TREATMENT FOR YOUR BUDGET – FINANCING AND INSURANCE INFORMATION

At Appalachian Orthodontics of Lynchburg, we believe everyone deserves a beautiful, healthy smile. Therefore, we make every effort to meet the financial needs of each of our patients. To start, we offer a complimentary consultation, which includes digital images and a complete examination.

During this appointment, Dr. Black examines your teeth, jaw alignment, and bite, using the most advanced X-rays and photographs to aid in the evaluation. Dr. Black will discuss your concerns, goals, and any existing dental issues. Additionally, she will outline potential treatment plans, including the type of braces or aligners that may be suitable. Our complimentary consultation provides an opportunity for you to ask questions, understand the process, and make informed decisions about your orthodontic journey, all without any financial obligation.

Your out-of-pocket investment for the orthodontic treatment depends on several factors, such as the complexity of your case, treatment duration, your orthodontic insurance benefits, etc. At the end of your initial visit, Dr. Elena Black’s treatment coordinator will be happy to discuss the financing options we offer.

We provide a variety of payment options:

• Interest-free financing
• CareCredit
• Cash
• Check
• HSA cards
• All major credit cards for payments.

We’ll help you find out if your insurance covers orthodontic treatment. Many policies have a lifetime orthodontic benefit that is separate from regular dental insurance.

If you provide us with your dental insurance information prior to your visit, we will also be able to do a complimentary check of your orthodontic benefits. At Appalachian Orthodontics of Lynchburg, we work to maximize your insurance benefits and to help make your treatment as budget-friendly and as stress-free as possible.

Remember that all policies are unique, and we’ll review your insurance to help you decide the best course of action. Once treatment starts, we’ll file your claims and accept payment assignments from all companies.

Using your insurance coverage for orthodontic treatment can significantly alleviate your  financial obligation. Many plans offer benefits that cover a portion of orthodontic expenses for braces or clear aligners. By leveraging your insurance, individuals can access necessary orthodontic care while minimizing out-of-pocket costs. By reviewing your insurance benefits, we can make treatment more accessible and affordable for families, ensuring that you receive the orthodontic treatment you need without sacrificing quality.
