our costs to you before the commencement of any treatment.
Q. How do I pay?
You can pay by cash, cheque, NETS or credit card
(Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Diners).
Normally, payments are expected at each visit. However, for extensive
work, you will be required to pay a deposit on your first visit and
to settle the balance when the work is completed. Advance payment
is also accepted.
Q. What if I have dental insurance?
Many of our patients have insurance
to help pay towards the cost of their dentistry and our fees are
the same, regardless of whether a patient has insurance or not.
However, it is our policy that patients are responsible for ensuring
that their bills are paid in full. Therefore you will need to make
your own financial arrangements before receiving treatment and will
need to ensure that the bill is settled in full at the end of your
treatment.
Should there be a dispute between you and your insurance company,
it must be handled directly you and them. However, we will gladly
provide any relevant information to help settle the matter.
Q. What is holistic dentistry?
Promotion of health and wellness instead of the treatment of disease, incorporating both modern scientific knowledge and traditional medicine on natural healing. The whole person approach: the mind, body, and spirit, not just mouth or teeth.
Nutritional healing and diet control are part of the holistic approach, based on the use of vitamins, minerals, herbs and food supplements hair analysis, MORA treatments, QXCI treatment, allergy tests, mercury free approach, supplements and homeopathic recommendations to balance the body chemistry.
