A Guide to Our Dental Financing Options
At Veda Family Dentistry, we believe that world-class dental care should be within everyone's reach. We also understand that for many families, the cost of dental treatment can be a significant source of stress. Too often, we see patients delay or avoid necessary procedures, from essential fillings to life-changing implants, out of fear of the final bill.
Your oral health is a vital part of your overall well-being, and financial concerns should never be the one thing that stands in your way.
That’s why our team is committed to transparency and compassion in all aspects of our practice, especially when it comes to cost. We have years of experience helping patients navigate their payment choices. This guide is designed to demystify the process and show you the flexible dental financing options we offer to make your care comfortable and affordable.
Understanding Your Financing Pathways
We've partnered with trusted third-party providers and developed our own in-house options to ensure you have a path forward, regardless of your treatment plan or budget. Our goal is to find a solution that fits your specific financial situation.
Third-Party Financing: CareCredit®
One of the most popular and flexible options our patients use is CareCredit. We are a proud partner, and our team can help you with the entire process right here in our office.
What is it? CareCredit is a healthcare credit card designed specifically to cover health and wellness expenses. It can be used for dental procedures, vision, hearing, and even veterinary care.
How does it work? You can apply for CareCredit online or with our help. The application is simple, and you'll typically receive a credit decision within minutes. Once approved, you can use your card to pay for your treatment immediately.
The Key Benefit: The primary advantage of CareCredit is its promotional financing. For qualifying purchases, they offer "no-interest" periods (e.g., 6, 12, or 18 months). This means if you pay your balance in full within that promotional timeframe, you will not be charged any interest. For longer-term needs, they also offer fixed, low-APR monthly payment plans.
This option is excellent for breaking down the cost of a larger procedure (like crowns, bridges, or dental implants) into predictable, manageable monthly payments that fit your budget.
In-House Solutions: The Veda Smile Plan
For our patients without dental insurance, we've created the Veda Smile Plan. This is not traditional insurance. It's a private membership plan designed to make preventative care simple and provide significant discounts on other treatments.
How does it work? You pay a low annual membership fee directly to our practice.
The Key Benefits:
No Hassles: There are no deductibles, no yearly maximums, no waiting periods, and no complicated claims to file.
Preventative Care Included: Your membership typically covers your routine cleanings, comprehensive exams, and all necessary X-rays for the year at 100%.
Guaranteed Discounts: As a member, you'll also receive a significant discount (e.g., 15-20%) off all other dental procedures, from fillings to cosmetic treatments.
This plan is a fantastic option for individuals and families who want to stay on top of their oral health and avoid the complexities and limitations of traditional insurance.
How to Navigate the Financing Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
We know that talking about money can be uncomfortable. Our team is trained to be your partner and advocate, ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Step 1: The Transparent Treatment Plan
Your journey always begins with a comprehensive consultation and exam. Dr. Priya will discuss your dental needs and priorities. Before any treatment begins, our team will provide you with a detailed, itemized treatment plan. This plan outlines all associated costs, so you see the full picture upfront. We believe in a "no-surprises" approach.
Step 2: A Private Consultation with Our Financial Coordinator
This is where we put your mind at ease. You will sit down with our dedicated financial coordinator in a private, comfortable setting. Their entire role is to help you.
They will:
Review your treatment plan and answer any cost-related questions.
If you have insurance, they will explain exactly what your provider is estimated to cover and what your out-of-pocket portion will be.
Clearly present all your dental financing options, including CareCredit and our in-house plan.
Help you compare the benefits of each option based on your specific treatment and budget.
Step 3: Simple Application & Clear Answers
Should you choose a financing option like CareCredit, our coordinator can guide you through the simple application. We're here to help you get the care you need, when you need it. We've guided hundreds of patients through this process and are dedicated to finding a solution that works for you.
