Why should I visit Gendler Dental Center if you do not accept my assistance benefits?
While we are not contracted with Medicaid, Ucare, Medical Assistance (MA), or other state/county assistance programs, we are often a better choice for those patients based on current needs and priority.
Emergency? For patients experiencing pain, discomfort, a broken or cracked tooth, needing filling/crown or denture repairs, etc. We can see patients same and next day! Patients do not have to wait weeks or months just to be seen by a clinic that accepts their plan.
Location! Similar to timeline needs of emergency dental patients, general dentistry and emergency patients can get all needs met at our convenient downtown Hopkins, MN location. Our on-site lab make same/next day crown, bridge, and dentures convenient. No more driving hours to different clinics all over Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Care? Assistance programs cover preventative care mainly. Very few provide benefits towards minor restorations like fillings, extractions, or dentures. This usually means if there is an issue, patients will often need additional appointments at other clinic locations. Wait time in between appointments, coverage and costs are rarely ever coordinated between the original clinic and the additional providers. This can leave patients waiting for even years to resolve dental issues.
Scheduling. Unlike contracted clinics that put patients on a wait list/walk-in basis, we reserve time for you specifically so we know when you will be seen, by what providers, and when you should be ready to go.
Affordable Costs. Many patients, even those with assistance plans choose to participate in one of our convenient savings plans. The savings plans cost less than the average annual premiums for sponsored coverage and provide more benefits.
Gendler Dental Center often has promotions available to new patients. The current promotions can always be found here: Dental Office Visit Promotions
We understand that having “fully covered dental” sounds great and many do not want to spend beyond what is included. To resolve an emergency dental need quickly, to not wait months to be seen for a routine cleaning, to not spend hours driving across the state or waiting to be seen, to receive friendly professional care, Gendler Dental Center is a preferred office!
