Dental insurance isn’t always straightforward and can be complicated for even an experienced professional to understand. We can assure you that we will be your advocate in determining what your benefits are and how they apply to your treatment and providing pre-treatment estimates that are as accurate as possible. We will ensure that you get the most out of your benefits and are always happy to follow up on outstanding dental claims on your behalf.
Payment Options
We are pleased to accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Please also check out our in-house dental savings plan below that can help you get the care you need and cut down on dental costs.
CareCredit
We are pleased to offer CareCredit, a popular financing program for patients who want to spread the cost of their dental treatment over several months and make manageable monthly payments that fit their budget. CareCredit is perfect for unexpected dental expenses or co-pays because you can get the care you need today and pay off the balance over time. It's easy to apply for CareCredit, approval rates are high, and you will know within minutes if you qualify—and most people do.
Once you are approved, you can continue to use the card just as you would a regular credit card to pay for other health and wellness expenses like hearing and vision care, dermatology, beauty treatments, and even veterinary care. As long as you pay off the balance in the agreed period, CareCredit will not charge any interest.
If you would like to learn more about CareCredit and how it can benefit you, please call us at (618) 235-5141 or apply directly online at CareCredit.com.
