Payment OptionsOur office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. After 60 days, you are responsible for the entire balance, paid-in-full. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
Dr. Hovda gave me the smile I have always wanted! I have always been afraid to smile because of my teeth, but now I am very happy to show off my new smile thanks to Dr. Hovda's excellent treatment! Dr. Hovda's two convenient locations in Wausau and Merrill made getting to my appointments very easy. Dr. Hovda and his staff also explained every step of my treatment to me so I always knew what to expect.
I know there are many dentists out there who claim to be an Orthodontist, but have just taken weekend classes and label themselves as Orthodontists. Do not be fooled! I found out that these dentists actually charge MORE than a properly trained orthodontist who has had 6 years of specialized training and has the proper educational background to provide the specialized care that you pay for and expect!
Go with the best in Northcentral Wisconsin and call Dr. Hovda today. Don't wait like I did to get the smile you have always wanted! It will change your life dramatically to be able to smile with confidence!
Thank you again, Dr. Hovda and Staff for giving me new confidence with my great new smile!
