Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your use of pittsburghdentistry.org(the "Site"), operated by Pittsburgh Dentistry (dba Dental Medicine Institute). By using the Site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

The Site Is Informational

Content on this Site — including pricing, service descriptions, and educational material like our Real Value & Insurance Guide — is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for an in-person dental exam, professional diagnosis, or personalized treatment advice from Dr. Sams or another licensed dentist. Individual treatment recommendations and costs vary by case.

Pricing

Prices shown reflect standard, self-pay pricing and are provided for orientation. Individual treatment cost may vary based on case complexity. Pennsylvania and national average comparison figures are published third-party benchmarks, included for context — not a guarantee of what any other practice charges. Pricing shown on the Site is the same whether you're using insurance, a Cherry payment plan, or paying directly, unless stated otherwise. Combining insurance reimbursement or a payment plan may change your net out-of-pocket amount, but never the posted price you pay us at your visit.

Insurance & Reimbursement

Pittsburgh Dentistry is an out-of-network provider. Patients pay Pittsburgh Dentistry directly, in full, at the time of service, regardless of insurance. As a courtesy, we may submit your paid receipt to your insurer on your behalf so that you may seek reimbursement directly from them; this is not a guarantee of any specific reimbursement amount, which is determined solely by your insurance plan.

Third-Party Services

The Site may link to or reference third-party services, including Cherry (pay.withcherry.com) for payment plans and Google for maps and reviews. We don't control these third parties and aren't responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that provider's own terms.

Reviews

Review excerpts shown on the Site are real, unedited reviews from patients, shared with attribution as they were originally posted publicly. We don't alter review content; we may choose which reviews to feature.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Site — including attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of it, submitting false or fraudulent information through our forms, or using automated tools to scrape or copy Site content without permission.

Intellectual Property

Text, design, and materials on this Site — including the Real Value & Insurance Guide and Quick Value Guide — belong to Pittsburgh Dentistry and may not be reproduced or redistributed for commercial purposes without permission. You're welcome to share the guides with friends and family for their own personal, informational use.

No Warranty; Limitation of Liability

The Site is provided "as is." While we work to keep pricing and information accurate and current, we don't guarantee the Site is error-free or that displayed pricing is current at every moment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pittsburgh Dentistry is not liable for any indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
