Dental Team of Sumter

Appointments

We treat patients on an appointment basis to allow us the time to carefully prepare for each patient visit.

Office Hours

• Monday through Thursday, 7:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
• Fridays, 7:30 A.M. to 12 Noon.

Emergencies

If you have a dental emergency, please dial 803-435-0133. Serious dental emergencies are treated 24-hours a day.

Appointment Cancellations

For every patient appointment, much time and preparation is invested to ensure a quality visit. We realize that extenuating circumstances arise that might make appointment maintenance difficult at times; however, in order to better serve our patients, we kindly ask for notice of schedule changes at least 24 hours in advance. This will allow us to treat other patients in need especially those who are experiencing pain and discomfort. The Dental Team of Sumter reserves the right to charge $50 for broken appointments.

Financial Policy

In the effort to hold costs down, payment is due when services are rendered. We accept Visa and MasterCard for your payment convenience. For services exceeding $500, you may apply for a payment plan through Care Credit or American General. Payment plans must be arranged and approved in advance of your appointment.

Lab related services such as crown and bridge, partial and full dentures require 50% at the preparation date and 50% at the completion date. If you have insurance benefits on these services, you must pay _ of your portion at the start date and the remaining _ when the service is completed.

Insurance

We are a participating provider in United Concordia, SC State Dental Plus, Delta Dental Premier. We will file the insurance claim forms electronically to the carriers as a courtesy to our patients. The co-payment, deductible and amounts not covered by the insurance plan are due the day of service.

Infection Control

To assure your health and safety while you visit the office, the Dental Team of Sumter adheres to the latest guidelines published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We heat sterilize all of the patient care items, instruments and handpieces and use quality water that meets the safe drinking water standard for dental procedures.

X-Rays

Radiographs enable the clinicians to make an accurate diagnosis. If you have had bitewing x-rays taken within the last 12 months or a panorex within the last three years, please bring a copy of these radiographs with you. The Dental Team adheres to the As Low As Reasonably Achievable principle and precautions are in place to assure safe exposure for patients and staff. Radiation exposure for dental x-rays is extremely minimal, comparable to sunshine or an airline flight. For further details, please consult one of our team members.
