Payment Options
Dental PPOs
For the betterment of our patients we are honored to accept the majority of Dental PPOs available. We also process insurance paperwork for our clients. You are requested to bring along your insurance papers or card on your first appointment. We do not belong to any insurance company and hence we will only focus on your benefit. The mission of our team is to provide our clients with options that can help them to become healthy through preventive care.
However, all of our clients should understand that ultimately they will be responsible for charges of all the services they are opting for. In case your insurance does not cover any predicted costs, you will be viable to pay the uncovered charges.
Get interest-free financing
You can choose to use CareCredit, which is a credit card especially issued for healthcare services. It bears no interest and also has monthly payment based on low interest charges. We help our clients to pay the interest charges so that they do not have to compromise on their health until they have enough money.
Other Payment Options
We strongly make sure to satisfy our clients and help them out in any way possible. Our staff will guide you on all the treatment plans that are not covered by your insurance to ensure you that they will be reasonably priced. We accept all major credit cards (Discover, Visa, MasterCard), check or cash.
Medicaid
We strong believe in the importance of community and hence we are proud to be one of the very few to be certified to accept Medicaid for our clients in Stamford, CT.
