Payment Options

In our office, we offer high quality care and work hard to offer the most flexible payment options and eliminate billing surprises. Below you will find a list payment plans that we accept. If you don’t see your preferred method on our list, please call our office at 415-421-6766 to find out what other options may be available to you.

• Full Payment: For patients without insurance or a payment plan, the cost for your treatment is due in full at the time of service by cash, check or credit card.
  
• Estimated patient portion with dental insurance: Our office will provide you with an estimated insurance contribution, based on prequalification with your insurer. You pay the estimated patient portion in full prior to the start of service, and your insurance provider reimburses us for the balance. Please note that you will be responsible for paying any balance due after your insurance has been applied. Any remaining cost is your responsibility. Please keep us informed of any changes to your insurance plan.
  
• Flexible Payment Plan: Pay a portion up front, and the rest over an agreed upon time period.
  

*No interest flex plan:* Pay in a short time frame and receive no interest charge.

*Low interest flex plan:* Pay off your bill over a longer period of time with low interest.

• Payment plan with CareCredit: If you need financial assistance to cover your dental treatment, CareCredit provides interest-free loans with no deposit requirements and no annual fee. A payment schedule will be provided to you by CareCredit, and you must make arrangements directly with them to have your treatment covered. Apply online (www.carecredit.com) or in our office.
