Using Your Dental Insurance
Many dental plans include benefits that can help cover part of your care with us. Our team will submit your claims as a courtesy, so you can focus on your visit instead of the paperwork.
Insurance and payment
Do you accept my dental insurance?
Coverage varies from plan to plan. Before your visit, we recommend calling your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network benefits and what your plan may cover, including sedation or general anesthesia. We’re happy to submit your dental claims for you.
What payment options do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit.
Are payment plans available?
Financing may be available for qualified applicants through Cherry and CareCredit, with monthly payment plans that can make treatment more manageable.
We offer a 5% discount when you pay your full treatment plan amount at the time you book your treatment appointment. This discount is available for self-pay treatment plans and for the patient portion of insured treatment plans (the amount your insurance does not cover).
All financing is offered by third party lenders, is subject to credit approval, and may not be available to all applicants. The Dental Anesthesia Center does not provide financing directly and is not a lender. Please review all terms directly with the lender before applying.
