dentist East Providence

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.

Maximizing Your Dental Benefits

Annual Benefit Optimization

Most dental insurance plans operate on a calendar year basis with annual maximums that reset each January. Our team helps you strategically plan treatments to make the most of these benefits, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars by timing procedures appropriately.

We’ll review your remaining benefits during each visit and suggest ways to optimize your coverage. For families with multiple members, we can coordinate treatment schedules to ensure everyone receives the care they need while maximizing insurance utilization.

Preventive Care Advantages

The majority of dental insurance plans cover preventive services like cleanings and exams at 100%, with no deductible required. Taking advantage of these preventive dental benefits not only keeps your teeth healthy but also helps detect problems early when they’re less expensive to treat.

Regular checkups can prevent minor issues from becoming major procedures, ultimately saving you money while maintaining optimal oral health. Our preventive approach focuses on keeping treatment costs manageable through early intervention and education.
