As a condition of your treatment by this office, financial arrangements must be made in advance. The practice depends upon reimbursement from the patients for the costs incurred in their care. Financial responsibility on the part of each patient must be determined before treatment.
All emergency dental services, or any dental services performed without previous financial arrangements, must be paid for in cash at the time services are performed.
Patients who carry dental insurance understand that all dental services furnished are charged directly to the patient and that he or she is personally responsible for payment of all dental services. This office will help prepare the patients insurance forms or assist in making collections from insurance companies and will credit any such collections to the patient's account. However, this dental office cannot render services on the assumption that our charges will be paid by an insurance company.
A service charge of 1½% per month (18% per annum) on the unpaid balance will be charged on all accounts exceeding 60 days, unless previously written financial arrangements are satisfied.
I understand that the fee estimate listed for this dental care can only be extended for a period of six months from the date of the patient examination.
In consideration for the professional services rendered to me, or at my request, by the Doctor, I agree to pay therefore the reasonable value of said services to said Doctor, or his assignee, at the time said services are rendered, or within five (5) days of billing if credit shall be extended. I further agree that the reasonable value of said services shall be as billed unless objected to, by me, in writing, within the time for payment thereof. I further agree that a waiver of any breach of any time or condition hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any further term or condition and I further agree to pay all costs and reasonable attorney fees if suit be instituted hereunder.
I grant my permission to you or your assignee, to telephone me at home or at my work to discuss matters related to this form.
I have read the above conditions of treatment and payment and agree to their content.

We believe that each patient deserves to know what their current level of dental health is, how they got there, and what treatment options are available to help them reach the level of health that they deserve. This begins with a careful diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. We will perform a comprehensive oral examination of your teeth, gums, jaw joints, bite and soft tissues. We will also take the appropriate x-rays, and when beneficial we may take additional diagnostic records such as photographs or casts of your teeth to further evaluate areas of concern. Once all your records have been completed they will be carefully evaluated to determine your current level of dental health. We will review our findings with you and discuss your treatment options. A personalized treatment plan will then be developed to help you achieve the goals we set together. Please help us better understand your dental health needs and goals by answering the following questions. (check the best answer): Have you had a full set of x-rays(other than routine cavity detecting x-rays)within the last 3 years? ( ) Yes ( ) No I have a ( ) low ( ) moderate ( ) high fear of going to the dentist.
I am ( ) very satisfied ( ) satisfied ( ) dissatisfied ( ) with the appearance of my teeth. I think my present state of dental health is ( ) excellent ( ) good ( ) fair ( ) poor ( ). I would say that my main concerns with my dental health are: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am interested in a smile evaluation and personalized treatment plan to enhance my smile. ( ) Yes ( ) No Please check which statement below best represents the level of dental health you wish to achieve. (Some people begin at one level and progress to a higher level over time.) ( ) HEALTH LEVEL I – Emergency Care
I am only interested in emergency dental care for the relief of pain and/or cosmetic embarrassment. I am not very interested in thinking about the future of my teeth at this time. ( ) HEALTH LEVEL II – Maintenance Care
I am interested in maintenance care by taking an active part in the prevention of the disease process and the
repair of existing problems. However, I am not ready for a higher level of dental care due to limitations of time
and/or money. I understand that maintenance care may not be enough to help me achieve maximum protection
and longevity and that my dental health may not remain stable over time. ( ) HEALTH LEVEL III – Comprehensive Care
I am interested in comprehensive care to achieve and maintain a higher level of dental health. I am concerned about treating the causes of dental diseases, not simply the effects. I want all dental treatment provided to be the best available for maximum protection and longevity, so as to achieve long-term stable dental health. ( ) HEALTH LEVEL IV – Comprehensive & Cosmetic Care
I am interested in comprehensive and cosmetic care to achieve and maintain the highest level of dental health. I
am concerned about treating the causes of dental diseases, not simply the effects. I want all dental treatment
provided to be the best available in cosmetic dentistry for maximum protection, longevity, and esthetics, so as to
achieve long-term stable, yet esthetic dental health.
Sunrise Family Dentistry
Written Financial Policy
Thank you for choosing Sunrise Family Dentistry. Our primary mission is to deliver the best and most comprehensive dental care available. An important part of the mission is making the cost of optimal care as easy and manageable for our patients as possible by offering payment options. Payment Options:
- Cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card or (Checks for existing patients) - Convenient Monthly Payment Options from CareCredit Patients that have no insurance:
Payment in full is due at the time service is rendered. We also offer an in-office Savings Plan to all of our patients.
Patients who have dental insurance coverage that pays the office:
All charges incurred are the responsibility of the patient or their guarantor, NOT the insurance company. We must emphasize that as your dental care provider, our relationship is with you, our patient, not with your insurance company. Your insurance policy is a contract between you, your employer, and the insurance company. Our office is not a party to that contract. Our office does not guarantee that your insurance company will assist with payment for any dental treatment. If your claim is not paid within 60 days, denied, or paid at a lesser amount, you will be responsible for paying the full amount at that time. Our practice will not enter into a dispute with your insurance company over any claim, although we will provide necessary documentation your insurance company requests to sort out any confusion or questions that may arise. It is your responsibility to resolve any type of dispute over payments made or not made by your insurance company to our practice.
We always recommend treatment based on our patient’s dental needs, not based on insurance coverage, which is inadequate with some dental plans. We estimate what the insurance will pay based on information they have provided us, which is almost always generalized information. What the insurance actually pays will be determined when they process the claim. The estimated patient portion is due and payable at the start of treatment and if the insurance pays less than estimated, we will bill the remainder to the patient or guarantor with the expectation that the full balance will be paid in full within 20 days.
Please note:
Sunrise Family Dentistry requires payment at the beginning of your treatment. If you choose to discontinue care before treatment is complete, you will receive a refund less the cost of care received.
A fee of $25 is charged for patients who miss or cancel without a 24-hour notice.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help you get the dentistry you want or need. Dental Materials Fact Sheet
