One of the biggest reasons people put off dental care isn’t fear of the dentist chair — it’s fear of the bill. If you don’t have dental insurance and you’re dealing with a toothache, a break, or swelling, we want you to know: that shouldn’t stop you from getting help.
Financial Concerns Shouldn’t Delay Emergency Care
Dental emergencies rarely wait for the “right” financial moment. The good news is that untreated problems almost always become more expensive over time, while addressing them early is often simpler and more affordable than people expect.
What Payment Options Look Like Without Insurance
- Clear, upfront pricing before any treatment begins, so there are no surprises
- Self-pay discounts for patients paying out of pocket
- Financing through CareCredit and Cherry, with flexible monthly payments and promotional interest-free periods
- Cash, all major credit cards, debit, Zelle, and FSA/HSA cards accepted
We also accept most major dental insurance plans (Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, and more) if you do have coverage but if you don’t, we’ll walk you through your options before you commit to anything.
A No-Judgment Approach
Whether it’s been years since your last dental visit or this is your first emergency, our team’s approach is the same: no judgment, just care. As one patient shared, “I’ve been putting off dental work for years due to anxiety… they made me feel comfortable and got me out of pain.”
