I have been going to Dently dental for a couple years now and had a great experience. They’ve always been transparent about the cost and the quality of service was great.
However most recently (Nov) I visited for a regular cleaning and was told there was nothing to pay at the front desk (as usual, cleaning is covered by my insurance). A week later I got a $700+ charge in the mail; it turns out my provider had gone out of network and they did not tell me of this change before they hit me retroactively with this out of pocket charge.
Edited for updates —
Dently reached out to let me know that this claim was due to an administrative error; my provider’s in-network status was not processed fully by the time of my visit. They clarified that I would not owe the amount that my insurance claim stated and that my visit would still be 100% covered as per my regular plan. I really appreciate this correction and their flexibility around accommodating insurance/network related mishaps. I’ve been happy about the quality of their service for the last two years so I was pretty confused and upset by the hefty retroactive charge for my preventative cleaning; I’m glad it was a misunderstanding/unintentional miscommunication and that I can continue to go to Dently in the future knowing these types of issues will be resolved easily

Hi Yury, thank you so much for sharing this — I’m really sorry for the frustration this caused. It looks like your insurance processed the claim incorrectly because the doctor wasn’t fully updated in their system. We’ll be adjusting everything on our end so you owe nothing for this visit.
We appreciate you letting us know, and we’re here to make sure it’s fully resolved for you. Thank you for your patience and for being a valued patient.
