Financial Options

At Westown Dental Care we believe everyone deserves quality oral health care. We realize sometimes budgets get in the way. That’s why we’ve taken steps to keep our fees affordable while maintaining high-quality care. There is no need for dental fees to be sky-high. We keep our fees reasonable so that you can get the care you need.

AFFORDABLE DENTAL CARE BY PRESENTING OPTIONS

If you can’t afford recommended treatment, we understand. There are often several ways to solve a dental problem. We’ll present you with all possible options, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Then we’ll let you decide which is best for you.

For example, if you’re missing several teeth, we won’t try to pressure you to get dental implants. We’ll recommend the implants, but also give you another acceptable option for a fraction of the cost–a removable partial denture. We understand if you can’t afford ideal treatment.

Another way to make dentistry affordable is to do extensive treatment over a period of time. Periodically, patients run into needing more treatments than they can afford, whether because of an accident or avoiding the dentist for many years. If you find yourself in that position, for whatever reason, we’ll help. One way to keep multiple treatments affordable is by prioritizing. We’ll make a list of all the work you need from the most urgent down to the least. Then you can get your work done a little at a time as you can afford it.

Sometimes, when a patient has avoided the dentist for many years, they’re embarrassed to come in. They don’t want to be lectured. We can assure you, we understand the many reasons people sometimes put off dental visits. Our office is a judgment free and lecture free zone. You’ll be welcomed and encouraged.

DENTAL CARE WITH PAYMENT PLANS

Putting off treatment generally ends up costing you more money. If you’ve got an urgent issue, we’ll help. Not only are our fees very reasonable, but we also work with Care Credit to give you low or no-interest payment plans.

Care Credit is different from typical “credit cards”. It’s used solely for medical procedures and lets you pick your terms. And because of the agreement we have with the Care Credit company, interest rates are low and there are no-interest plans available.

AN OHIO MEDICAID DENTIST

Westown Dental Care is happy to accept Medicaid Dental patients. Ohio offers Medicaid dental coverage for patients both over and under the age of 21.

WHAT PROCEDURES CAN A CLEVELAND MEDICAID DENTIST PROVIDE?

Under Ohio’s Medicaid program, dentist’s may cover the following services:

  • Check-ups and Cleanings: Patients under 21 are eligible for a check-up and cleaning every six months. Patients over 21 are provided coverage once per year.

  • Dentures: New dentures and replacement dentures (when medically necessary).

  • Fillings, Extractions, or Crowns

  • Medical & Dental Surgical Procedures

  • Root Canals

OHIO MEDICAID DENTAL COSTS AND REQUIREMENTS

In some cases, there is a required $3.00 co-pay for the procedure. Several of the services, such as dentures and extractions will require prior authorization from the state before we’re allowed to proceed.

RECEIVING PROCEDURES NOT COVERED BY MEDICAID

We’re firm believers in affordable dental care. If you need a procedure that your Medicaid doesn’t generally cover or won’t give the prior authorization, we will offer you a discounted fee or otherwise work with you. We want to do everything we can to help you received the care you need.

CAN I GET BRACES THROUGH MEDICAID?

Ohio’s Medicaid only covers braces for patients under 21 and only under certain conditions. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t work with you. In fact, we give a discount to Medicaid patients who need braces, because we want everyone to receive the care they need.
