How to Pay for Your A-List Smile
§
I, for one, believe that price should never be an issue when pursuing an A-List Smile.
Your looks, your health and your emotional well-being are too important to give up on
your dreams because of a few dollars and sense – even a lot of dollars and sense. This
section will help reassure you that there will always be a way to pay for your A-List
Smile, even if it takes a little paperwork, patience and practicality.
Smile Now – Pay Later!
§
Throughout step 4 we talked extensively about what procedures may or may not be
covered by insurance. Most cosmetic or A-List procedures are not covered – or at
least, covered fully – by insurance. The most popular option that people are turning to
in order finance their dental procedures is called CareCredit®.
3. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:
§
Why do doctors offer CareCredit? According to the company website, “Many patients
put off treatments and procedures because they cannot afford to pay. Doctors offer
CareCredit payment plans as a convenient option to normal credit cards, cash or
checks. CareCredit allows the patient to pay over time often without incurring interest
charges instead of a lump sum prior to treatment. Removing the cost barrier often
allows clinicians to focus on optimal treatment for the patient. Not all doctors offer
every CareCredit plan. Once you are a CareCredit cardholder you can discuss with
your doctor which plan works best for you and your budget.”
§
Endorsed by the American Dental Association, the Society for Excellence in Eyecare
and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, CareCredit is offered in dental offices
throughout the country. It offers up to 18 months of no-interest financing and then
11.90% financing up to 5 years. CareCredit can also be used for medical expenses,
eyeglasses and in veterinary offices as well. For more information, visit

§ According to their website, “You can apply online or download and print
the application and take it to your healthcare provider. The application is
quick and easy, and after it’s submitted, you’ll instantly learn if you’re
approved. CareCredit is accepted by over 100,000 providers and is the
nation’s leading financing program... You can search by your doctor’s
name, or if you don’t have a doctor in mind, you can search for doctors
in your area by using the ZIP code search option.”
§ Other dental financing companies include Capital One and Chase. The
above options will allow you to “smile now and pay for it later”! What
next? From dental schools to government programs, if the timing is right
and you fit certain criteria, you may be able to qualify for a variety of the
programs listed below. The information that follows is courtesy of The
