Insurance Options

We are IN-NETWORK with many major PPO insurance plans. Regardless of the plan, we believe that your children deserve to receive the type of treatment that our DOCTORS determine is best for your child, not what AN INSURANCE COMPANY thinks is best.

Insurance Plans

DENTAL INSURANCE COVERAGE:

At Luce Tooth, we are IN-NETWORK with select plans from many major insurance companies. We can file claims with ANY PPO DENTAL plan. The most useful benefit of a PPO plan is the ability to choose the doctor you WANT, whether they are in-network or not.

If a plan is out-of-network, that DOES NOT mean that you can’t see us or utilize your insurance benefits!

  • As long as you have a PPO Dental Plan we will file the claim for you, there is no additional work you need to do!
  • Most insurance companies will reimburse us directly.
  • Most plans in our area have GREAT out-of-network coverage, leaving little to no out-of-pocket coverage for routine dental exam and cleaning visits (just as if you went to an in-network dentist).

We have patients with plans from every major insurance carrier that pay 100% of cleaning and exam visits. The coverage level of a plan is determined by the individual employer. Here are some examples of employers that have a history of great coverage:

  • All Children’s Hospital – John’s Hopkins
  • Apogee Engineering
  • Argenix
  • Jabil
  • Pinellas County Board of Commissioners
  • Pinellas County Sherriff’s Office
  • TECO
  • Many, many more!

We offer discounts for Military, Teachers, and employees of Baycare.

NO DENTAL INSURANCE? NO PROBLEM!:

We offer membership plans for patients that either don’t have dental insurance, don’t have a plan with PPO coverage (such as HMO or DHMO plans), or have plans with high premium rates but low coverage.

Our membership plan covers two exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, most x-rays, and is valid for one full year. Patients get a discount on treatment, plus other benefits. No deductible, no waiting periods, and it’s priced to be very competitive with private insurance plans. Give our office a call and ask for more details including pricing (it works out to be a roughly 20-25% discount to paying for each appointment individually!).

Hear From Our Happy Families

I am SO happy we found this practice. It was so clean, organized and aesthetically pleasing. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by one of the dentists who was willing to answer any questions we had, even before my son got in the chair!
The whole staff was amazing, kind and kept me informed throughout the visit. I couldn’t recommend this practice more!

" For the first time in over eight years, we had an stress-free and sweat free dental visit! We came with our concerns and felt heard and validated! We are super excited and look forward to our next dental visit with a lot less anxiety and that is a huge win for us, both patient and parent! Sensory issues can be tricky, but we felt that our son was met at his level and compassion and care were at the forefront! Thank you Luce Tooth for outstanding patient care!"

"Such an amazing pediatric dentist office!! I brought my son in for his first ever dentist appointment and was a little nervous. This practice makes both child and parents feel so at ease and comfortable. The office is beautifully done and very clean. The dental hygienist (I forgot her name but so wonderful) and Dr. Scheps are amazing! Very happy with our choice to bring our son here."
