Cedar Lakes Dental Care

Experiencia positiva: It was ok. Staff was friendly. It used to be more personal. No one asked about my Invisalign retainers and a need for cleaning or replacement. Check by the doctor seemed impersonal and too quick.

Experiencia fantástica: Cedar Lakes Dental Care was able to help me with my dental needs. I am so thankful for their kindness and professionalism!

Experiencia fantástica: The hospitality was awesome. Thank you all so much for putting my fear at ease.

Experiencia fantástica: I felt very comfortable with the staff they game a warm fuzzy, welcoming feeling (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️); However, I did not feel that way from Dr. S. Gerges I felt she was very stand-off which made me feel like that was not the place for me!

Experiencia fantástica: They are always professional and take care of my family. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Always friendly and professional staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Customer service was outstanding – Dr. Burton skillfully did an extraction with zero pain or discomfort. Healing is going great. Can’t express how happy I was with the service. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: What a great experience ? The girl that cleaned my teeth (Zer) was very gentle and so much better than my previous experience .. the office staff very pleasant… my daughter is going to make an appt there soon !! I was so relieved that I found an office that I can trust .z thank you all !! Carol Lee

Experiencia fantástica: I had an amazing experience here. The front desk was friendly and helpful, the hygienist was thorough but not rough with my cleaning, and the doctor was insightful at the end! I will definitely be coming back, 500 stars!

Experiencia fantástica: I was very happy with what I was told, and the price

Experiencia negativa: Wish I could give zero stars. I had taken my family member here thy cancelled the appointment 2 days in a row the morning of each day. Said the dentist had a family emergency one day and the next day he was still out. My family member had to miss 2 days of work due to this inconvenience. The dentist couldn’t even finish the filling when my family member was in the back. Then they get a bill for even more money after they paid that day. Totally unprofessional.

Experiencia fantástica: First time patient and I was very pleased with the doctors and the staff.

Experiencia fantástica: The dentist was an older man who clearly took his knowledge past only the dental field. He asked questions about my other issues and informed e how some of them might connect. Not only did I feel he took time to understand my situation to the fullest. He took care of my mouth with precision and care! Made sure I wasn’t in any pain, and not once made me feel bad for needing the services in the first place. He was honest and told me how to do better. The assistant was as joyful as the receptionists. Not one negative energy in the building. They all made sure I left better than I came and that I left with no questions unanswered. I come from a family terrified of dentists… I can say that I never thought I’d be excited for the dentist, but every session I’ve had there I knew I was in the best of hands. 100/10

Experiencia fantástica: I felt very comfortable there. Everyone were very helpful and nice. I'm in a wheelchair and she was very patient helpful and kind to me.

Experiencia fantástica: Jennifer, Dr. Sylvia, and Josephina, Thank you so much for your professionalism and kindness. Your attention to detail and kind demeanor make every visit smooth and welcoming. You take such great care of me and my family.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was amazing! They made me feel welcome and they made sure to ensure that I had zero anxiety. I highly recommend Cedar Lakes Dental.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had nothing but the best experiences at Cedar Lakes Dental Care. The staff is friendly and professional. Wait time is less than 15 minutes. I highly recommend this place for all of your dental needs

Experiencia fantástica: They did a great job. My daughter was very nervous and they walked her through the entire thing. My daughter said it was a 10 out of 10. They were very friendly.

Experiencia negativa: There was nothing ...worst dental visit ever. No one seemed to know how to do an X-ray without damaging the gum in my mouth. I told them I couldn't close my mouth without it digging into my gum and cutting into the flesh. Meant nothing. I have an abscess it's making me sick and I show up with an appointment and it needs to be drained- oops too booked to have it done. No meds, no advice, just see ya later! I have insurance and I have a fresh credit card. Nothing. So, I'm still waiting to have this taken care of. I'm afraid they will hurt me more. I'm afraid to trust them. I think I'm cancelling my next appointment. They seemed a little too nonchalant for me.

Experiencia fantástica: I felt very welcomed. The administrative staff, the technician, and dentist were very friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience. They make you feel comfortable and meet your needs- As well as explain everything in great detail. Super friendly.

