4. Ask About Payment Options
One of the reasons why many people go for months or years with untreated dental issues
is due to the cost of treatment. Some procedures such as getting clear braces, dental
implants, or dental surgery can be costly. Many people will walk away if they visit the
denture clinic and are told that they require a procedure that they cannot afford.
Postponing treatment can put you at risk or worsen the problem and make treatment more
expensive and complicated. Therefore, don’t immediately assume that you cannot pay for
the procedure. Ask your dentist about the available payment options, mainly if your
insurance is not covering the cost. Some viable options include the following:
In-house payment plans: Some denture clinics have payment plans where you can
finance treatment. These plans are mostly available for treatments that stretch over
weeks or months.
Dentist loans
Credit card
Dental care credit
Bank overdraft
Don’t go back home with an unresolved problem because you cannot afford treatment.
Talk to your dentist, and they will be happy to brainstorm viable options for you to finance
your treatment and take charge of your oral health.
