Paying for Dental Services Does Not Have to Be Impossible
Just as every patient’s oral health needs are unique, so is every patient’s financial status. If you’d like to learn more about our affordability and what these costs mean for you, please contact our clinic, and our Patient Care Coordinator would be happy to learn more about your needs.
We understand that not everyone has dental insurance or the means to pay for their care up front, but we also know that good oral health is crucial to your overall health and well-being. We never want finances to stand in the way of getting the care you need, which is why we offer many affordable payment options.
The cost of dentures and other dental prosthetics is no longer an obstacle to a new smile and a new lease on life. At Local Start Dental, we’re proud to offer an affordable path to those in Durham and the surrounding area.
