Welcome to Premier Endodontics, a practice dedicated exclusively to endodontic care. We offer a calm and comfortable environment in our state-of-the-art facility and strive to make your endodontic visit a pleasant experience while providing quality care.
Your initial appointment
Your initial appointment will involve a thorough consultation, during which we’ll discuss your diagnosis with you and the available treatment options that could benefit your condition.
In many instances, treatment can be done the same day as the consultation. However, depending on each person’s particular circumstances, medical history and complexity of the treatment plan additional appointments may be necessary.
We will take the time to understand all of your concerns and answer any questions that you may have. To facilitate ease of the administrative process, please download the new patient forms and bring this completed paperwork to your appointment.
For emergency patients who present with discomfort or infection, we will do our best to accommodate you as soon as possible, usually on the same day.

Financial Policy
We strive to deliver the finest care to our patients while trying to provide convenient and flexible financial options.
When you visit our office, please bring your insurance information with you so that we can attempt to verify your benefits and coverage levels and begin submission of your claim upon completion of treatment. We will do our best to maximize your insurance reimbursement for covered procedures, however please remember you are fully responsible for all fees charged and not reimbursed by insurance.
Once we have all of your necessary insurance information, our front desk staff will do their best to obtain an estimate of the amount your insurance provider will pay toward your endodontic treatment. This amount will depend on your plan’s benefit for endodontic treatment as well as your annual coverage maximum as compared to the usage of your dental insurance during the plan year and the satisfaction of deductibles, if any. Please note that once treatment has been completed and your insurance carrier pays its portion, you may have a balance remaining for which you will be billed. In the event of an overpayment, you will receive a reimbursement check for any overpaid amount.
Payment is requested at the time service is rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance. For your convenience we accept most major credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Because we feel that quality dental treatment should be affordable to all patients, we also offer CareCredit (www.carecredit.com) as a courtesy. CareCredit is wellness credit card that can be used as a payment option for certain expenses not covered by insurance or to bridge situations when desired care exceeds insurance coverage.
If you have questions regarding your account, please contact us at (781) 642-7500.
Privacy Policy
Our practice strives to fully comply with all HIPAA privacy guidance. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, “the HIPAA Privacy Rule provides federal protections for individually identifiable health information held by covered entities and their business associates and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information. At the same time, the Privacy Rule is balanced so that it permits the disclosure of health information needed for patient care and other important purposes.
The Security Rule specifies a series of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for covered entities and their business associates to use to assure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information.
