There’s a question we don’t always want to ask when it comes to replacing a missing tooth: What will this cost me? Not just in dollars but in sacrifices. Will I have to put off other expenses? Will I need to settle for a lesser solution just to make it work? It’s a question mark that lingers, one that keeps some from moving forward, even when they know they need to. At J. Michael Williams, DDS, we understand that the cost of dental care can feel like a roadblock. It’s not just about the price—it’s about how those numbers affect your ability to move forward with the care you need. That’s why we offer flexible financing options, allowing you to prioritize dental implant solutions without worrying about the upfront expense.
Replacing missing teeth isn’t just cosmetic—it’s about eating comfortably, speaking clearly, and protecting your oral health for the long run. And we’re here to make sure finances don’t stand in your way.
How Does Dental Implant Financing Work?
Dental financing is a simple, practical way to break up the cost of your dental treatment into manageable payments over time. Instead of paying the full amount upfront for your dental implant treatment, you can spread out the expense in a way that works with your budget. This approach helps patients access the dental care they need without added stress or delay—even when insurance coverage is limited or unavailable.
At our practice, we believe insurance policies or financial limitations should never dictate quality dental care. We don’t participate in in-network insurance agreements because we want every treatment decision to prioritize your health—not an insurance company’s bottom line. We take care of all insurance filing for you and provide clear treatment plans upfront so you’re never surprised by costs. On top of that, we offer financing solutions to make your care as accessible as possible.
Your Financing Options
We proudly partner with Cherry and CareCredit to give you flexible payment options:
- Cherry Financing: Cherry works like a personalized payment plan. You can split the cost of your dental care into smaller, budget-friendly monthly payments. Applying is fast—most patients get approved in under a minute—and there’s no hard credit check so that it won’t affect your credit score. To get started, you’ll need a valid ID and a debit card.
- CareCredit: CareCredit is a healthcare credit card specifically designed for medical and dental expenses. It allows you to pay over time with short-term, interest-free plans (when paid within the promotional period) or longer-term plans with fixed interest rates. Approval requires a credit check and once approved, you can continue using it for future dental or healthcare needs.
With Cherry and CareCredit, you can choose the payment plan that best suits your lifestyle. This flexibility makes it easier to say “yes” to the treatment you deserve.
How Does Dental Implant Financing Benefit Me?
Losing a tooth affects more than just your smile. Beneath the surface, your jawbone begins to change almost immediately. Without the daily pressure from chewing, the bone that once supported your tooth starts to shrink—a process called bone resorption. Over time, this can alter your facial structure, make eating more difficult, and even impact your speech.
Dental implants and mini dental implants help preserve the foundation of your oral health. A dental implant is a small titanium post that functions like a natural tooth root. Once we place the implant directly into the jawbone, it forms a stable bond through a process called osseointegration. After it heals, the implant continues to deliver the same kind of stimulation your bone needs to stay strong.
Traditional dentures or bridges rest on the surface and do little to support the jaw. On the other hand, implants actively encourage bone growth while supporting a crown, bridge, or denture. Each bite you take helps maintain the density of your jawbone. As a result, this connection helps to prevent the sunken appearance and structural changes that often follow tooth loss. In practical terms, this means better stability for chewing, clearer speech, and a healthier-looking smile. More importantly, it’s a long-term solution. With proper care, dental implants can last for decades. They’re not just a treatment—they’re a smart investment in your long-term oral health.
