If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to speak with Dr. Ferrin, Dr. Malloy, or any member of our experienced team. We are honored that you have chosen us for your periodontal care, and we deeply value the trust you place in our practice.

Insurance Information
At Rogue Periodontics, we are committed to providing top-quality periodontal and implant services. While we are not directly contracted with any insurance providers, we do work with most insurance companies as an "Out of Network" provider. We strive to maximize your benefits, and our team will assist with billing your insurance on your behalf.
Please bring your dental insurance details during your visit so we can verify your benefits and streamline the reimbursement process for future appointments.
It’s important to note that dental insurance differs from medical insurance, so we recommend reviewing your insurance provider's benefit booklet to better understand your coverage. The portion of treatment costs covered by your policy will vary depending on your specific plan. Also, please inform us of any changes to your insurance coverage to ensure your benefits are accurately applied.
As a courtesy, we will file and track all insurance claims on your behalf. Upon request, we can provide an estimate of the coverage based on the information provided by your insurance. However, please keep in mind that this estimate is not a guarantee of benefits or the final amount that will be paid.
