Whatever you choose, we urge you to take the time to complete the forms so we can give you the best care possible.
Accessible & Convenient
We have payment methods to fit your preference.
We are often times asked if a patient can set up a payment plan. Although we prefer to collect payment in full prior to the completion of a service, we do understand that this may not always be possible. We try to make dental costs affordable for all patients. We cannot change our fees, as we have to file them to keep in compliance with programs we participate with, but we can try to help you find a way to make them work with your budget.
In Office Financing
In-office payment plans are available on a limited basis. If payment in full is not feasible at the time a patient completes treatment they will need to discuss any financing with our Office Manager, Jessica, prior to the completion of the treatment. Balances carried from month to month may incur a finance charge and/or billing charge.
Extended Financing
We accept CareCredit. Care Credit is an out of the office, revolving line of credit that requires a credit application. Upon approval, our office can offer the 12 months “no interest” ¹ plan or 24-60 month “low interest” ² plan dependent on the amount financed. Care Credit is accepted at other offices in the area including some oral surgeons, chiropractors, eye care clinics, or veterinary clinics.
¹If paid within the promotional period. Otherwise, interest assessed from purchase date. Minimum monthly payment required.
²Subject to credit approval
Whether you have dental insurance or not, it should never stop you from caring for your smile.
