At Marina Aesthetic Dentistry, we want you to feel completely cared for—heard, comfortable, and confident at every visit. Our fee-for-service model gives us the freedom to focus on what matters most: you. Without the restrictions of insurance-driven care, we’re not pressured by production goals or rushed schedules. Instead, we can slow down, spend more meaningful time with you, truly listen, understand your goals, and tailor every treatment to give you the healthiest, happiest smile possible.
Fee-for-service dentistry is a care model where the dental office charges for treatments based on standard, customary fees—rather than being restricted by insurance-dictated pricing or coverage rules. Unlike insurance-driven practices, which limit what treatments can be offered or covered, fee-for-service gives both you and your dentist greater freedom and flexibility.
With this model, our dentist can recommend the full range of treatment options that best support your health, not just what an insurance plan allows. You then choose the approach that aligns with your needs, goals, and preferences—ensuring personalized, high-quality care every step of the way.
Yes — absolutely. Our office accepts all PPO insurance plans and will gladly file claims on your behalf. While we are out-of-network with all carriers except Delta Premier. Most patients find that their insurance still covers the majority of treatment costs, with only a small 5–10% difference in fees.

I have been seeing Dr. Patel for 20 years and would not consider going to anyone else, despite having options closer to home and work. She and her staff are always friendly, professional, and courteous. Anything not covered by my dental insurance is explained up front.
Dr. Patel is fantastic! Her manner of care makes you feel very relaxed. She is excellent in answering your questions. Dr. Patel is always interested in increasing her level of knowledge. I feel very fortunate going to Dr. Patel for my dental care and would highly recommend her.
Dr. Patel is always kind, timely, and very thorough in her treatments. She keeps herself up to date on advancements and treatment options in her industry, yet, she is keenly aware that not everyone has dental insurance coverage, so she prioritizes the things she feels are most important to your dental and overall health.
