Create a Personalized Plan for Your Smile
Choosing the right treatment starts with understanding the full picture. We look at your oral health, bite, tooth structure, missing or damaged teeth, and the changes you would like to make.
Because Legacy Prosthodontics specializes in restoring both function and appearance, we can build a plan that addresses your immediate concerns while supporting the long-term health of your smile.
Understanding Dental Insurance and Financing
Insurance can reduce the cost of some dental treatments, but every policy has its own definitions, exclusions, and benefit limits. We will help you review your options and understand the estimated cost of your care before you make a decision.
- Dental procedures: Exams, cleanings, fillings, and X-rays are frequently covered as preventive or basic services. How much the plan pays depends on your deductible, yearly maximum, network terms, and frequency guidelines.
- Restorative procedures: Treatments used to save damaged teeth or replace missing ones may receive partial benefits. Coverage can apply to crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, or parts of a full-mouth rehabilitation plan when deemed necessary.
- Cosmetic procedures: Smile enhancements that are not required for health or function are generally excluded from dental benefits. These may include veneers, reshaping, and cosmetic treatment planning.
When insurance does not cover the full cost, Legacy Prosthodontics offers financing and payment solutions designed to make care more accessible.
How Our Prosthodontists Personalize Your Care
Before recommending treatment, our prosthodontists carefully examine the health, strength, and appearance of your smile. We also consider previous dental work, jawbone support, bite alignment, and the results you hope to achieve.
From there, we determine which procedures can provide the right balance of durability, function, and aesthetics. You will have the opportunity to review each option, understand its advantages, and make an informed decision about your care.

Real Answers to Your Dental Questions
Are cosmetic and restorative dental procedures covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your insurance plan and the type of procedure you need. Restorative treatments are usually partially covered, while cosmetic procedures may not be. We’ll review your benefits and explain your coverage and payment options before starting treatment.
Do you offer same-day crowns or implants?
Yes, we offer same-day crowns and implant services using our on-site lab. This allows us to design, craft, and place your restoration with minimal wait time.
What is the difference between a prosthodontist and a dentist?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who restores and replaces teeth, handling complex cases involving implants, crowns, and full-mouth reconstruction. While general dentists handle cleanings and other routine care, prosthodontists restore the function and appearance of your smile.
Do I need a referral to see a prosthodontist?
No, you don’t need a referral to schedule an appointment with our team. You can contact us directly to book a consultation and discuss your treatment goals.
What should I expect at my first visit with Legacy Prosthodontics?
