Financing and Insurance
Patient Expectations
Even if you have insurance, your portion of payment is due at time of service. We ask that you pay your deductible and any percentage due on the day of service. We allow 45 days for your insurance to pay. You will be billed for the balance if payment is not received within this time, as you are ultimately responsible for the entire fee.
Please inform Morningside Dental if you’ve used any of your annual dental benefits for other services (oral surgery, orthodontics, etc.). The more information we have, the better we can help!
Payment Options
Insurance Info
We are direct providers for the following insurance companies:
Anthem Blue Cross
BlueDental (preferred provider and PPO)
Delta Dental (premier provider)
Don’t see your company on the list? Don’t worry! We work with MANY insurance providers and will happily submit claims for your insurance company upon request.
Patient Discounts
For seniors (age 60+), we provide a 10% discount for work paid in full at the time of service.
For all patients, we provide 5% off all work paid in full at the time of service. If you have insurance, however, and if Morningside Dental files for your insurance payment, no discount is available.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m a good brusher. Do I still need to come in for a cleaning every six months if my teeth look and feel fine?
Do you take new patients with Title IX, state aid, or the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan?
When should I consider dental care for my child?
Dr. Kiple recommends that you brush your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth erupts and instill regular brushing habits for the child’s entire lifetime. Brushing baby teeth can involve a soft-bristled baby toothbrush or even wiping the teeth and gums with a wet washcloth. We suggest that you bring your child for the first general exam and cleaning by at least two years of age. At Morningside Dental, these are known as “Happy Visits”! If you see something in your child’s mouth that causes you concern at any time, please contact us!
