Every Michigan dentist holds a licence from LARA. You can check a name and any public discipline on LARA Verify a License.
Ask whether the office is in network with your insurance. Out-of-network offices can still file the claim, but your share is often higher.
Before any large treatment, ask for a written plan with the cost of each step and what insurance is expected to pay.
Ask how the office handles emergencies after hours.
A general dentist can refer you to a specialist (orthodontist, endodontist, oral surgeon) when a case needs one.
