Artistic Dental offers many different dental payment options for a good reason.

Many Americans are faced with a common health care concern: finding affordable health insurance. According to a Reuters poll, health care costs are a top concern for voters, with 62% of Republicans and 67% of Democrats unhappy about the presidential candidates’ positions on health care affordability. Why are we bringing this up? Well, as voters and health care professionals ourselves, we understand paying for quality health care can be daunting and difficult to do.

We also recognize most Americans don’t have dental insurance due to its high cost. The National Association of Dental Plans found only 64% of the U.S. population had dental benefits through an employer or group program like AARP in 2014. This may not seem like a low percentage, but of the 205 million Americans with dental coverage, approximately 114 million Americans have no dental coverage.

That’s a significant amount of people when you consider most people with dental insurance are more likely to go to the dentist, thus improving their dental and overall health. The outliers, however, are 67% more likely to have heart disease; 50% more likely to develop osteoporosis, and 29% more likely to have diabetes for not visiting the dentist on a regular basis.

At Artistic Dental, it’s our mission to make dental care as affordable as possible, which is why we have many dental payment options available for patients who do not have dental insurance. We also have a financial policy in place to help maximize the insurance benefits of patients with dental coverage. Ultimately, our goal is to help you receive exceptional dental care at a reasonable rate.

Currently, we accept the following insurance plans:

  • ·     CIGNA
  • ·     Aetna
  • ·     Delta Dental
  • ·     Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • ·     Humana Dental
  • ·     Guardian
  • ·     Connection Dental Network
  • ·     United Concordia – FFS

We accept most dental insurance programs, including non-managed care, indemnity (traditional) and PPO out-of-network. However, we do not accept programs included in a managed care network (HMO). If you don’t see your dental insurance on the list above, call the office to discuss your dental plan; we may be able to accommodate your specific policy.

In regards to our payment options, we accept cash, personal check, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. If you would like to set up a payment plan with Artistic Dental, you may do so with CareCredit, Compassionate Finance, or Prosper Healthcare Lending upon approval. You’ll need to fill out an application with one of the financing entities before you schedule your appointment. Once your application and credit are approved, you can choose a financing option that is right for you and pay for your services using a healthcare credit card.
