Build a Treatment Plan Around Your Needs
The right dental treatment begins with a complete understanding of your smile. We evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and any areas that are damaged, missing, or causing discomfort.
Our prosthodontists use these findings to create a personalized plan that improves how your smile looks, feels, and functions while protecting your long-
Insurance & Payment Options
Dental insurance may help lower the cost of certain treatments, but coverage varies by plan. Our team will help you review your benefits, understand any limitations, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before moving forward.
- Dental procedures: Routine exams, cleanings, fillings, and X-rays are often covered as preventive or basic care. Your benefits may depend on deductibles, annual maximums, network requirements, and frequency restrictions.
- Restorative procedures: Care that repairs damaged teeth or replaces missing teeth may qualify for partial coverage. Depending on your plan, benefits may apply to crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, or portions of a full-mouth rehabilitation.
- Cosmetic procedures: Treatments performed mainly to improve appearance are usually not covered. Veneers, tooth reshaping, and cosmetic smile planning often fall into this category.
For costs not covered by insurance, Legacy Prosthodontics offers financing and payment options to help make treatment more manageable.
Choose A Care Plan Based on the Full Picture
Before creating your treatment plan, we closely examine every aspect of your smile, including tooth structure, bone support, bite alignment, previous restorations, and aesthetic concerns.
Our prosthodontists then compare the available procedures and determine which approach best fits your needs and goals. You will have time to review the benefits of each option, ask questions, and make an informed decision.

Your Dental Questions, Answered
Does insurance cover dental procedures?
Coverage depends on your insurance plan and the type of treatment you need. Most restorative procedures qualify for some level of coverage, while cosmetic treatments may not. We’ll review your benefits before treatment, so you know what to expect.
Do you offer same-day crowns?
Yes, with our in-house lab, we create dental crowns, so you can restore your smile in just one visit.
What is the difference between a prosthodontist and a dentist?
A prosthodontist restores and replaces teeth using implants, bridges, and other restoration techniques. A general dentist handles routine care and maintenance, while a prosthodontist focuses on restoring oral function and the aesthetics of your smile.
Do I need a referral to see a prosthodontist?
No, you can contact us directly, no referral required.
