no insurance

[t&j]

i am a diabetic and have many teeth issues. my teeth crack for no reason, mainly in the back. i want to get implants, but they are so expensive. i have mediciad insurance but it stops covering when your over 21 and i am now 24. what should i do cause i have no dental insurance but i really need to be seen?

capital one offers great credit for dental work as long as your doctor is on their list;give it a try,they give you interest free for 1 year and they are very easy to deal with-at least they helped me a lot!!!

I have care credit, its pretty cool!  I was approved for $500 bucks and I have the WORST credit!!!  just go to carecredit.com and apply, you can even see if there's doctors in your area that take it.  Even vets take it!!

unfortunatly most dds wont go by a payment plan for very long these days. i know here in california they use a thing called care credit.  your credit is ran and you can qualify for various amounts.  you then have a time limit depending on the amount borrowed without interest.  good for you.  you may not need implants, you need a consultation to see what needs to be done and how much.  really at this point its a matter of how important it is to you.  i would see patients complain they couldnt afford a filling but tell me about their plasma tv they just bought or the cruise they just took. im not saying you are this way, but it is common.  maybe you can check with your work and see if they offer a dental ins plan. but not all are worth the monthy rates if they dont cover enough of the major work.
