Financial considerations should not be an obstacle to a beautiful smile. While orthodontic techniques and treatment outcomes have improved tremendously over the past 30 years, orthodontic fees have risen much less than medical costs and those for common purchases such as automobiles, vacations and homes. Improved dental health is only one reason to consider orthodontic treatment. The social and self-esteem benefits of a beautiful smile can be priceless and certainly make orthodontic treatment a real value.
The cost of treatment varies from patient to patient in accordance with the severity of the orthodontic problem. Several financial options are available to fit most budgets. Many people choose to pay a portion up front and then make monthly payments. We offer several different payment options including automatic monthly withdrawals from a checking or savings account, automatic monthly charges to a credit card, or we can provide you with the traditional payment booklet. There wil be no interest charged for financiang treatment costs. Financing with a very minimal down payment can often be arranged in cases of good credit ratings. A discount is offered when the fee is paid in full at the beginning of treatment.
When we have the opportunity to treat several members from the same family, we happily apply a "family member" courtesy discount. This is to reflect our appreciation for the trust inherent in allowing our office to provide orthodontic services to multiple members of a family. Please feel free to discuss any of these options with our administrative staff.
For those patients who have orthodontic insurance benefits available, please supply our office with an updated copy of your insurance card and we will happily file insurance benefits on your behalf.
