Financing Options for Cosmetic and General Dentistry


There are a number of benefits offered by restorative and cosmetic dentistry services. Unfortunately, these procedures are not always covered by insurance.

There are times when out-of-pocket expenses will play a role in making your smile straight, white, and strong. At Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry, we never want these considerations to be an impediment to perfecting your smile.

At our Austin cosmetic dentistry office, we strongly believe everyone deserves a healthy and beautiful smile, but recognize elective dental services may seem unaffordable to some patients. To help ensure you are able to achieve the amazing smile you deserve without causing financial hardship, our patient coordinator, Bobbi, will sit down with you during your free initial consultation and discuss your options for financing whichever procedure Dr. Schmid has recommended.

If you are considering your financing options for cosmetic dentistry in Austin, please contact Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry online or by calling 512-329-5967 to schedule a free consultation today.

Insurance Coverage

Many of the general dentistry services offered by Dr. Schmid are covered by insurance. So too are some neuromuscular dentistry services, such as TMJ treatment.

However, insurance coverage comes with a caveat: In over a decade of practice, we have found that insurance-driven care is frequently based upon the least expensive procedure. Denial of coverage is not uncommon when procedures are deemed “unnecessary.”

We are a preferred provider with some insurance companies and will happily process all insurance claims, but you may be sold short of the high-quality dentistry you need and deserve if insurance alone is your preferred method of payment. Because your absolute satisfaction may require more than your insurance deems necessary, we strongly urge you to consider all financing options before deciding to pass on the quality treatments that may be needed to perfect and protect your smile for years to come.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Payment Options

We accept cash for all of our procedures and can discuss the possibility of payment plans during your free initial consultation as well. We also offer financing through CareCredit®, a healthcare financing company that offers generous terms and promotional financing options including 0% APR or low fixed-rate payment plans.

CareCredit puts some restrictions on procedures, but is largely willing to finance cosmetic dentistry treatments. Bobbi will be happy to discuss your CareCredit options and show you how to apply during your free cosmetic dentistry consultation at our Austin location.

Quality Care, Exceptional Results

When choosing a cosmetic dentist, you must consider quality in addition to cost. To ensure your safety and satisfaction, we utilize the latest in dental technology and strive to provide a luxurious and comfortable environment for all of our patients.

Dr. Schmid has received extensive training in cosmetic and general dentistry, including post-doctorate training at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, where he has joined the ranks of only a handful of cosmetic dentists nationally to achieve the designation of Fellow, making him uniquely equipped to provide you with amazing results.

We want to make sure you are completely happy from your free initial consultation through the lifetime of your treatment. We will work with you, taking into account your aesthetic desires and financial abilities, and cater your services to meet all of your needs. Please call us at 512-329-5967 to schedule your appointment today. We welcome patients living in Round Rock, Pflugerville, San Marcos, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and all surrounding areas of Texas.
