Insurance-Independent Dentistry — What this means for you
Dr. Baldree’s Southside Dental Arts practices insurance-independent dentistry, a model that puts the focus on quality care and adequate time with patients rather than insurance network restrictions.
We are not contracted with PPO plans that limit how care is delivered. Instead, we are free to recommend the materials, techniques, and time needed to achieve the best long-term outcomes for our patients.
HOw Insurance Works Here
We are happy to help you use your benefits:
✔ We submit insurance claims on your behalf
✔ We accept assignment of benefits when available
✔ We help you understand your coverage and estimated portion
Because we are not restricted by insurance networks, your care is guided by clinical judgment rather than insurance fee schedules.
Why this Matters
Remaining insurance-independent allows us to:
Provide unhurried appointments
Focus on long-term solutions rather than short-term fixes
Choose treatment options based on quality and longevity
Our goal is to help you receive the care you need with clarity, transparency, and confidence.
Financial Options
We understand that dental care is an investment. Our team will review all costs with you in advance and discuss available payment options, including third-party financing when appropriate.
We offer Care Credit payment plans to qualified individuals who desire to finance the cost of their treatment for up to 60 months. We are also pleased to accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay.
If you have questions about your coverage or treatment estimates, we are always happy to help.
