Allegany Dental Care has been providing Family Dental Care for Washington County MD and the surrounding areas for over 30 years. Our Doctors and Staff are committed to providing Quality Dentistry for our family of patients.

We stress Preventive Dental Care and the positive benefits of maintaining good dental health for a lifetime.

While our Practice consists of six Dentists, our patients have their choice of provider, and are seen by that same Dentist on a regular basis.

Dental cleanings are done by one of our Registered Dental Hygienists, under the doctor's supervision.

Orthodontic treatment (braces) for both children and adults is offered in our Virginia Avenue office by our experienced Orthodontic Specialist, Dr. Paul Frazier, as part of our firm commitment to total family care.

Patients are seen by appointment only to allow the proper amount of time to treat each individual.

We require a 24 hour notice if an appointed time must be changed, since time has been reserved specifically for your treatment.

We recommend that all of our patients visit the office for a dental cleaning and exam at least each six months.

Emergencies
Any patient of record with an emergency during office hours will be able to see a doctor the same day.

For an emergency after hours, call the office number, and the answering service will contact the doctor on call.

Fees and Insurance
Our patients deserve and receive high quality dental care. We strive to keep our fees reasonable, while maintaining our standard of excellence in staff, training, materials, facilities, and service to our patients.

Payment is expected at the time of the visit, unless specific arrangements have been made.

Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express are accepted, in addition to cash and personal checks.

For General Dentistry patients with dental insurance, payment in full is expected at the first visit. At subsequent visits, our office will gladly file your insurance form for you, accept payments on your behalf, and provide your insurance company with all the information necessary for payment. However, we cannot be responsible for your insurance company's action on your claim.

New Orthodontic patients receive a complimentary initial examination and consultation. Diagnostic Records, Treatment Plans and Financial Arrangements are then completed prior to beginning Orthodontic Treatment. Patients with insurance should present their insurance card at the initial visit. We recommend that patients call their insurance company directly to verify Orthodontic benefits. Our office does not generally accept direct payment form Insurance Companies for Orthodontics, but we will assist you in obtaining your Orthodontic benefits.

If your insurance plan is an HMO, a PPO, or pays different benefits for "in-network" and "out-of-network" dentists, it is your responsibility to verify whether or not our office is part of your network. Most insurance cards list a toll-free number to call to locate providers in your area.

All fees for any restorative treatment will be discussed with you in advance.

New Patients
New patients are presently being accepted. We welcome your friends and relatives, and appreciate referrals.

Your first visit is normally a consultation with the doctor to determine your individual needs and to answer any questions you may have. Diagnostic x-rays may be taken at this visit, and if you have requested it, the hygienist may also clean your teeth.
