Find a Dentist with Payment Plan Options

 

Many families don’t have dental insurance and find that the bills from the dentist can be burdensome or even overwhelming. Most dentists understand that concern. That’s why many of them offer numerous different ways to take care of those bills so that you can make sure your children and your family continue to receive the excellent oral health care that they deserve and need. Our partner dentists accept both cash and credit card payments. In addition, they offer a range of payment alternatives that they’ll be happy to explore with you, so that you can find the payment plan option that best suits both your finances and your family’s dental needs.

Financing Through CareCredit

Many dental practices partner with CareCredit, which is a reputable and nationally known financing company serving patients who require services from the health and wellness professions but may need help to pay for those services over time. CareCredit operates as a credit card for a specific purpose: paying for healthcare, including dental services.

You can learn more about the terms and conditions of CareCredit accounts on the CareCredit website. If you’re ready to apply, just ask the staff at your dentist’s office if they work with CareCredit. They can help you apply for a CareCredit account.

Dental and Health Insurance

Our partner dentists also accept a wide range of different types of health and dental insurance policies, including:

  • Medicaid
  • Many major insurance providers
  • CHIP (formerly known as SCHIP)
  • TRICARE (available to many military families)
  • And more

If you think you might qualify for Medicaid, visit the Healthcare.gov website. You may also want to review the types of services that are covered by Medicaid policies .

Getting the Dental Care Your Family Needs

Regardless of your financial circumstances, our partner dentists want to work with you to make sure your family members get the quality dental care they need. That’s especially true for children, who require regular cleanings and checkups as they grow to make sure their smiles stay beautiful and healthy for life.

Did you know that caries, or tooth decay, is now the most common childhood disease for U.S. kids? That’s why it’s so important to do everything you can to protect your child’s dental health both now and in the future. It’s an investment in lifelong health and wellness.

Our partner dentists who work with children have lots of experience putting nervous kids (and parents) at ease. From bright and cheerful offices to friendly, reassuring professionals, they’ll make sure you and your family get the best care without all the anxiety that a trip to the dentist used to provoke.
