At Bent Tree Dental, we know that financial pressures can sometimes make it feel like quality dental care is out of reach. Many people find themselves torn between the cost of everyday essentials and the care they know they need for a healthy smile. With expenses rising, it’s easy for dental visits to feel more like a “someday” priority. However, putting off dental care can have long-term effects. Your oral health is too important to let finances hold you back. We believe that a healthy, beautiful smile should be accessible to everyone, so we offer flexible options to ease the path to treatment. Our team is ready to work with you to find loans or payment plans that align with your budget, empowering you to receive the dental care you need when you need it.
Loans for Dental Work: How it Works and How We Can Help
Dental loans and financing options help make quality dental care affordable by breaking down the cost into manageable monthly payments. Rather than paying all at once, these options allow you to spread out the cost. This option makes extensive dental work, like tooth replacement, more accessible.
A dental loan, for instance, is a personal loan used specifically for dental treatment. These loans come with fixed monthly payments, typically over three to five years.
However, at Bent Tree Dental, you can extend your payments over five to ten years, often starting at 0% interest. Third-party financing companies also work with us to provide quick approvals, meaning we can usually secure your financing while you’re still in the office.
If credit concerns are holding you back, our office can still work with you. By leveraging multiple finance companies, we help you get the best possible outcome. Many patients are surprised to find they qualify for financing, even if they initially had doubts. Our mission is to ensure nothing stands in the way of you receiving the care you need for a healthier, brighter smile.
Tooth Replacement Solutions: How Dental Implants Can Help
Tooth replacement can feel like a big step—both financially and physically. As one of the more significant dental investments, it’s understandable if it feels overwhelming. However, it’s worth considering that delaying tooth replacement can lead to a range of potential complications.
Missing teeth can cause the jawbone in that area to gradually shrink. Over time, this jawbone loss can alter your facial appearance, leading to sunken cheeks and premature aging. Plus, when teeth are missing, the neighboring teeth may start to shift. These changes affect your bite and make it harder to clean effectively. These changes can lead to increased plaque buildup, which puts you at greater risk for decay and gum disease.
When it comes to reliable tooth replacement solutions, dental implants are hard to beat. These titanium posts act like artificial roots, stimulating the jawbone and supporting the new tooth just as a natural root would. When Dr. Miller places an implant in your jaw, it helps keep your jawbone healthy and restores both the appearance and function of your smile.
How Mini Dental Implants and Loans Work for You
If you’re considering dental implants, Dr. Miller begins with a free consultation with a 3D CBCT scan of your jaw. This detailed scan gives him a clear picture of your bone structure, allowing him to plan your treatment precisely. We’ll also review financial details with you, offering payment plans and financing options to keep your care within reach.
We’re also pleased to offer mini dental implants for patients seeking a more affordable solution. Mini dental implants are smaller, typically less than 3 millimeters in diameter, compared to the 5-millimeter diameter of standard implants. This compact size allows for a quicker, less invasive placement process, shortening procedure times and reducing associated costs. Additionally, Dr. Miller can often place mini implants in areas with lower bone density without requiring bone grafting. This way, we avoid an extra procedure that would otherwise add to the cost and recovery time.
