Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most patients should visit every six months for cleanings and exams. However, some people—like those with gum disease—may need more frequent visits.
-
During your first visit, we’ll review your medical history, take digital X-rays if needed, perform a comprehensive exam, and discuss your oral health goals. We’ll also create a personalized treatment plan and answer any questions you have.
-
Routine cleanings are usually painless. If you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, you may feel mild discomfort, but we can use gentle techniques or numbing options to keep you comfortable.
-

-
Yes, we offer flexible payment options and financing plans to make dental care affordable for every patient.
-
We’re in-network with Cigna and Delta Dental Premier. Many patients choose to see us out-of-network and still receive similar - if not the same - coverage levels. Contact our team to learn how we can help you get the most out of your dental benefits.
-
You can always check with your insurance company to find out what they are and how much they cover. However, the Ten Mile Dental insurance team can check for you and give you an exact break down.
-
In many cases, out-of-network benefits cover preventive services at 100%. Exams and cleanings are considered preventive by both Ten Mile Dental and most insurance carriers. Share your insurance details with us, and we’ll help you understand your benefits and provide an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs based on the information your carrier provides.
-
Being out of network simply means Ten Mile Dental does not have a direct contract with your insurance provider - it does not mean we don’t accept your insurance.
Many insurance carriers place limitations on the type and scope of care a provider can offer. At Ten Mile Dental, our providers deliver personalized, high-quality treatment tailored to each patient’s needs, which is why we choose not to participate in certain insurance networks that could compromise that standard of care.When you're out of network, your insurance sets a maximum fee for each procedure and covers a percentage of that amount. If their fee is lower than ours, the difference is the patient's responsibility.
For most, it's a minimal cost difference (if there is a difference at all) to receive the personalized, high-quality care Ten Mile Dental is known for. Patients choose us for our experienced and friendly team, advanced technology, and commitment to comfort and clear communication. -
