Understanding your benefits

Yes, you can choose your dentist.

We accept dental insurance plans with the exception of Medicaid and certain Medicare plans. Delta Dental is the only insurer we are in-network with. For other accepted plans, we provide care as an out-of-network office.

Many plans include out-of-network benefits that may help pay for your treatment here. Coverage and your share of the cost depend on your specific plan. Our team can help you check those details before you move forward.

Not sure where your plan fits? Call us with your insurance information. We will help clarify whether your plan can be used at our office and what to expect.

Personal care. Lasting relationships.

Exceptional dentistry starts with you.

Your comfort, your goals, and your long-term health deserve personal attention. Let’s talk about the care you need and the options that help you move forward.

Out-of-network, explained

Let’s look at your actual options.

Being out-of-network does not automatically mean your insurance cannot help. It does mean that benefits may differ from what your plan pays at an in-network office, and your out-of-pocket cost may be higher.

Before making a decision, let’s talk through your treatment needs, available benefits, and estimated cost. That gives you a clearer picture of what choosing Bright Star Dental could look like for you.

Your questions, answered

Insurance and financing FAQs

Do you accept my insurance, and are you in-network?

We accept dental insurance plans except Medicaid and certain Medicare plans. We are only in-network with Delta Dental, including PPO and Premier. For other accepted plans, we are out-of-network. Call us to verify your specific plan and benefits.

Can I use out-of-network benefits at Bright Star Dental?

If your plan includes benefits for out-of-network dental care, it may help cover treatment here. Your plan determines covered services, reimbursement, deductibles, and annual limits. We can help you understand the details and your estimated portion.

Why choose an out-of-network dentist?

Your relationship with your dentist, the attention you receive, and the approach to your care all matter. At Bright Star Dental, we combine advanced training, a broad range of services, and personalized care. We will help you understand the costs so you can decide whether our practice is the right fit for you.

What if I do not have dental insurance?

You are welcome here. We can discuss treatment costs and explore Cherry, CareCredit, or, in certain situations, in-office financing. Financing approval and terms vary.

Can I finance the portion insurance does not cover?

Financing may be an option for your remaining treatment costs. Ask our team about Cherry, CareCredit, and whether an in-office arrangement may be available for your circumstances.
