Have you ever held back from getting the smile you truly want? Maybe because you weren’t sure how you would pay for it or because dental costs felt overwhelming?
Let’s take a breath together and walk through this in a way that feels clear and doable. As your dentist, one of my core beliefs is that financial concerns should never keep you from the confidence, health and joy a beautiful smile can bring to your life.
In this blog, I will outline all the payment options, payment plans and even flexible options you have at Summit Smiles Dental for all your care.
Let Us Handle the Details: Dental Benefits Plans
The first thing to know is yes: we accept all dental benefits plans, and we will file your claims on your behalf. You don’t have to wrestle with paperwork or decipher benefit codes. My team and I are here to help you understand what your plan covers and maximize the benefits available to you. In many cases, routine care, exams, cleanings and portions of more advanced treatments are covered, which can considerably lessen your out-of-pocket costs.
The fact that our practice is in-network with popular providers like Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, Humana, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare and more means it’s highly likely we accept the dental plan you carry. We aim to get you the most coverage possible when planning routine care or more advanced dentistry like implants or smile-design work.
True Peace of Mind: In-House Dental Discount Plan
A straightforward alternative to traditional insurance, our in-house plan delivers meaningful value from the very first visit and lets you pay a simple annual membership fee. Membership includes preventive essentials like cleanings, exams, emergency care and X-rays, plus 20% off additional treatments from cosmetic upgrades to restorative work. Plans are available for adults, families and periodontal care, giving you choices that fit your needs. Unlike insurance, there are no confusing fine print clauses, waiting periods, or surprise limits. It’s designed to be easy to understand and easy on the mind, because peace of mind matters as much as savings and your dental health.
The Ultimate Flex: Financing Plans
If you would prefer regular monthly installments instead of a lump sum, we offer access to patient-friendly financing options like CareCredit. These plans allow you to spread out your treatment costs into manageable monthly payments, sometimes with little to no interest, depending on the plan you choose. Ask us about the options that might be right for you.
Supporting Your Smile, Starting Today
No need to sacrifice your smile goals or wait until “someday.” When it comes to preventive care, restoring comfort and function and more advanced dentistry, we have ways to make it work for you. We will take the time to explain your options, listen to what matters most to you and help you make a plan that feels right.
You know we are a comprehensive family dental practice providing general, cosmetic, restorative and implant dentistry with a sense of connection. In that spirit, we are always committed to offering you thoughtful payment solutions that meet you where you are.
Your most fabulous smile yet is genuinely within reach!
