And we do so in a relaxing, stress-free, spa-like environment.

At Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics, we work with all PPO plans. Since we are a fee-for service office, we are technically out-of-network. But our fees are competitive enough that insurance plans pay patients back a significant part of the treatment, and in some cases, all of it (once deductibles have been met). Patients pay for treatments at the time of service and then get reimbursed directly to their home by the insurance company. At our office, we will take your insurance information, conduct a complimentary insurance benefits check, and  file your claim electronically so you get reimbursed just days after the treatment.
