At Sullivant Dentistry, we prioritize your understanding of the benefits associated with the dental treatments you need, whether it’s routine teeth cleanings, restorative care like dental fillings, or more advanced procedures such as dental implants, root canals, or oral surgery. This clarity forms the foundation of our financial approach.
Our goal is simple: to provide timely, affordable payment options that make high-quality dental care accessible. No matter your needs, from preventive visits to more complex treatments, we believe your oral health should never be delayed due to financial concerns.
Dental care is an investment in your overall health. Research continues to show a strong connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. That’s why we’re committed to making services like periodontal therapy, extractions, and cosmetic treatments attainable for every patient.
We believe in complete transparency. Before any treatment begins, we’ll walk you through your options, costs, and financial responsibilities, so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
Why Is Transparent Dental Pricing Important?
Understanding the cost of your care upfront helps you make confident, informed decisions. We take the time to clearly explain your treatment plan, what your insurance may cover, and any out-of-pocket costs, so there are no surprises along the way.
How Do We Help Make Dental Care More Affordable?
We offer a variety of flexible payment options to fit different budgets and needs. Whether you’re planning for a routine visit or a more advanced procedure, our team works with you to find a solution that makes your care manageable and stress-free.
What Financial Options We Offer?
CARECREDIT
We offer CareCredit, a healthcare credit card tailored for treatments and procedures not covered by insurance. Once approved, your entire family can use the same card. CareCredit offers two distinct features: every transaction qualifies for a No Interest If Paid in Full Within Promotional Period Payment Option or a Reduced Interest Payment Option. You can use the card at all healthcare practices that accept CareCredit. To apply, you can call 1-800-365-8295 or visit www.carecredit.com.
PREPAY
For estimated charges over $1000, a 5% prepay on the estimated patient portion of the treatment fee will be offered to those making payment in full by cash or check at least three days before scheduled treatment.
PAY AT TIME OF SERVICE
Payment is required in full for treatment provided during single appointments. For extended treatment procedures, the total cost may be divided by the expected number of appointments, with equal amounts due per appointment.
The office manager must arrange and agree upon this in advance.
CREDIT CARD
We accept MasterCard, VISA, Discover and CareCredit.
DENTAL INSURANCE
Insurance coverage varies based on your policy and the premiums paid by your employer. It is one of several savings options available. Still, please note that we cannot control the amount of coverage provided, as it is determined by the agreement between you or your employer and the insurance company.
Ultimately, all fees incurred in our office are the patient’s responsibility. We electronically submit all claims to your insurance company and strive to maximize your benefits.
Based on the information you provide about your insurance plan, we estimate your portion of the treatment cost. We ask for this amount on the day of service. Using a credit card guarantee, any remaining balance expected from your insurance company will be held on your account with a 60-day grace period. If the balance remains unpaid by you or the insurance company after this period, it will be transferred to your credit card.
FAQ
Can I afford cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry offers many different options. Some patients require relatively easy and inexpensive treatments, while others need more extensive procedures to reach their goals. Questions are always answered, and fees are discussed before treatment begins. Out-of-office financing is also available. At Sullivant Dentistry, we need to see that our clients receive the cosmetic dentistry care that they seek, which is why we make financing an option with CareCredit.
Do we accept insurance?
YES, we will gladly submit your insurance after you have met your deductible and co-pay as a courtesy to you and your family. Insurance policies vary in benefits determined by your employer; any remaining balance is your responsibility.
Does Medicare pay on dental?
No, unfortunately dental services are not covered under Medicare.
How much do services cost?
We will gladly give you a cost estimate before work is done; however, in most instances, Dr. Sullivant must see you to determine the best service for your particular need.
