As a client of Yogi Dental Center, you are eligible for our easy financial and insurance arrangements Yogi Dental Center offers you a variety of financial options available to help make it easy to afford your dental needs.

We participate in most insurance companies. If we are not participating providers, you and your insurance company have an agreement that does not involve our office. We will provide you with the best-advised procedure to care for you, not based on your insurance coverage, but based on your own personal dental needs. Insurance companies dont base your benefits on what you need; they base it on what payout they can profitably provide based on how much your employer has paid them.

If your insurance company rejects a claim and refuses to pay for a service, it is not a reflection of how important the service is. It is based on a master contract drawn up between your employer and the insurance company.

If your insurance company refuses to pay or pays less than you think it should, you must remember that dental insurance is designed to offset the cost of your dental treatment. It is unusual for all of the charges to be paid by insurance.

We want you to know that a core belief of our practice is to provide you with the best possible value in dental treatment. This means we avoid patchwork treatment that would soon need to be redone. We used the finest possible materials and techniques to provide you with the greatest possible longevity. We want you to have the peace of mind that your treatment has been well done.
