It’s estimated that one in three Americans is not getting the dental care they need. Some people have legitimate dental phobias, but for others it’s more a “phobia” of losing a whole paycheck in one appointment. Medical and dental treatments can be expensive, but everyone deserves high quality dental care. What can you do if you have no dental coverage? Find a provider with compassion for your situation, who is willing to take extra steps to make payments easier on your monthly budget.

The Care You Need, With or Without Dental Insurance (Duncan, OK)
If you have dental insurance, we will work with your insurer to find out the estimated costs of necessary treatments before we present you with a treatment plan. We are currently in-network with Health Choice and Delta Premier. That doesn’t mean we do not accept other insurance; it just means there is a greater chance you may need to pay some of the treatment costs out-of-pocket.
Whether you have insurance or not, we can provide you with an in-house payment plan that allows you to spread the fees out over several payments. We also offer specials for new patients and new families. We have many patients who take advantage of our financing plans, so don’t be shy in asking for details!
Routine Visits Save You Money
Unfortunately, a common symptom of not having dental insurance is missing out on routine preventive appointments. If you and your family are not getting regular teeth cleanings and exams every six months, however, you are actually more likely to need expensive restorative treatments. Why is this?
Routine visits let us catch cavities and damaged enamel in the early stages–when they are more easily treatable. If a cavity sits neglected for a year or longer, however, you may find yourself needing a root canal or dental bridge to replace the tooth. If you wait until you are in pain to go see a dentist, you are missing out on the best part of dentistry: prevention.
Preventive visits also give us the chance to give your teeth a thorough professional teeth cleaning. This cleaning goes beyond what you can accomplish at home with your usual toothbrushing and flossing, and removes the calcified plaque (tartar) that leads to cavities. Dental cleanings and fluoride treatments ensure your teeth do not develop serious problems down the road. If you maintain a schedule of six-month check-up visits, you are far less likely to have a painful toothache emergency (or lose a tooth) in the future.
We monitor gum health during routine visits, as well, which is crucial to keeping your teeth for life. We also check for signs of oral cancer and other oral health issues.
