What Makes Lakeside Dental Surgery Center Special?
It’s possible that your current dentist can provide your care! With an open credentialing process for eligible dental providers, Lakeside Dental Surgery Center encourages all pediatric dentists and oral surgeons in our community to become credentialed dentists. If your dentist is not a credentialed provider of Lakeside Dental Surgery Center, don’t worry. We have several experienced dentists who can meet your family, provide treatment, and then refer the patient back to your established dentist!
Four operating rooms are dedicated completely to the treatment of patients who are unable to receive care in a traditional dental office setting. Led by an experienced anesthesia and medical care team, Lakeside Dental Surgery Center will provide unlimited access for patients who previously would have ended up on a never-ending waiting list for treatment while under anesthesia.
Lakeside Dental Surgery Center welcomes all patients, including those with developmental healthcare needs. Only patients with severe underlying healthcare issues will not be eligible for treatment at the surgery center, but we will work with you to have the patient coordinated for treatment at Wolfson Children’s Hospital.
You can put your family’s medical insurance benefits to use! Ambulatory surgical centers (ASC) are medical facilities, and Lakeside Dental Surgery Center is in network with most medical insurance carriers, including Medicaid. That means that your medical insurance will provide benefits towards the anesthesia and facility fees associated with the patient’s treatment.
*The patient’s dental provider will coordinate the dental insurance benefits for the dental treatment.
