How to Find Affordable Dental Care in Madison
TCD Dentists Accept Patients without Insurance!
For one reason or another, you don’t have dental insurance. Maybe it’s not included with your work healthcare plan or maybe no local dentists are in your Participating Provider Network. Many patients will avoid any sort of dental care unless it is an absolute emergency for fear of being refused treatment or being unable to pay. At Total Care Dental in Madison, we know there are many reasons you don’t have insurance. We aim to do everything we can to provide affordable dental coverage and financing options to our patients.
Total Care Dental Accepts Many Payment Options
We accept cash, personal checks, CareCredit cards, Wellness Plan and most credit card providers including American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa. We even offer a pre-payment discount! If you have no dental insurance or simply do not have enough coverage, we have various payment and financing plans to help you get the affordable dental care you need.
When to Visit the Dentist without Insurance
If you don’t have insurance, you can still receive many of our preventative, restorative and cosmetic services without breaking the bank. At the very least, twice annual cleanings are recommended and easily affordable. This is most important because poor oral health can lead to a ton of other health issues and end up being very costly. Our financing plans are all aimed at easing the burden of budgeting for your dental needs.
If you cannot afford two visits a year, make sure you are taking care of your teeth between appointments. Your oral health is very important to your overall well-being, so remember to brush and floss every day for effective prevention.
Visiting the Dentist Saves You Money
Did you know you save money by visiting the dentist regularly? Keeping up with your regular visits prevents costly emergency visits and extensive procedures. If you notice a tooth has become sensitive to hot or cold, it might be a sign you’ve developed a cavity. If ignored because it’s too expensive to get a filling, you could develop an abscess or bacterial infection. The price of a filling is far less than missing work due to illness, a long hospital stay or an emergency root canal. Even if this is not the case, ignoring a minor and inexpensive dental procedure could mean far more expensive treatments and hassle later.
You should always see a dentist right away if you notice of any these 4 signs:
- Pain anywhere in the mouth or jaw
- Chipped or fractured teeth
- Teeth are loose or falling out
- Gum swelling or redness
If you ignore these symptoms, they can worsen and lead to permanent mouth damage. Emergency treatment is always more expensive than our affordable preventative care. Many oral health problems are also indicators of larger health problems. The best way to spend the least amount of money on healthcare is by keeping up with regular dental visits. Total Care Dental will find the best treatment option for you with a payment plan you can afford.
Don’t Wait for Waiting Periods
With many insurance plans through an employer, there is a waiting period for new hires before they can fully benefit from dental insurance. This can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months. As a result, many new employees will wait until this period has passed before seeing a dentist.
If you are having a dental problem during your insurance’s probationary period, you should still go to the dentist. While you may have to pay out of pocket, it is better than your health worsening. Contact the Total Care Dental team and we can work together to create a financing plan that works for you.
Ask a Dentist Which Procedure is Right for Your Budget
Some procedures are more expensive than others. Talk to your TCD dentist to decide which procedures are right for you if cost is a concern. Through a consultation, we can create a plan to ensure your oral health and wallet are in good shape. We want you to have the procedures you need without leaving you broke.
