Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take my dental insurance?

At Degenhardt Dental, we understand that dental insurance is an important consideration for many of our patients. We are proud to be in-network providers with Delta Dental, one of the largest and most widely recognized dental insurance companies.

If you have Delta Dental insurance, we can directly bill your insurance provider, making the process smoother and more convenient for you. However, it's important to note that dental insurance plans can vary widely, even within the same insurance company. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify your specific coverage and benefits.

For patients with other insurance plans, we are happy to submit claims on your behalf as an out-of-network provider. Many insurance plans offer partial coverage for out-of-network services, but again, it's best to check with your provider for details.

Our friendly and knowledgeable team is also happy to answer questions and help you navigate your insurance benefits if you contact our Troy dental office at (248) 643-6551.

Learn More about Our In-House Dental Membership Plan

If you don't have dental insurance, don't worry! We offer an in-house membership plan designed to make quality dental care accessible and affordable. This plan provides coverage for preventive care and even savings on specific restorative procedures, helping you maintain your oral health without the need for traditional insurance.

Our friendly staff is always available to discuss your insurance options or our membership plan. We're committed to helping you maximize your benefits and receive the care you need.

Do you treat children?

At our Troy dental office, we're committed to providing dental care for your entire family, including children. We welcome young patients and strive to make their dental experiences positive and comfortable!

We typically begin seeing children when they can comfortably sit in the dental chair, which is usually around age two or three. However, if parents have concerns about their child's oral health, we're happy to see children as young as one-year-old.

Why Early Dental Care Is Important for Children

Early dental visits are crucial for several reasons:

Prevention — Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your child's oral development and catch potential issues early.
Education — We teach children proper brushing and flossing techniques, setting the foundation for lifelong good oral hygiene habits.
Familiarity — Early visits help children become comfortable with the dental office environment, reducing anxiety in future appointments.
Oral Health Awareness — We educate parents on proper care for their child's teeth, including diet recommendations and cavity prevention strategies.
Early Intervention — We can address issues like tooth decay or misalignment in their early stages, potentially avoiding more extensive treatment later.

Our team is experienced in working with children and uses age-appropriate language to explain procedures and make dental visits fun and educational. We focus on creating a welcoming, child-friendly atmosphere to ensure your little ones feel at ease.

Contact Our Troy Family Dental Office

Remember, establishing good oral health habits early can lead to a lifetime of healthy smiles. If you have questions about your child's dental health or want to schedule an appointment, we're here to help. Call us at (248) 643-6551 to take the first step in your child's journey to excellent oral health.
