First Visit Expectations, Forms, and More!

Thank you for choosing to make Balcones Family Dental your dental home. We understand the importance of convenience in dental care. We hope our patient resources page helps prepare you for your appointment, receive the care you need, and get to know our policies better. For financial questions or clarity, contact us today!

Your First Visit at Balcones Family Dental

Your first visit to our office is not only about our team getting to know your oral health but also about getting to know you! At Balcones Family Dental, we encourage patients to ask questions and express concerns. A first visit typically includes a comprehensive dental exam that may include X-rays. After the exam, one of our dentists will talk with you about the findings, and together, you can create a healthy, effective treatment plan that best meets your dental needs!

Payment Options

We want to remove financial barriers so our patients can get the dental treatment they need when they need it. At Balcones Family Dental, we are a fee-for-service practice. However, we accept a variety of payment options, including cash, checks, debit, and most major credit cards, along with Health Savings and Flexible Spending plans. If you’d like to use dental insurance, we encourage you to contact us about your dental insurance plan so we can help you make the most of your benefits.

Financing Options

For patients in need of more extensive treatment or who need to extend payment over several weeks, we’re happy to share that our office also has financing options available. Our financing options include in-house financing, Cherry Financial, and CareCredit^®.

Cherry Payment Plans

Cherry offers patients an easy and accessible way to finance their dental care with higher loan approval rates and larger loan amounts than typical financing options. The application process is seamless, allowing patients to apply in under 60 seconds, all without a hard credit check, so it won’t affect your credit score. Cherry even offers true 0% APR financing, making it more affordable to get the treatments you need. Whether you’re planning for routine care or a more complex procedure, Cherry can help you manage your dental expenses with flexible, patient-friendly payment options.

CareCredit

CareCredit offers flexible payment plans that can be used to split dental costs into smaller monthly payments. These plans can be used to finance everything from unexpected dental emergencies to cosmetic dental services, and they accrue little to no interest when payments are made on time. Having a budget-friendly payment plan can be the difference between patients receiving the care they need and putting off treatment indefinitely, so we are happy to accept CareCredit. Credit decisions are typically made within minutes, so you can apply and get approved for a payment plan today!
