front costs, prepayment penalties, or annual fees.
