How Does CareCredit Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

CareCredit works like a credit card you use to pay for your medical costs, including dental treatments. That means general checkups and cleanings, restorative treatments like crowns and dentures, and much more. Unlike with dental insurance, you can use CareCredit to pay for elective treatments like teeth whitening or porcelain veneers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CareCredit is also a good option for patients who have dental insurance but need a little help paying for out-of-pocket expenses. With over 200,000 enrolled providers across the nation, signing up for CareCredit will broaden your options for receiving quality health, wellness, AND dental care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit their website to find out if you qualify instantly — and, if you do, you can start using your card to pay for medical costs as soon as you receive it in the mail.
