You don’t have to sacrifice your oral health due to financial troubles. Our dentist, Dr. Gabriel believes every patient deserves to get the smile of their dreams without going over their budget. That’s why we offer various financing and payment options to help give your teeth the care they need. Our staff is more than happy to assist you with your insurance policy and create a flexible payment plan that compliments your budget.
The cost of your treatment is usually determined during or after your consultation. Dr. Gabriel will evaluate your oral health and consider your medical history to determine the best treatment option for you while also providing an accurate cost estimate. This will also be the opportunity where you can review our various payment options for your procedure.
At Paul B. Gabriel DMD, we accept multiple forms of payment including cash, credit card, checks, and debit. Our Wexford office also works with most main dental insurance companies as well as Medicare. If you’re uncertain whether your insurance qualifies, don’t hesitate to reach out by calling (724) 935-2100. We’ll be more than happy to review your insurance policy and see what benefits you’re entitled to.
We also offer third-party financing to help patients afford essential dental procedures, including dental implants, orthodontics, and much more. These third-party companies can help you get access to loans with lower interest rates and special benefits.
CareCredit® offers patients an array of low-interest financing options to cover the cost of any dental treatment. Applying online is quick and easy, and you may qualify for financial assistance regardless of your dental insurance status. You can contact our office to receive assistance from a helpful staff member by calling (724) 935-2100.
Most dental financing companies accept a wide range of credit scores. However, if yours is above 640-700, you’ll be more likely to qualify for low or no interest rate plans. To learn if you could qualify for dental financing, we recommend contacting CareCredit directly.
Our office works with CareCredit to provide patients with an alternative payment option. Instead of paying one large installment, you’ll be able to finance your treatment and pay in small monthly amounts. Financing can be used whether you have insurance or not, it’s a great option to reduce the financial strain of a larger dental procedure.
CareCredit doesn’t hurt your credit in the long term. In fact, it can even boost your credit score if you make your payments on time. While there may be a slight dip at first, this is due to the fact that a credit check will be run to learn which payment plan you qualify for. As long as your payments are on time, CareCredit won’t hurt your score.
Whether or not your insurance will cover your dental treatment depends on what type of procedure you’ll be undergoing. If it’s for restorative or medical purposes, most companies will either fully or partially cover the cost. This includes dental implants, porcelain crowns, as well as composite fillings. If you’re undergoing a cosmetic procedure, such as teeth whitening or crown lengthening, chances are your insurance company won’t cover the cost.
