Care Credit is a line of credit specifically designed to help you pay for healthcare services like medical and dental procedures not covered by insurance. In many cases, they offer special financing options that give you six, 12, or 24 months of interest-free financing if paid in full within that time. Once you have a Care Credit account, you can use it for any healthcare expenses for your or your family.
While you can apply for Care Credit dental financing at our office, we recommend submitting your application ahead of time. It only takes a few minutes to apply and can be done directly on Care Credits website. You should know whether your application has been approved within minutes.
Postponing necessary endodontic care can be harmful to your health and even more costly in the long run. Infection and inflammation that require a root canal, retreatment, or apicoectomy will continue to destroy your tooth, surrounding tissue, and even the underlying bone structure of your mouth. This is the case even if your pain or other symptoms have gone away.
Dont jeopardize your health and your smile by putting off prescribed endodontic procedures. If you arent sure how youre going to afford your care, contact us to go over your payment, insurance, and dental financing options.
