These visits are thorough and enjoyable, as our team makes sure to address all of your concerns and get your dental health on the right track.
Patient Forms
We ask that all of our first-time patients please download and fill out our forms before their appointment using the link below. That way, when you arrive, our team can quickly input your information into our system and minimize any time you may need to spend filling them out in our waiting area. If you have difficulty accessing the forms, please call us.
Dental Insurance
At McElroy Smiles by Design of Encinitas, we’re proud to be in-network with most major PPO dental insurance plans. This means that we’ve negotiated discounted rates and fees with insurance companies to offer their clients maximized savings and lower out-of-pocket costs. If you aren’t in-network with our office, we’re happy to help file insurance claims on your behalf to ensure you get the most back from your reimbursement.

This is a great option for patients who are underinsured and uninsured.
