Finding a Low-Cost Dental Care

In order, to have low-cost dental care, you need to have an affordable dentist. Notice that we say “affordable dentists” and not “cheap dentists.” Finding a low-cost dentist means not substituting quality for the price.

• The optimal option for low-cost dental care is financing on approved credit (FOAC), which allows patients to make monthly payments with low or no interest. Our practices do offer dental payment plans practices that eliminate the need for an outside lender.

• We take almost all dental insurance plans and are in a contract with them. By using PPO dental provider, your dental care cost can be to a minimum.

• If you do not have dental insurance, consider using Dental Plan. A good dental plan is Lincoln Dental Plans, plan available to patients in Lincoln, NE.

Dental Schools

Many dental schools provide a wide range of dental services at a reduced fee. Most of the work is performed by dental students under the supervision of their teachers. It takes longer for any appointment. But the dental services are offered for low-income families and families that are looking for very low-cost dental care.

Dental Clinics

A free or low-cost dentist can often be found at your local dental clinic. People’s City Mission and Lancaster Health Department/ Dental unit offer low- cost dentists.

Medicaid

Low-income families may benefit from state-funded medical and dental coverage provided by Medicaid. While dental coverage is limited for adults, Medicaid covers most dental services for children under the age of 21 (Medicare does not cover dental care), making dental care free to adults and children that qualify. You can find a dentist that accepts Medicaid insurance.
