Investing in Your Oral Health: Understanding Your Financial Options
The cost of dental care is often a primary concern for many patients, and it can sometimes be a barrier to receiving necessary or desired treatments. Whether you're considering a routine cleaning, a cosmetic procedure like porcelain veneers, or a transformative solution like dental implants, understanding your financial options is key to making informed decisions for your oral health. Our data shows a significant number of patients searching for "dental financing options," yet many struggle to find clear, transparent information. At Veda Family Dentistry in West New York, Dr. Priya and Dr. Moosavi believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality dental care. We are committed to working with you to make your treatment affordable and stress-free. This guide will walk you through the various dental financing options available at our practice, helping you navigate the investment in your smile with confidence.
Navigating Dental Insurance: Maximizing Your Benefits
For many patients, dental insurance is the first line of defense against the cost of dental care. Understanding how your insurance works and what it covers is an important step in financial planning for your treatments.
How Dental Insurance Typically Works:
Preventative Care: Most dental insurance plans prioritize preventative care, often covering 80-100% of the cost for routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays. This highlights the importance of regular check-ups to prevent more costly problems down the line.
Basic Procedures: Fillings, simple extractions, and root canals are typically covered at a lower percentage, often 50-80% after your deductible.
Major Procedures: More complex treatments like crowns, bridges, and dentures usually have the lowest coverage, often around 30-50%, and may be subject to waiting periods or annual maximums.
Cosmetic Treatments: It's important to note that most dental insurance plans do not cover purely cosmetic procedures, such as porcelain veneers or teeth whitening, as they are not deemed medically necessary. However, if a cosmetic procedure also has restorative benefits (e.g., a crown that improves both function and appearance), a portion might be covered.
Let Us Help You Maximize Your Coverage:
At Veda Family Dentistry, we work with a wide range of dental insurance providers and our knowledgeable team is dedicated to helping you understand and maximize your benefits. We will file claims on your behalf, provide estimated out-of-pocket costs, and answer any questions you have about your specific plan.

Flexible Payment Plans and Third-Party Financing Solutions
For services not covered by insurance, or for patients without dental insurance, we offer several flexible dental financing options designed to fit your budget and allow you to receive the care you need without delay.
In-House Payment Plans:
We understand that unforeseen dental expenses can arise, or that larger treatment plans require flexibility. For certain procedures, Veda Family Dentistry may offer convenient in-house payment arrangements, allowing you to pay for your treatment over time with manageable installments. We encourage you to discuss this option with our front desk team to see if it's suitable for your specific needs.
CareCredit®: Your Healthcare Credit Card:
CareCredit is a popular third-party financing option specifically designed for healthcare expenses, including dental care. It works like a credit card but is used exclusively for health and wellness needs. CareCredit offers various financing plans, including short-term, interest-free options (if paid in full within a promotional period) and longer-term plans with fixed monthly payments. It's an excellent solution for covering out-of-pocket costs for treatments like dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, and more. Applying is easy, and you receive an instant decision.
Major Credit Cards & Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)/Health Savings Accounts (HSAs):
We accept all major credit cards for your convenience. Additionally, if you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) through your employer or health plan, you can use these tax-advantaged accounts to pay for eligible dental expenses, including deductibles, co-payments, and treatments not covered by insurance. Utilizing your FSA or HSA can be a smart way to manage your healthcare budget.
