At Artistic Dental we want you to be able to receive the care you need, when you need it. Dental issues can arise, and if they’re not treated they can become a more serious and costly problem. To help alleviate the stress of paying for dental treatments, we offer a variety options for you to cover the costs of care; one of these options is CareCredit. If you do not have dental insurance or a treatment you need or want is not covered under your plan it does not mean you must forgo treatment.
CareCredit is a credit card that allows you finance your health and wellness expenses for you and your family. Once you’re approved for CareCredit you can use it for any treatment you need and then pay off the expense with convenient monthly payments or all at one time when you are able. CareCredit is unique in that it offers short term financing to fit your healthcare needs without charging interest like you would incur with a traditional credit card, as long as you make your minimum monthly payments and pay off the bill by the end of the pre-determined period.
Even those with insurance may find CareCredit beneficial. It can offer relief to those burdened with unexpected healthcare expenses not covered by insurance. It allows patients to take advantage of the latest in cosmetic treatments that insurance providers typically don’t cover. Care Credit can be used for major dental procedures like veneers, Invisalign, root canals, ceramic crowns, bite plates, braces, dentures or tooth repair, or for standard, preventative dental care. Using CareCredit for dental care you need, will help prevent more costly, invasive treatments later on. You can also use CareCredit for your preventative care like six-month check-ups, teeth cleaning, sealants, fluoride treatment, and periodontal disease prevention.
While it’s easy to miss appointments or put off dental work because of cost, cutting corners by skipping care can end up costing more than just money. Poor daily care and skipping regular check-ups can and will lead to dental problems and dental problems that are untreated will not only lead to pain and long-term oral health problems like gingivitis, periodontal disease and tooth decay, it can lead to more serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Ask about CareCredit or other payment options in order to maintain proper care and treatments before more serious issues arise.
