Financing & Payment Options

A smile you'll love, on terms that fit your life.

A new smile is an investment — but the cost of waiting is bigger than the cost of care. We work with trusted financing partners so you can start treatment now and pay over time, with a plan that fits your budget, not the other way around.

No pressure, no obligation

Free consultation, honest pricing.

Every visit starts with a relaxed conversation and a clear plan — no pressure, no obligation, no surprise fees. Once you know exactly what your treatment involves, our team will walk you through every option to pay for it, so you can choose what's most comfortable for you.

Trusted lenders

Our financing partners

We've partnered with three of the most trusted names in patient financing, so nearly every budget and credit background has a path forward.

CareCredit

A healthcare credit card built specifically for care like implants and dentures. CareCredit offers short-term plans with no interest if paid in full within the promotional period, plus longer-term plans with fixed monthly payments — all usable again for future visits, cleanings, and family care.

  • Special financing on qualifying purchases
  • Use it again for future dental needs
  • Quick online application, fast decisions

Proceed Finance

Proceed Finance specializes in financing for larger dental and cosmetic procedures, like full-arch restorations and implant cases. Their fixed-rate installment loans offer predictable monthly payments over terms that stretch treatment costs out comfortably, with options for patients across a range of credit profiles.

  • Fixed monthly payments, no surprises
  • Loan amounts built for bigger cases like full-arch implants
  • Simple application with a quick response

PatientFi

PatientFi offers flexible, technology-driven financing designed around real smiles and real budgets. With a range of term lengths and promotional plans, PatientFi makes it easier to say yes to the treatment you actually want, not just what fits in this month's budget.

Simple & straightforward

How it works

Four easy steps from your first conversation to the day treatment begins.

  1. STEP 01

    Get your free consultation

    We'll examine your smile and build a personalized treatment plan with clear, upfront pricing.

  2. STEP 02

    Review your options together

    Our team will walk you through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and PatientFi side by side, so you can see real monthly payment estimates before committing to anything.

  3. STEP 03

    Apply in minutes

    Each application is quick, secure, and typically gives you a decision the same day.

  4. STEP 04

    Start treatment with confidence

    Once approved, we'll schedule your care and you can begin rebuilding your smile right away.

Making it work

Use your insurance first

If you have dental insurance, we'll help you use it first and finance only the remaining balance — so you're never borrowing more than you actually need.

  • We verify your benefits before treatment begins
  • Financing covers whatever insurance doesn't
  • Clear, written estimates — no surprise balances later
Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my financing for any treatment?
Yes. Our financing partners can be used toward implants, dentures, full-arch restorations, sedation, and most other services we offer.
Will applying affect my credit?
Each lender has its own process. Many offer a pre-qualification step that won't affect your credit score, so you can check your options before applying formally. Ask our team and we'll point you to the right link for your situation.
What if I don't have great credit?
Because we offer three different financing partners, patients with a range of credit backgrounds usually have at least one option available. Our team is happy to help you figure out which one fits.
Can I combine financing with insurance?
Absolutely. If you have dental insurance, we'll help you use it first and finance the remaining balance, so you're only borrowing what you actually need.
Is there a cost to ask about financing?
None at all. Your consultation is always free, and there's no obligation to move forward with treatment or financing.
