Flexible Financing

No Insurance? No Problem.

Through CareCredit, we offer convenient monthly payment plans that make it possible to move forward with the care you need, whether that's a routine cleaning or a full smile transformation.
CareCredit Healthcare Financing
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card accepted at thousands of providers. We use it to offer flexible monthly payment plans with no interest promotional options for qualifying applicants. Approval decisions are typically returned within minutes.
Cash, Check & Major Credit Cards
We accept all major credit cards, cash, and personal checks for any treatment. For larger treatment plans, we're happy to discuss how to sequence care around your budget.
