Insurance Coordination

Made Simple 

in Lakewood


Insurance Coordination Services

Dealing with dental insurance feels like solving a puzzle blindfolded. You're trying to figure out what's covered, what you'll owe, and why your claim got denied – all while you're already stressed about your dental health. As a dentist who's watched too many patients postpone needed care because of insurance confusion, I've built our Lakewood practice around making this process painless for you.


Your time is valuable, and you shouldn't spend hours on hold with insurance companies or deciphering benefit explanations that read like legal documents. That's exactly why we handle the heavy lifting of insurance coordination, so you can focus on what matters most – your oral health and overall wellbeing.

Maximize Your Dental Benefits

Insurance companies profit when benefits go unused. Don't let your hard-earned premiums disappear into their pockets. Our experienced team knows exactly how to present treatment plans that align with your policy's language, maximizing your coverage potential.

We start by conducting a thorough benefits verification before your first appointment. This means no surprise bills showing up weeks later, no awkward conversations about unexpected costs during treatment, and no delays in getting the care you need. We contact your insurance directly, speak their language, and get clear answers about your coverage limits, deductibles, and annual maximums.

Many patients don't realize they're leaving money on the table. For instance, if you have a $1,500 annual maximum that resets in January, waiting until next year means you've essentially thrown away this year's benefits. We help you strategically plan treatments to make the most of every dollar your insurance provides.


Personalized Financial Solutions

Insurance rarely covers everything, and that shouldn't stop you from getting quality care. Beyond insurance coordination, we offer flexible payment arrangements that fit real family budgets. Our membership plans provide predictable monthly costs for patients without insurance, while our financing options help spread larger treatments over manageable timeframes.

The American Dental Association emphasizes that patients should understand their benefits before treatment begins. We take this guidance seriously by providing detailed treatment estimates that clearly show your insurance portion versus your responsibility. No confusing medical codes or vague estimates – just clear, honest numbers you can count on.

When insurance approval takes longer than expected, we don't make you wait. For patients with good coverage history, we often provide treatment and handle the insurance process afterward, ensuring your dental health doesn't suffer due to administrative delays.

We look at your whole health.

Welcome to Balanced Dental Studio, located in Lakewood, Colorado. Our dental practice embraces a holistic approach, prioritizing the overall health of our patients. As functional dentists, we go beyond the surface and delve into the root causes of dental issues, ensuring durable solutions.

While maintaining good oral hygiene through practices like brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and regular cleanings is crucial, they may not always address the underlying reasons for problems such as tooth decay, misaligned teeth, and bad breath. These issues can often be traced back to airway obstructions, overcrowding in the mouth, and narrow dental arches resulting from habits like mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing.

By focusing on functional dentistry, we aim to identify and resolve the core sources of dental problems, thereby preventing future issues and enhancing your overall quality of life. Our mission is to help you and your loved ones regain the confidence to smile, breathe effortlessly, and enjoy improved well-being. We offer comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages, ranging from preventive cleanings to advanced procedures.