Experiencia positiva: This visit was actually ho-hum and my whole family had cleaning appointment's. I left without all my teeth feeling slick (most, but not all), not sure all my teeth were flossed or not, but definitely not my bridge, doc didn’t really say much, hummed a lot, but other than “looks good” he was gone before I could ask any questions. Lastly, my wife and kids came out with their toothbrush swag bag except for me. Just wasn’t impressed with this visit, had no desire go back for correction, and undecided if I’ll return for another visit.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a very positive dental visit. The staff were very professional, kniwledgeable, and provided a calming environment.

Experiencia fantástica: An excellent Dental Office. The entire staff is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. My experience with Sheilladee(Hygienist) is always an outstanding experience, and pleasurable. Also, special kudos to Mattie for assisting Sheilladee.

Experiencia fantástica: Courteous and care; delicately handled with finesse and attention to the finest details. It’s like orchestrating a symphony. Love it. Thank you very much for this experience.

Experiencia positiva: Love the convenience and service from this facility. The bedside manner was lacking. After receiving world class service from the hygienist and reception staff the dentist strolled in without a simple hello. No conversation at all. Did his business and rolled out. I’m a a senior hospital administrator and know the medical and dental professions. Sad experience… Otherwise, this facility is top notch!!!

Experiencia fantástica: My dental hygienist was very thorough, friendly and informative. Would highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: All of the staffs were extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Dental hygienist was very gentle and thorough,she did a great job

Experiencia fantástica: Professional and SO fast! The office is clean, everyone is polite as well

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional staff and they made the process seamless and easy! Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Great friendly service and team.

Experiencia positiva: I’m hesitant to put a four star, but the staff was great the hygienist and everyone from the front desk to all the technicians were amazing. But I didn’t appreciate a political conversation going on while my mouth was open by the dentist to the hygienist at the end of my visit. To say it left a bad taste in my mouth is putting it lightly. I would expect a dentist to keep it professional.

Experiencia fantástica: I was a first time patient and was highly impressed with the technology, friendliness, and experience. Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do but they made it completely comfortable.

Experiencia negativa: I was told I had a small spot in between my teeth that would form into a cavity if not treated. Cedar Lakes Dental verified with my insurance provider and informed me of my charges, which I paid prior to leaving. Two months later I receive a bill for additional charges without an explanation. The receptionist left me hold for 12 minutes after leaving two voicemails for explanation. She said as a result of an audit, I owe more. Jenn, the office manager was of no help and unwilling to adjust the charge. Poor customer service all the way around. I wonder how many other customers receive bills after paying on date of service?

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent dentist office! I used another local dentist for years and was never fully satisfied, but switched to Cedar Lakes this year and am now very happy. The office is immaculately clean, the front desk is prompt, organized, and responsive to inquiries, and all of my appointments have run on time. My hygienists were courteous and each did a thorough cleaning. My most recent visit did not necessitate seeing the dentist personally, but I was offered the opportunity to speak with one if I wished. On my previous visit, I did interact with one of the dentists and felt that she was very professional, thorough, and attentive to my questions. I am very satisfied and highly recommend this dental practice.

Experiencia negativa: The office staff and hygienists were great. I had to wait more than 30 minutes for the dentist to come in. The wait wasn't an issue. I fully understand he was in a procedure, however he could have acknowledged my long wait. After a brief comment on the music the only words he said tome were "open please". He spoke with the hygiene assistant but never another word to me. After a 30 minute wait he was there maybe 3. I was told by the assistant I had multiple cavities. When I asked about them I was told it was a question for the dentist who by now was long gone. When I was given my treatment plan I was asked if the DENTIST had discussed the issues with me. He did NOT. I was shown X-rays by the hygiene assistant I had been told were initially AI interpreted. I have had one minor cavity - and it took nearly 50 years to get it. How In 6 months do I suddenly have four more with no symptoms no signs? I plan to get a second opinion and other options (I have reversed pre cavities previously) before going forward with the treatment plan offered. .

