We know visiting the dentist can bring up a lot of questions, especially if it’s been a while, you’re worried about cost, or you’ve had a tough experience in the past. At 97 Smiles, we believe you deserve answers that are clear, honest, and free of judgment.
Here are some of the most common questions we hear from patients just like you:
Yes, we accept Medicaid, CHIP, and most major providers, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, and more.
That’s okay. Many of our patients don’t. We offer flexible payment plans through CareCredit, Sunbit, and in-house financing so cost never stands in the way of your health.
Not exactly. Some treatments are more complex, but with our 97 Smiles model, most patients never pay more than $97 per month thanks to affordable financing options.
Not at all. Many of our patients are restarting after long gaps. You’ll be welcomed with kindness and care, never criticism.
Your first appointment usually includes a gentle exam, a cleaning, and digital X-rays (if needed). We’ll also create a personalized treatment plan with clear pricing, explained in plain language.
Yes. We reserve time every day for urgent needs like toothaches, swelling, or chipped teeth. Select offices also have evening and weekend availability.
