Dental Insurance vs. Fee-for-Service in Santa Fe

Care Based Solely on Your Needs

Choosing how to pay for dental care can be confusing. At VIDA Dental Studio, we believe your smile shouldn’t be limited by complicated insurance rules or hidden restrictions. That’s why we operate as a “fee-for-service” practice. With us, your treatment is guided by what’s best for you, period.

What Does Fee-for-Service Mean?

Fee-for-service simply means that instead of relying on dental insurance to decide what’s covered, you pay directly for the care you receive, then file for reimbursement from your insurance company. Think of it as choosing what you want from a menu, with no restrictions on what you can decide.

If you have insurance, we’ll be happy to help submit claims for whatever reimbursement your plan provides, based on the care you choose to receive.

With our fee-for-service model, you can expect:

Freedom to choose the treatments that truly fit your goals
Upfront pricing with direct payment to us, and no surprise denials
High-quality materials, technology, and time devoted to your smile
Reimbursement from your insurance company based on your coverage
Third-party financing and a membership program to make care accessible

Why Many Patients Prefer Fee-for-Service

Many patients feel this approach gives them more control over their care. Instead of being limited by annual maximums or exclusions, your care can be as comprehensive as you need it to be.

Patients appreciate:

Dentistry focused on long-term results, not quick fixes
Flexible options for advanced and cosmetic treatments
A relationship built on trust between you and your dentist

What to Expect at VIDA Dental Studio

It’s simple. When you come in, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and review costs with you before any work begins.

If you have insurance, our team can file claims on your behalf so you can receive reimbursement from your provider after treatment.

Affordability and Savings Options

Even without insurance, dental care can be manageable and accessible.
