Financing: Cherry, Sunbit and CareCredit

Pay for dental treatment over time with Cherry, Sunbit or CareCredit, or use your FSA or HSA card.

At a glance

We accept three financing options: Cherry, Sunbit and CareCredit. Each lets you pay for dental treatment in monthly payments instead of all at once, if you are approved. You can also use an FSA or HSA card.

Ask at the front desk or call (832) 612-2831. You can apply for financing after you get your written treatment estimate.

How does applying for dental financing work?

  1. Get your exam and written estimate so you know the treatment cost and what insurance is expected to pay.
  2. Choose Cherry, Sunbit or CareCredit and apply with the lender. Our front desk can show you how.
  3. Review the plan the lender offers, including the monthly payment and total cost.
  4. If you accept, schedule your treatment. You pay the lender directly each month.

What can I finance?

Financing can be used for treatment such as root canals, crowns, bridges, dentures, implants and gum treatment, as well as your share of the cost after insurance. Our published self-pay prices are on the dental prices page.

Is financing right for me?

Financing can help when you need treatment now, such as a cracked tooth or an infected tooth, and do not want to wait. It is still a loan, so compare the total cost with paying over time from savings, or using an FSA or HSA. If you have insurance, check your remaining annual maximum first. See insurance we accept, and our FAQ for common payment questions.

When to call us

Call (832) 612-2831 if you have questions about financing, want a written estimate before applying, or have tooth pain and are worried about cost. Delaying treatment for an infection can make it more costly later. We’re open Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, 9am–3pm.

Frequently asked questions

Does Richmond Dental Care offer in-house payment plans?

Our financing options are through Cherry, Sunbit and CareCredit. We also accept FSA and HSA cards.

Will applying affect my credit?

That depends on the lender and the type of check it uses. Ask the lender or read its application page before you apply.

Can I use financing together with insurance?

Yes. Insurance pays its share, and you can finance the remaining balance if you are approved.

Can I apply before my appointment?

You can, but it helps to have your written estimate first so you know how much to apply for.
