Orthodontic treatment is an excellent investment in an individual’s health and well being. Because of this, we believe financial considerations should not be an obstacle to obtaining this procedure. Being sensitive to the fact that different patients have different needs, we provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! We offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs:

• Payment in Full
  • A bookkeeping courtesy of 5% or is given for direct payment in full at start of treatment by cash or check (no courtesy for credit card use on this option).

• Office Payment Plan
  • An initial payment of 25% is due to the office when treatment begins.  The balance may be paid through monthly payments with our auto-debit feature.

Our office accepts payments by cash, checks, and Visa, MasterCard and Discover credit cards. We also offer low- and no-interest financing options through our office and outside financing systems. If you have any questions about financing or payment, ask us! We will thoroughly explain your choices and work hard to accommodate your needs.
