Affordable Dentistry

Dental health has a direct connection with overall wellbeing. A healthy lifestyle can lead to minimizing oral diseases and dental problems which improve a person’s quality of life. One of the most important things you can do for your dental wellbeing, and your wallet, is to regularly visit your dentist for checkups. Preventive dentistry and early detection help to minimize long-term costs for good oral health.

Many dental practices offer flexible and affordable programs to help their patients’ budget for treatment. This service is a significant help for patients with hereditary or medical dental problems, as well as those who are operating on a very tight budget. 

Insurance

Dental insurance is widely available and packages are created to address specific needs, such as providing discounts for families, or including wellness checkups at no extra cost to the patient. Most insurance companies offer an online customer service center and free tools, such as a cost calculator, or comparative rates so that you can fully review all available plans before committing to a policy.

It’s also worth checking with your dental provider. The office manager or finance manager may be able to assist you in understanding benefits or available providers. Most dental offices will help you file paperwork to achieve the most benefit possible for your treatment.

Financing Plans

Financing plans often function in the same way as credit cards. The healthcare credit card can be used to pay for preventive and, in some cases, cosmetic dental treatments and procedures. Two of the more widely accepted plans include Care Credit and Citi Health Care

• Navigational friendly online account management
