Supporting Your Journey to a Healthier Smile

Patient Information

Trusted Dentist in Palo Alto

At Denise Henderson DDS, we believe that receiving exceptional dental care should be a seamless, stress-free experience. From your first consultation to ongoing treatment, our team is here to provide clear communication, financial flexibility, and support every step of the way.

Insurance and Billing

We are happy to work with most traditional dental insurance plans. If you’re unsure whether your provider is accepted, please contact our office and our team will be glad to verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage.

While our practice does not participate in Health Management Organizations (HMOs), we will gladly file your insurance claims on your behalf to help you receive eligible reimbursements. As long as your plan allows you to choose your own dentist, we can help you get the most from your coverage.

If you have questions about your plan, deductibles, or what treatments may be eligible under your insurance, our knowledgeable team is here to guide you through the process.

Flexible Payment Options

We’re committed to making dental care accessible. In addition to accepting most insurance plans, we also offer several convenient ways to pay for your treatment:

  • Checks
  • Cash
  • Major credit cards

We also offer a flexible payment plan to help spread out costs for more extensive or elective services. Our Financial Coordinator will work with you to find a solution that fits your budget and your health goals.

From routine checkups to cosmetic services like Invisalign and teeth whitening, we want every patient to have access to the care they need without financial stress.

What to Expect

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by a welcoming team who takes the time to get to know you. Dr. Denise Henderson is known for her gentle, patient-centered approach — especially for individuals with dental anxiety. We’ll discuss your goals, review any health concerns, and ensure that you’re comfortable with each step of your care plan.
