What to Bring to Your First Appointment

Dental Financing and Payment Plans Available
Not every patient has dental insurance, and not every treatment plan is fully covered even when they do. That's where dental financing Irvine CA comes in. We offer flexible payment plans designed to spread the cost of treatment over time, so you can move forward with care on a schedule that works for your budget.
Financing for Implants and Higher-Cost Treatment
Treatments like dental implants and All-on-4 / All-on-X represent a meaningful investment in your health and confidence, and we understand the total cost can feel like a big decision. Our team is equipped to walk you through implant financing in Irvine step by step, at your pace, so you understand each option before you choose one.
How Our Payment Plans Work
Once we've built your written treatment plan, we'll go over payment options together, including in-house payment arrangements and third-party financing for qualifying patients. You'll know your monthly amount and total cost before you agree to anything.
Transparent Treatment Costs — No Surprise Bills
Every treatment plan at Smile By Design is put in writing before care begins. That means you'll see the recommended treatment, the estimated cost, and what your insurance is expected to cover, all before you decide how to move forward. Patients tell us this upfront approach is one of the reasons they trust our team with bigger decisions, like implants or full-mouth restoration. You can read more in our patient testimonials.
