Frequently Asked Questions
+What forms of insurance do you take?We take many forms of insurance. The easiest way to find out if we take yours is to call us at 417-886-9194 or email us at
info@mcquearydental.com. That said, we are a PPO (preferred provider organization) for Delta Dental, Aetna, Assurant Employee Benefits, Dental Networks of America, Blue Cross Blue Shield IL, NM, OK, TX, Dearborne, Security Life Premier, and Cigna.
+I don't have insurance. Can you still help me?Yes and we’d love to! Because you don’t have dental insurance, preventative care is extremely important. While nobody likes paying for preventative care, it is significantly less expensive than the kind of dental procedures that can result from a lack of preventative care.
+How much do your procedures cost?The cost of any procedure varies depending on the patients needs and the kind of insurance you carry, if any. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss the costs and benefits of any procedure.
Contact us anytime to set up a free consultation, or simply call us at 417-886-9094.
+Why are your teeth whitening techniques better than over-the-counter methods?There are a few reasons why a custom fit bleaching system from Dr. McQueary is more effective than the over-the-counter solutions. Over-the-counter trays are designed to fit in your mouth but are not custom fit to your teeth. As a result, there is little control over where the bleaching solution goes. Since the chemical included in these home kits is an irritant to the gums, they have to be made considerably weaker (and less effective). The trays made by Dr. McQueary are custom fit to your teeth, which prevents the chemicals from getting on your gums. This allows us to provide you with a significantly more effective solution.
