MONEY HUNGRY PRACTICE! DO NOT BOOK AN APPOINTMENT!…read more I specifically did my research & found a provider who participated in my insurance. I proactively sent my most recent dental x-rays over prior to my appointment, although the appointment I booked was for my annual dental cleaning. At the time of my appointment I was handed forms to fill out, one of them being a "$35 Oral Cancer Screening". During my appointment the Dentist looked over my recent x-rays and proceeded to order a full mouth set of x-rays. One would think a professional practice would check with a patient's insurance carrier to see if a complete imaging procedure would be covered or confirm whether the insurance carrier will allow it for the 2026 year- NOPE. The dental assistant who performed my cleaning then asked if I'd be interested in the oral cancer screening (you'd think this would be covered under a routine dental screening- not according to this practice.) They push it as if it's their monthly special. After my appointment I headed to the front desk where the receptionist quoted me $226.40 for a treatment plan. In the treatment plan the total fee equated to $680. The "estimated insurance coverage" was $453.60. I spoke with my insurance carrier after the visit to confirm coverage. 80% of each treatment code listed would be covered and I would be responsible for paying the remaining 20%. One code was not covered in its entirety but the office did not inform me- instead I was merely handed a treatment plan with an expectation that I would pay $226.40. Fast forward to a month or so later- I received a bill from Lighthouse Dental in the amount of $310, for what you may ask? The panoramic x-rays that were done without checking my insurance coverage. I received a call from Lighthouse Dental and I asked the receptionist "if I provided my most recent x-rays prior to my visit why were additional x-rays done?" She replied "all new patients need full x-rays." I questioned why the practice didn't check my insurance coverage or contact my previous Dentist for my last full x-rays if it was needed. She then said "well on the bright side you won't have to get it done again for 5 years" EXCUSE ME? To top it off, after speaking with the receptionist I asked to speak with an office manager- who took two weeks to return my call. I refuse to pay $310 due to Lighthouse Dental's negligence. The carelessness of this practice is appalling.

Do not go there. I went there seeking Invisalign advice…read morebecause I had one tooth out of alignment (had braces as a kid, and the rest of my smile was perfect!). My great insurance covered orthodontic work, so I thought why not get this done! The treatment basically pulled all of my teeth backward, my bite feeling locked, and left me grinding my teeth into one another. I definitely regret this treatment! Then, I has crown done. As I ate, the pressure of the crown which was obv too far backward, popped out the gold inlay of the molar behind it. Obv the crown was not the right size! So, I am left with thousands of dollars of corrective dental work. When I went there, I had great insurance, so they had no problem doing this work. Now, without insurance, I am stuck. Beware!

The quality of care was exceptional. At my follow-up appointment, Dr. Bellucci repaired a chipped tooth that three previous dentists had failed to fix properly. His work was phenomenal--the result is truly astonishing. For the first time in years, I can smile with complete confidence.