Experiencia fantástica: These guys are the best! My favorite dentist ever.

Experiencia fantástica: Service is always nice and professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Always a great and smooth experience, from making/rescheduling appts, each appt has been great and no one likes the dentist but they make it as smooth as possible and the 2 people I’ve had for cleanings or procedures have been gentle and light handed

Experiencia fantástica: Very happy with dental services here. Friendly staff, professional dental services across the board. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: I’m absolutely terrified of the dentist and they made me feel right at home.

Experiencia negativa: I want to share my experience with Cedar Lake Dentist Care so others can make informed decisions. While the office is clean and the staff is generally polite, there are some important concerns to be aware of. First, patients are often encouraged to receive x-rays even when insurance coverage has not yet approved or updated. This can lead to unexpected out-of-pocket costs, and in some cases, a bill arriving in the mail later on. I recommend that anyone visiting this office double-check their insurance coverage beforehand and ask for cost estimates in writing to avoid surprises. Second, communication with the office can be challenging. Getting in touch for a return call or follow-up question tends to take a long time, and responses are not always timely. This can be frustrating, especially when dealing with billing or treatment concerns. Overall, while the dental care itself may be adequate, I suggest future patients proceed with caution, confirm insurance details thoroughly before accepting additional services, and be prepared for slower communication from the office. **** If this has happened to you, please reach out to me. ****** Thank you ~

Experiencia fantástica: Easy appointment, in and out, staff is very cordial and the Dentist made me feel like he cared about my mouth and this is just from the first visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Hygienist was nice and thorough. Office is lovely and Dentist was very nice and made me feel comfortable. Will definitely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Sheilladee was amazing. I felt very comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: went to Cedar Lake Dental care in Chesapeake yesterday for X-rays, a scan, and a deep cleaning. The whole process was quick, smooth, and surprisingly painless. The staff was professional and made me feel very comfortable throughout the visit. I’m really happy with the treatment I received and highly recommend this office!

Experiencia fantástica: I went in for a cleaning, and my hygienist was amazing. She made recommendations, answered all of my questions, and most importantly, made me feel at ease. A true professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent care. I’m impressed. Dr Burton is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: I have always had a fear of the dentist. Rooted from childhood traumas and not easily overcome when only exposed to the dentist a couple times a year. The fear drove me to try different dentists from all over Hampton roads. A different one every time. It just never felt right or comfortable. I’ve settled into Cedar Lakes. One visit and they have me feeling empowered to take control of that fear and are incredibly responsive. I will not be going anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly professional staff, able to quick appt for dental issue. Very satisfied with services provided with quick resolution to dental issue

Experiencia fantástica: Been going here for years best dental staff I've encountered and they truly make sure you are in no pain during procedures.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was very informative with each step. My dental hiegentist was wonderful

Experiencia negativa: I started coming here a few years ago and really liked the staff. All the folks working in the front office area are amazing. They are great at communicating and very welcoming. Unfortunately, about a year ago they changed dentists and hygienists and now I would not recommend coming here. Especially if you have any dental anxiety. The lady I saw was not a warm person and was even worse with kids. I know there's another dentist and I haven't met him so I can't speak on his work.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff there was great! The hygienist was helpful and wonderful! She did a fabulous job. Already have my next cleaning booked

Experiencia fantástica: The staff were very nice and attentive despite how busy they were, and Dr. Gerges was quick and no-nonsense in her prognosis.

Experiencia fantástica: My whole family goes to Cedar lakes Dental. I’ve had a great experience with the doctor and her team with each visit. They made sure I was comfortable with the service and answered any questions I had.

Experiencia negativa: Came in for an emergency visit for extreme pain in my tooth. Given a rx for antibiotics and still left in pain. Was told to use tylenol and motrin, which I had been for 3 days prior (hence why I made an appt, bc that wasn't working). I was told to give it a few more days until the antibiotics kick in, so I'm not looking forward to another 4 days of pain. I wish they would have just extracted the tooth then and there or at least gave me some novacaine or SOMETHING for this pain! Update: 2 days after my appt I started to vomit blood. I went to the ER where they told me no one should be taking the max dose of Tylenol and Motrin for that long (5 days straight). I developed a stomach bleed bc my pain was not taken seriously.

