Worried about the cost of seeing a dentist in East Providence? At Maple Avenue Family Dentistry, we believe that everyone is entitled to a healthy and attractive smile regardless of their financial position. We’ve designed multiple payment options and work with most insurance providers to make dental treatment accessible for families throughout Barrington, Warren, Providence, and surrounding communities. Let’s explore how we can make your dental care both affordable and convenient.

Insurance Coverage Made Simple

Most Major Plans Accepted

We accept a variety of PPO plans, making it easier for patients from East Providence, Bristol, Middletown, Newport, and surrounding areas to use their existing benefits. Many of our treatments are covered by insurance, and our experienced billing team works directly with your provider to maximize your coverage and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.

Understanding dental insurance can feel overwhelming, but our knowledgeable staff simplifies the process by verifying your benefits before your appointment. We’ll explain exactly what treatments are covered, what your co-pays will be, and how to make the most of your annual benefits.

Insurance Verification and Pre-Authorization

Before your treatment begins, we handle all the paperwork with your insurance company. This proactive approach prevents surprise bills and ensures you understand your financial responsibility upfront. We submit pre-authorizations for major procedures, so you know exactly what to expect before moving forward.

Our team stays current with changing insurance policies and procedures, which means fewer delays and more predictable costs for your family. We’ll even help you understand how to use preventive benefits that many patients overlook.

Simple Payment Solutions

We are committed to providing the most reasonable cost to our valued patients. Payment for services is due at the time of service unless we have made prior arrangements. For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.

For larger treatment plans, we provide detailed cost estimates that break down each procedure, helping you plan and budget effectively. This transparency ensures you never face unexpected charges and can make informed decisions about your dental care.

Financing with CareCredit

If you are interested in financing your dental treatment instead of paying upfront, we accept third-party financing through CareCredit. CareCredit provides patients with many choices for financing and can help turn your healthcare expenses into manageable monthly payments. These programs often feature promotional periods with reduced or zero interest rates, making comprehensive dental treatment more accessible for working families.

An application for CareCredit can be found at their website or you can pick up an application from our office during your visit. Our financial coordinators will walk you through available financing options and help you choose the plan that best fits your budget.
