Dental treatment can be very expensive. Even though dentists constantly strive to hold the costs of procedures down, sometimes the work requires a significant investment of time, resources, and technology. Your Milford implant dentist, Dr. Mitchell I. Quintner, discusses the ways patients can finance their dental work in his Connecticut office.
Dental Insurance
Many health insurance companies offer dental insurance as a supplement to the regular health insurance. With dental insurance, the insurance company will often pay a portion of the bill and the patient pays a co-pay. There are drawbacks to dental insurance, however. While it may pay for part of preventative and restorative procedures, dental insurance does not usually cover cosmetic dentistry. In addition, there is always the possibility that the insurance company could deny your claim, leaving you on the hook for the balance. Many people do not have dental insurance. Some people wrongly assume that dentistry is covered by their regular health insurance and do not realize that they need to pay an extra premium. Others are unable to get dental insurance through their employer. If you do not have insurance or are seeking treatment for a procedure insurance does not cover, or when insurance does not cover enough, you have options.
Financing
Sensitive Care Dentistry participates in CareCredit, a patient financing company offering low- and no-interest loans to qualified applicants. Currently, a 12-month, interest-free payment plan is available to qualified patients. In addition, we offer discounts for seniors, as well as professional discounts, and the financial team is willing to work with patients to determine the best course of action for paying for needed dental care.
