Do You Take My Insurance?
We welcome patients with any insurance plan — or none at all. We are not currently in-network with most dental plans, but we will help you use any out-of-network benefits you have.
Hassle-Free Insurance Guidance
We make navigating your dental benefits straightforward and transparent, so you know exactly what to expect before treatment begins — whether or not your plan is one we participate in.
01 We Help You Use Your Out-of-Network Benefits
Before your appointment, we can help you understand what your plan may cover as an out-of-network benefit and what your estimated out-of-pocket cost will be. Although we are out of network, we file your claim with your insurer for you, so any reimbursement comes straight back to you. If you have dental insurance in Albemarle, NC, our team can walk you through it from the start.
02 What "Fee-for-Service" Means for You
Dogwood Family Dentistry is a fee-for-service practice. That means we are not locked into any insurance network's restrictions. The benefit for you: we can recommend treatment based on your needs, not a list of covered procedures. You get a clear estimate before we start, and our team is transparent about costs from the first conversation.
No Insurance? You Still Have Options
If you do not have dental insurance, you are not alone. Many patients choose to pay directly for their care, and we make that easy. Our fee-for-service model gives you honest pricing upfront, and our financing partners let you break down the cost into manageable payments. So even without a dental plan, you can get the high-quality care you need. As your no insurance dentist in Albemarle, we welcome you to our practice and will never turn you away because you lack coverage. Read what our patients say about their experience with us.

Are you in-network with any insurance plans?