Experiencia fantástica: I've found a new dental practice ! After being at a previous practice for 30 years, I was somewhat apprehensive looking for a new provider,but I am happy to find Cedar Lakes.

Experiencia fantástica: Just had my first visit to Cedar Lakes Dental Care and I loved it! Everyone was so nice and polite, and the service for both my kids and me was truly great. If you’re looking for quality care and top-notch dental hygiene, I definitely recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: My team was punctual and professional! They did an amazing job on my cleaning. I highly recommend their services.

Experiencia negativa: Would not recommend: I went in for a consultation. To have crowns on 4 upper teeth first consultation was fine but then dentist wanted another consult. So what was supposed to be 4crowns turned into removing my teeth partial dentures. And a absolutely unnecessary bone graft.if you are a patient there I would suggest thinking twice

Experiencia positiva: Professional and thoughtful staff. Pricing up front and clear in matching the treatment plan.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was very knowledgeable and caring. Office was sparking clean . Their equipment is state of the art

Experiencia fantástica: My visit at Cedar Lakes Dental Care was quite comforting, everyone was very professional and I had zero discomfort, it was painless. They told my options summarized and send me on with my beautiful new smile. Thank you. See you soon.

Experiencia fantástica: All of the hygienists hygienists are wonderful. Dr Burton is knowledgable, helpful and kind.

Experiencia fantástica: Per the norm my visit was AMAZING! My Dental Hygienist on my visit showed the best chair side manners. She was very professional, knowledgeable and patient! I would recommend this dental practice to any family/friend in need of services!

Experiencia fantástica: I didn't think. Things were going to be that easy . They took care of my problem. And made me more than comfortable. Everyone was more Is professional and caring. Can't wait to go back and finish.

Experiencia fantástica: Ever since moving to this location I’ve never had a bad experience since they opened! Everyone is smiling and everyone has been extremely pleasant and helpful every visit! Keep up the great work team!

Experiencia fantástica: My hygienist was amazing! She was very sweet, and thorough. She even gave me tips on how to continue taking good of my teeth

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was very kind and explained the process and pricing every step of the way. I’m very happy with the service I’ve received and scheduled 4 more appointments.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for quality dental care. I always have a great experience with their caring, professional staff.

Experiencia fantástica: I take my mom here for her dental care. Absolutely the kindest and caring staff. They take excellent care of her.

Experiencia fantástica: This entire team is incredibly nice and very understanding of shifting schedules. My work has me traveling all over on short notice. Every time I've had to change schedule they've been fantastic about it. Even fitting me in same day if they can. The hygenist techs are courteous and very efficient. The doctors and dental assistants show careful and intelligent diligence with their tasks. I'm very happy to have found them and that they are in my area.

Experiencia fantástica: Quick in-and-out service for cleanings and basic dental work, pain free scheduling, and I've had no issues with my insurance, despite changes through my employer.

Experiencia negativa: Amazing! As a former Dental Assistant for the US Navy, I was honored to have work done by one of very own! Thank you for one of the best dental visits I’ve ever been on. Your team was professional, and equally personable. I can say with 100% confidence they it was one of the best experiences I’ve had with anesthesia. I felt nothing! Thank you all again, especially my beautiful dental assistant who went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. Thank you! Oh, and they found a way to save me money. Of course I love that lol. Update: That one amazing dentist that I experienced is no longer with this office. After her departure, I was given a new dentist who was absolutely awful. He continued to get upset with me, pull my jaw and act as though he was annoyed by my presence. He was also a veteran, but nothing like the dentist before. When I left that day, I asked that he was never able to be my dentist again. I am convinced he was racist just by the way he looked at me and treated me. Fast-forward, I have an issue with a permanent crown that came off. Although the crown was not installed by them, as a former dental assistant, I understand dentistry. This woman left me waiting for 30 minutes at a time and went on to try to make up a care plan that wasn’t even needed. They tried to charge me $1200 to replace a perfectly stable crown. Telling me that I need a filling on a tooth that I already had a root canal on. And although the crown had been done in the timeframe that would allow a free replacement, they were still trying to charge me $600. All I wanted was for my crown to be reinstalled with permanent cement. I waited so long that I ended up walking out and reinstalling it myself. I am done with this office. I will go somewhere new. The dental assistants and the front desk staff are amazing but the dentist are subpar at best.

