Lewelling Dental Care Accepts Dental Insurance from Numerous Providers

If you’ve gotten a new job, if you’ve gone onto a spouse’s or family member’s insurance plan, or if your company has made the decision to switch insurance providers, you probably don’t have to worry about whether or not your plan will be accepted in our practice.  If you’re not yet a patient and you’re shopping around for dentists in the San Lorenzo area that take your insurance, then please allow me to welcome you to Lewelling Dental Care.


Even in the case of smaller providers, we accept most dental insurance plans.  The administrative staff here works hard to ensure that our patients get the most out of their insurance and that there are no complications when it comes to getting the care you’re entitled to.


In the rare case that we do not accept your insurance, that doesn’t mean you’ll lack access to affordable, quality dental care at my practice.  For pay-out-of-pocket patients, we offer a monthly payment plan that can be modified based on your individual need.


Me and my practice associates want to ensure than you can continue to see us and receive quality, professional dental care no matter your financial situation.  To find out if we take your specific insurance and to learn more about our monthly payment option, please contact my practice directly by calling 510-276-6040, or visit: http://www.lewellingdental.com.  


Yours in good smile health,

Affordable, Accessible Dental Insurance through Our In-Office Dental Plan

Lack of insurance is a leading cause of neglected dental visits.  When you’re left to pay out of pocket and you simply don’t have the financial flexibility, there are not many options that you have.  This is especially true for my patients who are in need of multiple procedures or dental work that will require numerous visits.  Those costs can really add up and have a detrimental effect on your credit, your savings and other finances.  I am committed to working with all of my patients to ensure that they don’t have to choose between their periodontal health and their budget.  Through Lewelling Dental Care’s in-office dental plan, many of my patients have been able to get the care they need that they otherwise could not afford.


For $21.00 a month, patients are covered for essential periodontal care services at Lewelling Dental Care.  You can enroll at any time and easily switch to an alternative insurance or payment method when it’s available.  If you’re without insurance and you’ve been putting off checkups or necessary dental work as a result, our in-office dental plan can greatly benefit you.


Other financial accommodations we offer include a monthly payment plan, which also allows affordable access to the care you need. 


For more information on how you can enroll in our in-office dental plan, please contact my practice directly by calling 510-276-6040, or visit my website to learn more about the patient care and dental services we offer: http://www.lewellingdental.com.

Dentistry is Affordable with our Monthly Payment Plan

WebMD Health News recently cited a 2008 national survey on oral health.  One of the major conclusions of the study was that it was care cost, not fear, which played a bigger role in neglect of oral health and consistent.  It’s unfortunate that more individuals don’t have the means to afford the care they need.  Lack of income for health care has serious negative impact patients of all age groups.  While the 2008 study was centered on Americans between the ages of 18 and 64, children and seniors have extra special requirements when it comes to promoting good oral health—and cost can be a major concern.  For my patients and those in the San Lorenzo are who are need of affordable dental care, I want you to know that cost shouldn’t come between you and the health of your smile. To make dental care affordable for individuals and families, my practice offers a no down payment, interest free monthly payment plan. 


The monthly payment plan is designed to make dental care accessible and affordable for all of my patients.  I understand that many people are struggling and tightening their spending as much as possible, but I urge you not to sacrifice your oral health in the process.  If you don’t have insurance and you cannot afford upfront cost for the dental care you need, please contact my practice.  We take the time to work with all of our patients to come to a realistic and affordable monthly payment plan that make sense for them.


For complete information on our monthly payment plan and to schedule your visit, please contact my practice, Lewelling Dental Care by visiting: http://www.lewellingdental.com/ or by calling 510-276-6040.


Yours in good smile health (and affordable, quality oral care),
