At first, the cost of Invisalign can seem steep, but we at Dentistry on the Pines believe everyone should have a beautiful healthy smile regardless of budget. We help our Vaughan patients find ways to pay for Invisalign that fit their budget and don’t break the bank.
An in-house payment plan is one of the ways we help people pay for things. We let you spread out the payments over several months or even years instead of paying the full cost of treatment upfront. Most of the time these plans require a down payment at the start of treatment and then monthly payments that are easy to manage. The specifics depend on how much your treatment will cost and how much you need, but we do our best to make it work for you. Many patients say paying a few hundred dollars a month is much easier than coming up with a few thousand dollars all at once.
Many patients qualify for interest free financing. If you make your payments on time, you only pay for the treatment and not interest. Interest free options are great because you can plan your budget and know exactly how much you’ll pay from start to finish. We go over these terms with you during your appointment so you know everything before you agree to treatment.
Another way to make Invisalign more affordable is to get financing from a third party. These companies specialize in financing healthcare and have a range of plans with different terms and interest rates. Some plans have low monthly payments over a long time, others have shorter terms with larger monthly payments. Usually the application process is easy and decisions are made quickly. We can help you look into these options and find a plan that fits your budget.
If your dental insurance plan covers orthodontics it can save you a lot of money out of your own pocket. Most insurance plans will pay for some of the cost of Invisalign treatment, usually between $1,000 and $2,000 but sometimes more. Some plans pay for Invisalign at the same rate as regular braces, others pay for it at a different rate. We talk directly to your insurance company to check your benefits, file claims and make sure you get the most coverage possible. Our administrative staff takes care of all the paperwork so you don’t have to and it’s clear what your insurance will cover. Teeth whitening can noticeably brighten your smile in just one visit. Professional treatments are safe and more effective than store-bought kits. Vaughan residents can choose in-office or take-home whitening options.
You can also pay for Invisalign treatment with flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts. You can use these accounts to save money from your salary before taxes to pay for medical and dental costs that qualify. Using money before taxes is like getting a discount on your treatment because you don’t have to pay income tax on that money. If your workplace offers an FSA or HSA we can give you the paperwork to pay for your Invisalign treatment with those funds.
Some patients use more than one way to pay for treatment to make it more affordable. For example you could use your insurance benefits to pay for part of the cost, your HSA savings to pay for another part and then set up a payment plan for the rest. This way you can lower your monthly payments and make the whole investment more manageable. Porcelain veneers cover imperfections like chips, stains, or uneven teeth. They’re thin, durable, and custom-made for a natural appearance. In Vaughan, we help patients achieve confident smiles with carefully placed veneers.
We know money problems shouldn’t stop you from getting the dental care you need at Dentistry on the Pines. We’re committed to helping our patients find solutions that work for them as part of our General Dentistry services. Investing in Invisalign is more than just fixing your teeth. A beautiful smile can make you feel better about yourself, make your mouth healthier and make your life better. The treatment is worth more than just the initial cost because of all the benefits it brings.
We also know that maintaining good Cosmetic Dentistry results takes time and work. Invisalign is just one part of keeping your mouth healthy and getting to that point. We help patients see how their orthodontic treatment fits into their overall oral care plan.
