The French term mise en place literally translates to “everything in its place.” It refers to the practice of organizing ingredients to make cooking a delicious meal easier and more streamlined. But planning to have everything in its place applies to so much more of life. For instance, if you’re thinking about tooth replacement, it’s helpful to sort out the cost of treatment to make confident decisions about your care. Fortunately, payment plans for dental implants can help you fit your treatment into your budget without stressing your finances.
Once you have everything in its place financially, nothing can stop you from achieving your dream smile!
How Payment Plans for Dental Implants Work
Payment plans for dental implants are simpler than you think. Really, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
First, you need to know how much your treatment will cost. We will break it all down for you during your free consultation at our office. Then, you’ll afford your care by taking out a healthcare loan or signing up for a healthcare credit card. Finally, you’ll enjoy your dazzling smile while paying off your dental implants in convenient, regular installments.
1. Figure Out the Cost of Your Dental Implants
Step one is to figure out how much your dental implant restoration will cost. Some key factors that affect the cost are:
- The number of teeth you’re replacing: A single tooth replacement with a crown is the least expensive, while replacing multiple teeth with a bridge or denture costs more.
- Whether we use traditional or mini dental implants: Mini dental implants are roughly half the cost of conventional implants.
- How many implants you’ll need: We may only need to place one implant to replace a crown, but we might place 2-4 traditional implants or 6-10 mini implants to attach an implant denture.
All of these elements affect the initial cost of your care. Once we know the price, our office checks your insurance to see if your plan will cover any part of your treatment. Even with dental coverage, our patients usually have some out-of-pocket costs. But that’s where step two comes in!
2. Choose a Payment Plan for Dental Implants
Next, to afford your implants, you’ll choose to work with one of multiple trustworthy lending companies we partner with. Usually, they offer promotional financing, such as 0% APR for an introductory period.
One lender that you may choose is Cherry, a buy-now-pay-later healthcare financing company that offers short-term and long-term payment plans. Another option is to take out a healthcare credit card, such as CareCredit or Alphaeon. Once you pay off the balance on your card, you can use the line of credit for other healthcare expenses in the future.
These options help you immediately access funds to pay for your mini implants. In fact, you may qualify for up to 100% of the cost of your treatment. Once you access the money, you’ll pay our office in full when we begin treatment.
As a courtesy to you, when you pay in full upfront for procedures over $1000, we apply a 5% discount! With these options, you can unlock the smile you deserve, even when you thought you couldn’t afford it.
3. Pay Off Your Smile in Manageable Installments
The final step is to repay the credit card company or the healthcare loan over time. With manageable monthly payments, it’s a lot like covering any other bill. That’s the power of a good payment plan: it makes your ideal smile doable.
At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we don’t want upfront cost to be a barrier to your smile goals. We want you to enjoy the benefits of a beautifully restored smile without breaking the bank. And that’s why we’re excited to offer payment plans that make dental implant restoration accessible to more patients.
