Westgate Dental Care Financial Coordinator Rajmonda Koci
High-quality dentistry can be expensive, but at Westgate Dental Care in Arlington Heights, exceptional services don’t come with a high price tag. This practice is committed to offering affordable dental services to all, regardless of patients’ financial situations. Westgate Dental Care offers a variety of payment options all aimed at making quality dental services available in an affordable and convenient way. Additionally, a dedicated team at Westgate is readily available to answer patients’ questions about insurance coverage, financial plans and more. They even offer a New Patient Special that provides new patients with remarkable savings.
“Finding ways to make dentistry affordable for patients by offering multiple financial options is very important to Westgate Dental Care and part of our core mission of providing high-quality dental care to as many people as possible,” said Rajmonda Koci, Financial Coordinator at Westgate Dental Care.
Westgate Dental Care’s unique New Patient Special, is designed to help first-time clients feel comfortable in their new dentist’s chair while providing them access to a variety of necessary services for free. The New Patient Special includes an exam, digital X-rays, a periodontal exam, and oral cancer screening, all at no cost to the patient. This type of service is valued at nearly $400, but Westgate Dental Care wants to thank new patients by providing these complementary services during their first visit. Exclusions may apply, and Koci encourages new patients to reach out regarding any questions they have related to accessing the New Patient Special.
“The New Patient Special really puts patients at ease, lets them connect with our team and assesses their oral health in a timely and professional manner,” said Koci. “It’s also extremely cost effective, which is more important than ever to families after weathering the pandemic.”
Many families choose to utilize their dental insurance to cover services provided by Westgate Dental Care for both routine maintenance as well as more complex and restorative treatments. Westgate employs trained professionals to help patients take full advantage of their insurance policies and benefits. Their expert team is equipped at handling dental insurance and is ready and waiting to pass their knowledge about navigating insurance to patients and families. While each family’s policy is different and best discussed on an individual basis, one basic principle the practice wants patients to know is the difference between dental and medical insurance. Dental insurance is meant to cover more preventive measures to stop serious oral health problems from occurring as well as help ease the financial burden if services are needed to treat a serious issue involving your oral hygiene. Medical insurance may only cover major dental work, such as a portion of placing dental implants, or emergency dental care. Depending on policies and the dental work needed, coverage may overlap. Koci encourages any patients who have questions about coverage to reach out to her department for additional information and help regarding their specific case.
While dental insurance can be immensely helpful for many patients, Westgate Dental Care understands that not everyone has access to this type of insurance. The practice’s top priority is helping each patient achieve optimal oral health and is committed to helping all patients find ways to afford high-quality dental care.
Westgate Dental Care offers a Membership Program designed to be used exclusively at their office for patients without dental benefits.

“Westgate Dental Care’s Membership Plan is a wonderful option that includes discounts on major and basic services as well as cleanings, exams and radiographs. Patients may choose their desired range of coverage and all plans are active for 12 months starting the day they sign up,” said Koci.
