Our Mission
At Santa Clarita Orthodontics, our orthodontic team is committed to creating beautiful, healthy smiles that last a lifetime. We enthusiastically and continuously motivate and educate our patients about quality orthodontics and dental care, while maintaining a warm, friendly and caring environment. We strive for recognition as the finest quality patient-centered orthodontic practice in our community. Welcome to our office!

Appointments
Your scheduled appointment time has been reserved specifically for you. We request 24-hours notice if you need to cancel your appointment. We are aware that unforeseen events sometimes require missing an appointment. After missing your second appointment without notifying us 24 hours in advance, you are subject to being charged an additional fee.

Insurance
Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. After 60 days, you are responsible for the entire balance, paid-in-full. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.

Financial/Insurace Info

It is our mission to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! We offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. Our office accepts payments by cash, checks, and Visa and MasterCard credit cards. We also offer low- and no-interest financing options, both through our office as well as through the Fee Plan systems of Capital One and Care Credit. Even better, we offer discounts for treatment paid in full in advance, and for multiple family members undergoing treatment at the same time. If you have any questions about financing or payment, ask us! We will thoroughly explain your choices and work hard to accommodate your needs.

Insurance

We are a premier provider for Delta Dental, and are considered in-network for Cigna, Blue Cross and MetLife PPO plans. If your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, you will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs. Many insurance policies have a lifetime orthodontic benefit that is distinct from regular dental insurance. Remember that insurance policies vary, and we will review your insurance to determine the appropriate course of action. Once treatment has started, we will file your claims.

To help us with your insurance filing, please complete the insurance questions on our questionnaire.

Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your child. If, during the course of treatment, your benefits change, the financially responsible party is accountable for all charges.
