We Are In Network With

Out of Network? No Problem.

For out-of-network treatment over $500, we’ll automatically request a Pre-Treatment Estimate from your insurance company unless you’d prefer to move forward without one. You can also request a PTE for treatment of any amount.

Most estimates come back within 1–2 weeks and can give you a clearer picture of what your insurance may cover and what your estimated out-of-pocket cost may be. You don’t have to wait for the estimate to schedule or move forward with treatment — the choice is yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Pre-Treatment Estimate, and do I need one?

A Pre-Treatment Estimate, or PTE, is a courtesy we offer to help you understand how your insurance benefits may apply to recommended treatment and what your estimated out-of-pocket cost may be before you get started.

We automatically request a PTE for treatment over $500 unless you ask us not to, and we’re happy to request one for treatment of any amount if it would help you feel more comfortable moving forward.

Most PTEs are returned by insurance within 1–2 weeks. You can still schedule your treatment while we wait, and you can always choose to move forward without a PTE if you prefer.

Is a Pre-Treatment Estimate a guarantee of insurance coverage?

No. A PTE is an estimate based on the information available at that time, not a guarantee of payment. Your insurance company determines final benefits when your claim is processed.

We’ll help you understand the estimate so you can plan ahead as confidently as possible.

What does "Assignment of Benefits" mean?

Assignment of Benefits means we can submit your dental insurance claims on your behalf and have the insurance company’s covered payment sent directly to our office.

In other words, you don’t have to pay the full treatment cost “up front” and then handle submitting the claim to insurance yourself. We take care of that process for you, and you’re generally responsible for your estimated patient portion.

One less piece of insurance paperwork on your to-do list.

Will Graniteville Dental Solutions submit my insurance claims for me?

Yes. We accept Assignment of Benefits and submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf. Our team handles the claim submission and necessary supporting information, helping make the insurance process as easy as possible for you.

How do you help me maximize my dental insurance benefits?

We review your available benefits and, when appropriate, request a Pre-Treatment Estimate to better understand how your plan may contribute toward recommended care.

Insurance shouldn’t be the only factor in making healthcare decisions, but understanding the benefits you’ve already paid for can help you make more informed choices about your treatment and timing.

What if I don't have dental insurance?

No problem. Our Smart Smile Plan is designed for patients without dental insurance and offers preventive care plus savings on additional treatment for a predictable monthly cost. We also offer flexible payment options to help make treatment fit more comfortably into your budget.
