Learning More About Dental Financing at Simply Smiles
Hey everyone, this is Dr. Gekht from Simply Smiles. Today we're going to be talking about financing, which is a really big subject. People often think, "Gosh, you can lose your shirt with dental treatment." Hence, I'm wearing a t-shirt right now, and I'll answer some of the common questions regarding dental financing.
If I need a dental procedure but don't have the cash to cover it, are financing options available?
I have many patients who need extensive, costly dental procedures, and it's a lot of money to come up with all at once. Simply Smiles offers a number of different dental finance companies such as Care Credit and Cherry. The best thing would be to get in touch with us, and we can help you with that.
Will I have to pay for my dental procedure up front?
I get many questions from patients who want to know whether they need to pay for dental procedures upfront. When we have a long procedure that requires multiple hours, I want to ensure that we reserve enough time to allow for this procedure to be done. Think about your cross-country flight. It's a 5-hour flight. You have to make sure you reserve the seat that you want and that is comfortable. Some people fly coach, some people fly other, but they want to make sure they get the seat. You can't just show up at the airport and say, "Hey, I'm ready for my vacay." You have to reserve the seat. Call us, and we can help you with that.
What dental financing options are available from Simply Smiles and how do they work?
At Simply Smiles, we can help our patients with different types of financing. The most common one is Care Credit. Many patients know about that. But we also have Cherry, and Cherry has been really helpful in assisting our patients to get their treatment done so they can have the smiles they want, save their teeth, and become healthy. Getting that financing is quite easy. We can walk you through it. It takes minutes. The process is very simple. Just come in and find out.
Does all dental financing require a credit check?
Dental financing does require a credit check. However, we have different companies available for patients with different means. Even if you're unsure about your credit, I'm sure we can match the financing to get you the treatment you need.
Does dental insurance typically cover the cost of most dental procedures?
Oftentimes, patients tell me, "Doctor, good news. I have dental insurance, and they will pay for everything." Yes, it's great to have dental insurance. Dental insurance is very helpful, but it depends on what type of procedure you need. The percentage of what the insurance is going to cover varies, and it's hard to explain in a short video exactly how it's going to work. For that, you need to come in. Let me help you. I have a great insurance coordinator who is amazing at maximizing your dental insurance to ensure you get everything you're paying for.
How can I find out if my insurance will cover the cost of my dental?
I have many patients who call and say, "I don't know anything about dental insurance. How can I find out if insurance is going to cover it?" I don't want you to worry. All you need to do is come in and let us do the hard work. We know the language. Dental insurance speaks a different language, and we know it.
We will help you navigate this. I don't want this to be a barrier for you to not get the smile you need, not to get healthy because we all know that dental health is important. It's not just important because we can smile and eat. This affects your entire body. Let's not put barriers in front of you and your healthier self. If dental insurance is a mystery to you, we hold the key and can help you.
My insurance will only partially cover the cost of my dental procedure. Can financing options help me pay for the rest?
Financing options are a great way to supplement your dental insurance. For things that dental insurance may not cover, we can use financing, and we can do it all right here at Simply Smiles to ensure you're taken care of.
Can Simply Smiles help me find financing options so that I can get the dental care that I need?
Here at Simply Smiles, we are dedicated to getting you the smile you want, healthy teeth, and helping you save your teeth. With your dental insurance and financing, we're going to make it very easy. All you need to do is come in and let us do all the hard work for you.
