. Several posts mention offices that “take insurance “. I’m sure that you all mean that the office participates with your insurance. So this means that the office accepts what the insurance company pays as payment in full. Dental insurance companies have not kept up with modern dentistry, the improved techniques, materials & technology. They are still paying the Dentist the equivalent of Stone Age dental care. Please keep in mind that there is a staff to pay & you know you get what you pay for. Experience , proper sterilization, education, materials that have not expired, staff that is trained to handle a medical emergency should one arise while a patient is in the office. Be wary of offices that participate (accept a lower fee), ask where they have cut costs to allow for this reduced amount of income. Again, remember that they have staff to pay. Is their staff struggling because of low pay? Best way to find a great office is to ask your friends & neighbors & check Google reviews. Best wishes in your search.
