What services will my dental insurance cover?

Coverage varies from provider to provider, but there are a few general rules that most dental insurance plans follow. For starters, dental insurance almost always covers the cost of routine cleanings and exams completely, allowing every patient to receive their regular preventive care with no out-of-pocket costs. Insurance will usually cover 80% of what are considered “basic” procedures, like fillings and root canal therapy. For more advanced treatments, like crowns, implants, and dentures, your insurance may only cover about half of the cost. For patients who are uninsured or underinsured, we accept cash, debit and credit, and CareCredit and LendingClub.

carecredit

What is CareCredit®?

CareCredit offers flexible financing plans for patients who need a way to subsidize the cost of their care upfront and pay it off later using feasible monthly payments. CareCredit essentially works like a credit card that is specifically for health and dental care costs, allowing you to finance any of the dental treatments that you want or need. Then, you can pick a 6-24 month payment plan that will work with your budget and make payments that accrue little to no interest when paid on time. Most patients receive an instant credit decision when they apply online, and CareCredit plans can be used right away, so apply today!

lendingclub

What is LendingClub?

LendingClub works similarly to CareCredit, except patients receive personal loans instead of using credit to pay for their treatments. After the application process is completed, qualified applicants receive loan offers to choose from. You will be able to review your monthly payment and interest rate options and choose what will work best for you and your family. Then, your loan will be deposited into your bank account in a few business days, allowing you to pay for the services that you need. Both CareCredit and LendingClub are excellent choices for patients who need flexible financing options for their dental care.
