Here at Dr. Croppo's office we bill your insurance company directly. Direct Billing means that once your treatment is completed we will electronically submit your claim to your insurance company for you and have them pay us directly. The only time you will be required to pay us is if the procedure is not covered by your plan and/or if your insurance does not pay 100% then you would pay the difference. Example: Your plan covers 80% you would only pay us the 20%.

We encourage you to review your dental coverage before you first appointment and feel free to bring the information with you and we would be happy to review it with you.

We do accept payment plans at our office, please speak with one of our knowledgeable administration staff and they can tell you what plans we have to offer.

We also accept visa, master card, American express.

The Canadian dental association recommends you take your child to the dentist after their first birthday.
