New Dental Patient Information – Minot, ND

Your First Visit

Your first visit at a new dental office is extremely important. It’s when your dentist has a chance to get a feel for the current state of your oral health so that they can start creating an appropriate treatment plan for you. You’ll be given some paperwork to fill out, and during your visit we’ll ask about any preexisting health issues or concerns you might have. And of course, your visit wouldn’t be complete without a thorough examination of your teeth and gums.

Dental Insurance

For many patients, the most stressful part of a dental appointment is when it’s time to pay. We want to make things as easy as possible for you so that you never have to worry about affording dental care. In addition to accepting most major credit cards, we’re willing to work with a wide variety of insurance plans. After your appointment, we’ll fill out the paperwork and file the necessary claims so that you can reap the insurance benefits that you’re entitled to.

Dental Financing

It is our goal here at Souris Valley Dental to provide you with excellent dental care through treatment plan options and financial arrangements that will meet your needs. We never want finances to stand in your way of premium dental care. Our staff will help you choose one or more of the options below to finance your dental treatment:

• We accept: Cash, Check, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
• We offer a courtesy adjustment to patients who pay for their treatment in full the day of service.
• We offer an in house benefit plan, see details of our "Souris Valley Perks" program below
• If you do not have a dental insurance policy, or your insurance benefits come to your home, you will be responsible for payment on the day of treatment. If you are not able to pay in full, or if your treatment requires several visits, you will be given an estimate and will be able to discuss payment arrangements with a member of our business office staff.
• CareCredit is available as a payment plan option. Please ask us for detailed information.

Souris Valley Perks Program

For patients who do not have insurance and are unsure if they want to apply for third party financing, we have yet another alternative: the Souris Valley Perks Program. The way it works as simple: you pay a small annual fee ($39 for an individual, $75 for a family), and in return you’ll enjoy a 15 percent discount on all services. And unlike insurance, you don’t have to worry about meeting a deductible or staying under an annual maximum. Click the link below for details.
