Insurance and Benefits
Elm Ridge is in-network with many major PPO dental plans and can file many out-of-network PPO plans. Benefits vary by employer and plan. We can estimate benefits, but final payment is determined by the insurance company.
Financing Options
CareCredit and Cherry are available. In-house payment arrangements may be considered case by case. Payment is due at the time of service unless another arrangement has been made before treatment.
Why an Exam May Be Needed
A clear aligner consultation is needed to confirm whether aligners are appropriate and which brand or workflow fits.
