How Do Dental Implant Payment Plans Work? A Step-by-Step Video Guide

You’re ready to complete your smile with dental implants, but you might wonder if you can actually afford them. At Brent Bradford DDS, we take affordability seriously. That’s why our practice proudly offers mini dental implants, which cost about half as much as conventional implants. We do even more to make dental implants affordable. We also offer four exciting options for dental implant payment plans. Our front office staff is happy to review those options with you during a free dental implant consultation.

Wondering how the process works? Here’s how dental implant payment plans can help you afford care, in four simple steps.

Step One: Come in for a Free Dental Implant Consultation

First, schedule a free dental implant consultation.

When he sees you in his practice, Dr. Bradford will take time to learn about your goals and what you hope to achieve. He’ll also review your medical history, take a CBCT scan to assess your jawbone, and plan where the dental implants will go.

With this information, Dr. Bradford can develop a personalized treatment plan based on your needs, whether you’re replacing a single tooth, stabilizing loose dentures, or restoring your entire smile with a full arch replacement.

Once you understand your treatment options and their associated costs, our team can help you explore ways to make your care more affordable.

Step Two: Explore Dental Implant Payment Plans

Next, while you’re already in the office for a free consultation, explore your dental implant payment options. We have four financing options at our practice:

CareCredit

CareCredit is a well-known healthcare credit card that offers promotional financing with no interest if you pay in full within the promotional period. Keep in mind this is a deferred-interest option. If you don’t pay the promotional balance in full within the set timeframe, interest will be charged from the purchase date.

Happen (Formerly Known as LendingClub)

Happen offers loans with fixed monthly payments and financing up to $65,000. You can spread payments over 12 years, depending on your approval.

Proceed Finance

Proceed offers loans for dental treatment for up to $75,000, with repayment terms of up to 12 years for qualified applicants.

Cherry

Cherry Finance allows eligible patients to split dental treatment costs into monthly payments, with true 0% APR options available to qualifying applicants.

Our staff can help you check your eligibility and potential financing amount. Those initial checks typically use a soft credit inquiry that doesn’t affect your credit score. Once you know what you’re approved for, you can compare dental implant financing options and pick the best one for you!

Step Three: Complete Your Smile

Once you’re approved for financing and have finalized your payment arrangements, Dr. Bradford can begin your treatment. Instead of paying the full cost out of pocket at once, you can move forward with restoring your smile while spreading payments out.

One advantage of mini dental implants is their minimally invasive placement process. Unlike conventional implants, mini implants typically don’t require large incisions or stitches. This simpler procedure often lets Dr. Bradford place the implants and attach a fully functional temporary restoration in a single visit.

That means you may leave our office the same day with a complete smile, without waiting months for your new teeth. Then, once your custom restoration is ready, Dr. Bradford will replace the temporary teeth with your final restoration.

Step Four: Pay Off Your Care

Finally, you can enjoy your restored smile while paying off your care in manageable monthly installments.

Instead of paying the full cost upfront, you’ll make payments to your financing company according to the terms of your agreement. Be sure to pay on time and understand any promotional interest terms to avoid unexpected charges. Depending on your financing agreement, late payments may also affect your credit score.

With financing, you can complete your dental implant treatment without waiting until you’ve saved enough to cover the entire cost. That means you can enjoy the benefits of your new smile while paying for your care over time.
