Payment Information & Insurance

Insurance & Forms of Payment
Dr. Mary Smith and her team in Orinda, CA make every effort to provide not only excellent, but also affordable dental care. Money shouldn’t keep you from having the perfect smile you deserve. We accept cash and major credit cards.

Insurance
We are often asked if we accept dental insurance and we do, if your insurance plan allows you to choose your own dentist.  To be certain, please check with your insurance company.

Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. We file dental insurance claims as a courtesy to you.  We do not have a contract with your insurance company, only you do. The patient is responsible for the fees the insurance plan does not cover. Our front desk staff does their very best to give a close estimate of insurance benefits, however we have no control over the benefits that are paid by your insurance company. It is impossible to determine what each insurance company will pay, as we accept hundreds of insurance plans. 

Our doctors recommend services that are in the best interest of the patient, often, not what insurance companies cover. It is our primary goal and responsibility to help our patients obtain good dental health. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional insurance questions.

Dr. Mary Smith and the team at Mary H. Smith D.D.S. in Orinda, CA are proud to offer excellent dental care at an affordable price. If you have any questions or concerns about insurance and financing options, please contact our office.
