We’re Back!

Friday May 29th, 2020

We’re baaaack! Whoo Hoo!

The carpets are clean our filters are changed some new barriers are up and our attitudes are 100% ready to go back to work!

Welcome!

My name is Dr. Alan Mead, and for over 20 years my staff and I have provided patients with a different, fun, experience at our dentist office in Saginaw, MI.

IT’S WHAT WE DO

COSMETIC DENTISTRY * WHITENING * FILLINGS * CROWNS

* ROOT CANALS * BRIDGES *  PARTIALS * IMPLANT RESTORATIONS 

* BITE GUARDS * EXTRACTIONS * CLEANINGS * PERIO MAINTENANCE  * EXAMS * X-RAYS * CONSULTS

Our Primary goal is to provide everyone with remarkable dental care in the very best dental office setting imaginable.

Don’t let the laid back and comfortable atmosphere fool you though, this office is serious about your dental health!

Ready? Let’s do this!

If you haven’t already given us your information, bring your dental insurance card with you. If you have Delta Dental you may not have a card but…most Delta Dental plans provide a website we can access to get a real time status of your benefits. Most other insurance companies do not. 

Inform us of any dental visits you’ve had within the last 12 months. Include treatment from oral surgeons, specialists, out of town emergencies, or any other treatment that would have been charged to your dental insurance. Your remaining insurance benefits are what we use to calculate the estimates.

If you require an estimate, as to the out of pocket cost for your first visit, please allow an estimated 2 weeks to receive the information back from your dental insurance provider.

All intake forms and necessary information needed for your first visit is located on our “Forms” page. 

Once your appointment is scheduled you will receive a text.

If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, a 48-hour notice by text, email, answering machine or call is required to avoid a $50.00 missed appointment fee. 

IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!..and us 

 We want you to be comfortable and presented with all information needed to understand and improve your dental health and making your smile everything you have wished for. When your teeth are healthy and looking spectacular… you’ll be happy and we’ll be happy. 

Win, Win!

Seldom does “I’ll just wait until it hurts” work with dental concerns. If you’ve put off coming in, we will not judge or overwhelm you with hard to understand dental lingo.

We will, however, present you with a treatment plan that is explained, and deemed necessary, by Dr. Mead. You also have the choice of seeing what Dr. Mead sees with an overhead view of your exam in progress! After that, it’s up to you how we proceed.

Ready to schedule that first appointment?

GREAT!  Contact our office and we’ll take it from there.

Insurance

Dental insurance is confusing. In network, out of network, 100% means 80%, fee schedules, waiting periods, predeterminations, deductibles, blah, blah, blah.

Bottom line: you want to know how much will it cost out of your pocket!

We can do that.

Mead Family Dental participates, and is “in network”, with Delta Dental insurance as a Premier participating provider.
(excluding: Delta Dental Healthy Michigan and Healthy Kids)

If your dental insurance plan accepts claims from “out of network” providers,
we will be happy to submit your dental claims for you.

Mead Family Dental is considered “out of network” with the exception
of Delta Dental Premier plans.

The following insurance plans do not accept dental claims from
“out of network” providers:

Delta Dental Healthy Michigan
Delta Dental Healthy Kids
Medicaid
Meridian
Molina

  
Check if your dental insurance plan accepts claims from “out of network” providers.

SURPRISE!
You owe more than expected!
Not good, right?

To avoid an unwanted surprise, be sure to ask that a pre-determination of treatments be sent to your dental insurance company.

Note: Dental predeterminations are an estimate of benefits not a guarantee of payment. Check in with our office,

before your appointment, to confirm an approved estimation of benefits has been received. If it becomes necessary to unexpectedly change treatment during your procedure, Dr. Mead will inform you before proceeding.

We will do our best to provide you with a new estimate.

Note: We will submit dental claims, on your behalf, but you are responsible for all unpaid balances.

No dental insurance? No problem. Check out our Gold Club section.

“GOLD CLUB”
