A typical day

  • There is no financial limit to this insurance so we are able to provide the treatment which we think is best for patients
  • Insurance covers Restorative, Endodontics, Oral Surgery, Pediatrics, Limited Prosthodontics which includes crowns and dentures, partials
14
Teaching Cases
  • For the procedures that insurance does not cover, the program offers the opportunity for residents to provide the service to the patient at cost—ie, patient to pay for lab fees.
  • This includes cosmetics, bridges, implants, etc
  •  We often do selected perio sx like crown lengthening, gingivectomy, distal wedge, etc at no cost to the patient if the resident wishes to gain experience in that area
