Orthodontist, Dr Dawn Wilhite, Mooresville, NC, Financial

Treatment Includes

Diagnostic Records:
This is a way of measuring and diagnosing the patient’s needs and determining the most effective treatment plan.

Active Treatment:
This includes the placement of appliances, as well as the maintenance and treatment of appliances. It also includes any normal, minor emergencies, and any x-rays needed in order to provide the most comprehensive care possible.

Retention Phase:
Upon completion of orthodontic treatment, appliances are removed, final records are done, and retaining appliances (retainers) are placed. Patients are seen periodically over the next 12 months and retaining appliances are monitored and adjusted at these visits as needed.

It is our goal to make your orthodontic experience in our office as pleasant and comfortable as it can possibly be. Our friendly office staff is here to help you with any financial questions or concerns you may have. The cost of treatment varies depending on the severity of the problems. Treatment cost and payment options will be discussed prior to starting treatment. As a courtesy to our patients we offer several different payment options to accommodate most financial situations.

Our options for payment are as follows:

Payment in Full- A 7% bookkeeping courtesy discount is given when the account is paid in full with Cash or Check at the start of treatment.
In-House Interest Free Financing- Interest free financing is offered with automatic payments. A down payment is collected at the start of treatment and the remaining treatment cost is financed over the estimated treatment time. For your convenience monthly payments are drafted from your checking or savings account or charged on the credit of your choice.
No Down Payment & No Interest- We offer 18 & 24 months No-Interest payment plans with Chase Health Advance. For more information visit their website @ www.chasehealthadvance.com.