Experiencia fantástica: I am so happy I found Cedar Lakes Dental Care. They are very professional and explain everything. I think I have found my dentist forever. I like that they are top of their game in technology and they work with you to put you at ease. The entire staff is phenomenal. I highly recommend this practice for anyone, especially ones who are afraid of dental procedures.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at the office was very professional and helpful. I broke a molar and they fit me into their schedule and helped me deal with insurance issues.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred by a family friend. I had two teeth that needed to be pulled. They were able to get me in the following day and did a great job! Staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Burton was amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: I am absolutely ecstatic about Cedar Lakes Dental Care! They are extremely friendly and I can sense that they really care about their patients. I was almost broken (mentally) from my experience at the previous dental facility I went to. Now, I am proud to say that Cedar Lakes Dental Care is where I will be going for all of my dental work! Thank you, Cedar Lakes! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very patient and considerate. So happy I found them. Would highly recommend if your looking for a great dental group.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing staff and amazing service. Every time I have been there they were very kind and professional. They seem like they love what they do and they are good at it too. Weather it was a cleaning or other dental work they do a great job and I plan to keep coming back.

Experiencia fantástica: This is my favorite dentist I have ever been too. Office is clean and modern. Staff are professional and everything runs on time.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to this facility needing 2 broken teeth fixed. From making my appointment to the visit, I was impressed. When I was told one tooth could only be extracted and the other could be crowded, I kept waiting to be talked into a bridge for the extraction. It was not suggested and the entire cost was better than what I felt it might cost me for the crown alone. I was even offered to do payments if I wanted. It was refreshing to feel I had a group I could trust. I felt this was God directed. I will reccomend this group to others. The staff is professional and compassionate.

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely loved my team who was led by Dr. Sylvia. First, the Dr. was so awesome! I don't remember all of the team members' names but rest assured, I will find out and post each and every one! They were knowledgeable, caring and most importantly...funny! It made my visit so incredible . Thank you ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: My dental hygienist was incredibly nice and informative! She took her time and took care of my teeth with care.

Experiencia fantástica: My two children and I have been coming to Cedar Lakes Dentistry for about four years now. I am so pleased with the quality of care, and efficient service we have received at every visit. I love that the staff is diverse, welcoming and thorough. As a military family, establishing quality care can be a challenge with every transition to a new place. I have recommended CLD to all friends moving to the area and will happily continue to do so.

Experiencia fantástica: Easily the best dentists I have ever been to. Staff is great, prices are excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: My wife found this practice after we switched insurance providers. I recently had my first visit and it was a refreshing change of pace. The facility is modern and comfortable, the staff is friendly, efficient and informative. I showed up a few minutes early for the first time paperwork, which was a breeze and didn't wait but a few moments before my hygienist came to get me and begin the appointment.The equipment was started of the art and the hygienist was gentle and thorough. What was cool was the 3D imagining technology that the dentist was able to use to show me what she was seeing and make recommendations Overall rating from this first experience was A+ and I would recommend this practice to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience, they definitely made me feel comfortable… I am terrified of the dentist and have been my entire life but they went slow and were very nice

Experiencia negativa: I was not super happy with my visit this time. Every time I go I see a new hygienist and a new dentist bc there is so much turnover at this practice. I have to explain everything all over again as they aren’t familiar with my case. Plus this time the dentist was hardcore trying to sell me on Invisalign saying I have problems with my bite, when every dentist I’ve ever seen has told me my teeth are nearly perfect!! I’m going to be looking for a different dentist for my family.

