Saw this dentist on Instagram and had to share this video. It seems absolutely unreal but unfortunately was very real. We deal with insurance everyday and it is getting worse and worse as time goes on. Crazy stuff!!

Patients will ask us if we "accept their insurance?" Our reply is and always has been that we will accept insurance but we have not signed up to be a provider for ANY insurance companies. We are strictly a "fee for service" provider. That means, regardless of insurance, we charge one fee that is the same for everyone. The patient or guarantor owes the difference. Period. Other offices have agreed to accept the fees offered by the insurance company. The fees are always lower than the regular fees the dentist would charge. Because they accepted these fees, those dentists cannot charge the patient the difference between the PPO or DSO fees and the dentist's actual fees.

Not a day goes by that we don't see an email or a post from a company that helps these dentists get out of these plans. Interesting, isn't it? If these plans are so wonderful, why does everyone want to get out of them? Why do other dental offices stay in the plans? We don't want to work for insurance companies we want to work for our patients who have chosen to come to our office.

It all comes down to time, material and money. It will take any dentist about the same amount of time to do a procedure. What's the difference? Materials are a big variable. We don't cut our costs with buying inferior products. We invested in tech to make your crown in house in front of you. We have never used a lab that sends cases to China and never would.

Time spent with patients is another variable. We see our patients one at a time. Coming to the dentist makes many people anxious. We get to know our patients. Truly know them. That is what you will always experience at Derango Family Dental.

Got the 'ol hygiene dream team back together yesterday. Sherri was in from Florida visiting family and stopped by the office. She lives in Florida but misses being at the office. She often says that our office was always her favorite office to work at. Loved the office and patients. We miss Sherri and were happy to see her!!

FYI: We offer adult aligner orthodontics at our office. (We do, however, believe that children's ortho cases should be treated by a board certified orthodontist). Adults, however, can usually be treated right here in our office. Here is the before and after of a recent case. The teeth were just not in the right place and after wearing aligners for a while, our patient was happy with the results. Ask us today about how you can straighten your teeth and have the smile you always wanted. People are living longer and keeping all their teeth. Teeth in the proper position are easier to maintain and look better on top of it!!
