Dental insurance, denture costs and family care across OKC

What NSO's denture price includes, and what comes before it

SoonerCare denture approval starts before the fitting

SoonerCare's adult gum-treatment benefit requires approval for scaling and root planing. This is deep cleaning below the gums. OU's graduate gum clinic provides that care and gum surgery, through 405-271-7020.

OU's student fees come with longer daytime visits

At OU College of Dentistry, student care normally costs 40% to 60% less than private-practice fees. A student visit lasts about 3 hours during the day. The school chooses cases that fit its students' training needs. The first step is a request for a screening.

OU takes patients with and without dental insurance. For plans that have a contract with the school, OU bills the plan and collects your share. For other plans, you pay the full fee when treated. The school can file your claim, and the plan pays you back.

OU's insurer contracts vary by clinic. Payment options include cash, Visa, Discover and MasterCard. The school can arrange advance payment for care. Pediatric patients may pay at the end of the visit.
