“Knowledge, and compationate”
Dr. Hess, listens and cares about what you share and provides clear treatment options. He is very attentive and understanding and most of all doesn't jump to conclusions without consulting with you first.

Accepted Insurance
Insurance can be quite confusing sometimes. We believe it is important that all patients not only utilize their insurance benefits, but understand what they are entitled to. As a courtesy, we will gladly do a complimentary benefits check for any patient that visits our office, before they see a doctor or have any services rendered. We employ insurance specialist and financial advisors that are highly trained in all aspects of dental insurance, claims, and benefits. We work directly with patients insurance companies when possible to help ensure you receive all benefits that you are entitled too. Also due to the amount of time and effort put into checking your insurance benefits and eligibility, we are able to estimate what your co-insurance, if any, will be, before your work is completed.
