What to expect at your first visit

During your first visit, our objective is to get to know you better, to become familiar with your past dental experiences and to establish a treatment plan that will best meet your current desires.

Also, please assist us by providing the following information:

More Insurance Information

Here, we prioritize your convenience and peace of mind. We gladly accept most major insurance plans, and our dedicated staff is committed to billing your insurance plan.

The best way for you to know what your insurance will cover when seeing a provider is to reach out to your insurance company directly—either through your online patient portal or by calling their member services line. We recommend asking them if you will be able to take advantage of in-network benefits at our office. If Buffalo Dental Group is out-of-network for your specific plan, you can ask them what your insurance will contribute toward your services.

Please note: Buffalo Dental Group is not an enrolled provider for Medical Assistance programs

Regarding Medicare Plans: We are at capacity with Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare and are not taking new patients with this plan. We are out-of-network with Aetna Allina Medicare, United Health Care Medicare

Out-of-Network: Some insurance companies we are out-of-network with; GEHA, Guardian, Cigna Advantage PPO. If Buffalo Dental Group does not participate In-Network with your insurance, know that you can still come here. Although you will not be able to take full advantage of what your insurance would contribute when seeing an in-network provider, we will still gladly bill your insurance company so they can contribute their portion toward your care.
