To Our Valued Patients,

At Fetner & Hartigan Periodontics, our top priority has always been providing you with the highest quality periodontal care in a comfortable and compassionate environment.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to no longer participate as an in-network provider with MetLife dental insurance plans, effective December 7, 2025. This was not an easy decision, but it is necessary to ensure that we can continue delivering the level of care you deserve.

Increasingly, insurance companies have placed restrictions that either limit treatment options or deny coverage for procedures we recommend. We are in our 37th year of practice and have never swayed from a commitment to conservative, evidence-based care. The restrictions from some insurance companies can compromise the quality of treatment we are able to provide. Our decision to step out of network reflects our commitment to prioritizing your health over insurance limitations.

What does this mean for you if you have MetLife coverage with out-of-network benefits?

We value the trust you place in us and remain committed to your care. If you have any questions about this change, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
