Cost of Treatment
Accurate costs require an initial evaluation exam.
- Providers create personalized treatment plans during exams
Providers outline approximate costs upfront
Exam costs vary by clinic
Because each patient’s dental needs are unique, we are unable to provide an accurate cost estimate for treatment until a patient is evaluated through an initial exam by one of our clinical faculty, residents or dental students. During the initial exam, our providers will discuss treatment recommendations and outline approximate costs in a treatment plan. This process allows patients to be fully informed of their options and aids in financial planning.
The cost of the initial exam varies by clinic and more information can be provided at the time of scheduling. Payment is due at the time of service.

If you have other dental insurance coverage, our Business Office can assist in filing these claims as a courtesy; however, payment for treatment will be required at the time of service.
Out-of-Network Insurance
Patients who maintain dental insurance with companies other than Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama and MetLife group plans, ALL Kids BCBSAL, Viva Medicare, and Medicaid and Medicare will be required to pay the entire amount of their bill at the time of service. UAB Dentistry will file a courtesy claim to the patient’s insurance company for possible reimbursement to the patient.
