Understanding the cost of dental care is important, and at Atlas Dental Specialists, we’re committed to making quality dental treatments accessible to all our patients. We offer multiple payment and financing options to fit your budget and needs.
We participate with many major dental insurance plans to help maximize your benefits. Our office accepts the following insurance providers:
Please call our office to verify participation with your specific plan, as coverage can vary between different policy types within the same insurance company.
We understand that dental treatments represent an important investment in your health. That’s why we partner with several financing companies to provide flexible payment solutions:
CareCredit – Our most comprehensive financing option that functions like a healthcare credit card. CareCredit can be used for treatments at Atlas Dental Specialists and other healthcare providers. Various promotional financing options are available, including deferred interest plans for qualified applicants.
Cherry Financing – An excellent option for smaller treatment cases, such as crowns, bridges, or other procedures typically ranging around $2,000. Cherry offers the convenience of a soft credit check, which won’t impact your credit score during the application process.
SunBit – Designed to help patients with lower credit scores access the dental care they need. SunBit extends financing options to patients with credit scores as low as 500, ensuring more people can receive necessary dental treatment.
Proceed – A traditional loan option that provides structured payment plans for larger treatment cases. This financing solution offers predictable monthly payments for comprehensive dental work.
We accept various payment methods for your convenience:
Even if we’re not in-network with your specific insurance plan, you may still have out-of-network benefits that can help reduce your treatment costs. Our knowledgeable team can help verify your out-of-network benefits and explain how they apply to your treatment plan.
We occasionally offer special promotions for new patients, particularly at our Shadyside location. These promotions may include comprehensive new patient examinations, CT scans, and full x-rays at reduced rates for out-of-network patients. Contact our office to learn about current offers.
During your consultation, our team will provide a detailed treatment plan that includes all associated costs. We believe in transparency and will discuss all payment options before beginning any treatment. Our goal is to help you receive the dental care you need while staying within your budget.
For questions about insurance coverage, financing options, or to discuss payment plans for your specific treatment needs, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. Our experienced team is here to help navigate the financial aspects of your dental care.
To ensure high-quality care at a reasonable cost, payment is due at the time of service unless prior arrangements have been made. We accept most major insurance plans, and for patients without insurance, we provide flexible financing options. Remember, patients are responsible for fees charged by our office regardless of insurance coverage.
Please bring your insurance card or details to your appointment to expedite processing. While we assist in maximizing your insurance reimbursements, understanding your coverage is key to avoiding surprises.
We offer Pittsburgh businesses a straightforward alternative to traditional dental insurance through our direct membership program. Our business dental membership provides transparent, predictable costs while ensuring your employees have access to comprehensive prosthodontic care without deductibles, waiting periods, or annual maximums.
We understand that not all procedures are fully covered by insurance, which is why we partner with third-party financing providers like CareCredit. This allows you to break your payments into manageable installments, giving you the flexibility to prioritize your dental health without financial stress.
Here at Atlas Dental Specialists, we pride ourselves on our ability to keep you informed about your dental care so you can make the best decision regarding YOUR dental needs. Your complete dental and medical history will be reviewed and a thorough exam will be completed, including:
The doctor will review the findings, sit down with you to discuss the different treatment options, and also take time to listen to your concerns, needs, and desires. They will answer any questions and help you to determine the best course of action for your individual treatment plan.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
No. The American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specialty. Only prosthodontists have advanced training in aesthetics, dental ceramics and porcelains, and smile design.
Prosthodontists receive thousands of hours in literature review, clinical training, and supervised patient care in a three-year residency after receiving their DMD or DDS in dental school.
Conversely, any dentist can advertise themselves as a “cosmetic dentist” with little to no training beyond that which they acquired in dental school. There are a variety of continuing education courses and programs, often only 1 day or a weekend in length, that provide dentists with some basic knowledge in cosmetics. Fellowships and memberships in many cosmetic dentistry groups often only require the payment of annual fees and no further commitment to continuing education.
If you are in need of cosmetic, reconstructive, or dental implant treatments, a prosthodontist can provide you with the highest level of care.
