Acceptable Payment Methods
At Ablantis Dental, we believe that quality dental care should be accessible and affordable. We offer a variety of payment options to accommodate patients who may not be able to pay for their treatment in full at the time of service.
Cash & Check Payments
We gladly accept payments made by cash or check. Paying with cash or check can eliminate service taxes or financing charges associated with credit-based plans.
Dental Insurance
If you have dental insurance—whether through your employer or a personal plan—it can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Many plans cover up to 90% of the cost for routine and preventive services. If you’re not currently enrolled, consider speaking with your health insurance provider about adding a dental plan to help manage costs for basic dental care.
If you have any questions about your insurance coverage or need help understanding your payment options, our friendly front desk team is here to assist you every step of the way.
Care Credit & Credit Cards
More often than not, the total cost of your dental work can be too much to pay all at once. Opening up a line of credit through the use of Care Credit can help you to pay for services in manageable installments. You could also pay for outstanding work with a credit card issued through your financial institution.