Experiencia negativa: Very unprofessional. I'm seventy-four years old and had my first filling at age 6, so I've seen a few dentists. This experience was the worst. I had two visits for a crown replacement. I found the Dr's singing, humming and small talk with the tech while he was working to be off putting and odd. Their discussion of how bad their colds were and how much stuff they were coughing up (while they were both coughing) was likewise inappropriate. As the Dr was drilling to remove the old crown my mouth was filling up with water. The Dr directed the tech to "control the tongue" as my tongue involuntarily tried to prevent me from drowning. I think I pulled a tongue muscle. Second visit for crown placement. Different tech. Dr still singing, humming as he works. Tech makes a comment about it and he explained that he runs half marathons and that during training he needs something to fend off boredom and so sings to himself. Tech then starts to sing her own tunes. Finally crown is glued in place. Of course the glue is terrible tasting stuff and no rinse or suction is offered.

Experiencia fantástica: The front desk personnel were welcoming, and the hygienist that cleaned my teeth was so nice, I hope to have her next time.

Experiencia negativa: all I wanted was a loose tooth extracted I could’ve actually pulled the tooth myself. It was so loose, but they try to upsell me and charge me all kinds of extra stuff that I did not need total insult to my intelligence ripoffs made to upsell you on everything would never recommend anybody to go to this place. It was a complete waste of time. I pulled my own tooth

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was so considerate and caring. Dr. Burton and his assistant were awesome. The entire experience went smooth. This is my dentist office for sure

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome group of people at Cedar lakes positive energy n very polite ❤️ I love the energy of the staff awesome group of people Not a fan of the new male Dr he has not bed side manner no introduction to his name n the fact that he new I witness first hand he selective with his chair side manner no cool , you title in this profession doesn't n shouldn't entitled you to pick n choose who gets greeted n treated . I disagree n I'm a nurse every Patient should receive the same energy. Bring in the medical field is a gift n a calling remember I said it

Experiencia fantástica: Quick and easy. Checking in was quick. I was seen at scheduled time and the technician was very knowledgeable, pleasant and professional. The facilities are excellent!!

Experiencia fantástica: My dental hygienist was immaculate. She was very focused and did an amazing job. I have never been this happy leaving the dentist, all thanks to her.

Experiencia fantástica: First time since Dr. Richard relocated, dentist actually looked into my mouth. In the past it was a cleaning by the tech, and off you go. Very pleased.

Experiencia negativa: We were referred to Cedar Lakes Dental through Hanbury Dental which discontinued our insurance. We had two appointments Scheduled for my daughter who is returning back to college and myself at one on August 19 at Ipm I confirmed these appointments three different times and three different ways. The morning of our appointment, we were notified that they had been canceled due to an error in the system. We had to reschedule my daughter who’s overdue for a cleaning till November during her break from Virginia Tech. They were courteous enough to get me in the following day. The hygienist was wonderful, friendly and gentle. I was advised I had a small cavity and a rear tooth and then I may need a crown when it came time to sign the paper for my portion of the bill a $800 root canal was added in and the amount going to be billed to Insurance for standard crown was $200 more than Hanbury Dental which is their sister office and $300 more than R&B comprehensive dentistry. I question the staff as to why a standard crown at this office Was so highly overpriced. I was met with several maybe’s I don’t know’s And that was a question for higher up. We have TRICARE dental and it is extremely difficult to find a Dentist that actually accepts our insurance we were excited about coming to the location, Until we realized we were being taken advantage of. I contacted my own insurance company to question these charges, and they also advise me that they had never been billed that amount for a normal crown, Or even a root canal that was not part of my treatment plan. Normally, these prices only reflect five tier Dentist’s. For example, Konikoff. So when it came time to make my appointment, my answer to the staff was a maybe and then I don’t know. I do recommend this dentist for cleanings but for any other dental work, I’m sure there’s better Offices with more reasonable prices. ALSO UPDATE THIS OFFICE WILL TELL PATIENTS THEY ACCEPT UNITED CONCORDIA BUT THEY ARE NOT IN NETWORK, they bill as out of network to receive the benefits and leave the patient on the hook for the remainder of the bill. Do not confuse them with an actual in-network dentist.
