Your Visit
Prepare and Save Time
Schedule your first appointment for a date and time when you’ll be relaxed.
Complete the time-saving forms online here or you can download them here and fill them out before your visit. If you want to save even more time, call and give us your insurance information. We’ll have the necessary paperwork ready when you arrive.
Otherwise, bring the time-saving forms along with your dental insurance card if you have one. Meanwhile, we’ll be preparing for your visit. Our preparation begins the moment you contact the office.
We’ll ask a few questions to gather information, so we can have everything ready. That way, Dr. Trigueros can analyze and address your problems as quickly as possible.
Your Appointment
We schedule one patient per appointment, so you receive exclusive time with Dr. Trigueros.
We strive to run on time, so you won’t have to wait.
Normally, the only reason for a delay or change is a dental emergency. We trust you will arrive on time as well.
We understand you are busy and your time is valuable. That’s why we try to schedule appointments that are the most convenient for you. If your schedule changes, please call our office at least two business days in advance.
Missed appointments or repeated cancellations will incur cancellation fees.
What to Expect
While details may vary, a fairly standard routine is followed.
Your first visit should take an hour to an hour and a half. It depends on your needs. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our front office staff.
They’ll process your Time-Saving Forms and then show you to one of our private rooms. If you don’t have your save time forms complete, please arrive 20 minutes before your appointment, so we can help you complete them. Dr. Trigueros will listen to your needs and concerns and review the information you provided.
Your examination will begin after all your questions have been answered and you are comfortable with proceeding.
Comprehensive Treatment Plan
With the information gained from your exam and your discussions, you and Dr. Trigueros will develop a treatment plan together.
Occasionally, he may need some more time to study the exam results and test possible solutions on models of your jaw and teeth. These tests can help determine which procedures will produce the best outcome for you. In either case, Dr. Trigueros will provide you with a summary of his findings and recommendations as well as an estimate of the costs.
You’ll know how long the treatment will take and how much it will cost before you take the next step.
Financial Options
Flexible payments options for your peace of mind.
Dr. Trigueros makes implants and cosmetic dental care affordable with a variety of payment options tailored to meet your needs.
As part of our commitment to providing quality, affordable cosmetic dental care, our staff will work with you to make the payment arrangements you prefer.
We accept the following forms of payment:
- Dental Insurance (most dental PPO insurances)
- Cash, Check, Credit or Debit cards
- Financing
Other Payment Options
If you don’t have insurance, you will be expected to set up a payment plan or pay in full with cash, check, or credit card on the day of your visit.
We accept most major credit cards such as VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
Dental Insurance
Many dental-insurance providers cover cosmetic, restorative or orthodontic treatments.
If your dental plan is one of them, talk to your insurance provider to determine the extent of your coverage. Dental insurance can make the cost of you procedures more manageable by paying a portion or all of the fees associated with your treatment. If you’re enrolled in a dental insurance plan, our staff will help you understand and maximize the benefits your insurance provides.
We accept a wide variety of insurance plans. If you have dental insurance, we accept assignment of benefits. This means you must sign the portion of your insurance that directs payment to our office. Because of the delays in receiving payment from insurance companies, you will be asked to pay your deductible and your portion of charges on the day of your visit.
Please be aware that only after a claim is submitted, reviewed and paid by your insurance company, can we determine if you are responsible for an additional payment.
As a courtesy, we file your claim forms electronically and track them for you.
PPO
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plans
PPO insurance will pay for the cost of treatment (minus any co-payments and deductibles you’re required to make) as long as Dr. Trigueros is one of the PPO network’s preferred providers. Check with your PPO or call our office (305) 221-1902 or e-mail us at: contact@triguerosdental.com
