Financing Options
Getting the dental care you need should never feel out of reach because of cost.
Flexible Dental Financing Made Simple and Accessible
We know treatment costs can be one of the biggest reasons patients put off the dental care they need, especially for larger procedures. At Friendly Dental Co, we never want a price tag to stand between you and a healthy smile. That is why we offer a range of flexible financing options at both our Dry Ridge and Cynthiana locations, so you can move forward with treatment now and pay for it in a way that fits your monthly budget.

Our team is happy to walk you through each choice and help you find the one that makes the most sense for you. Many of these options offer quick approval and interest-free promotional periods, so you can start your treatment sooner rather than later.

Process
Applying for dental financing with us is straightforward, and our team is here to guide you through every step.

3. Apply and Get a Decision
Once you have chosen an option, applying is quick and simple. Many of our financing partners offer fast approvals, and some, such as Cherry, do not require a hard credit check.

Using Medical Benefits for Surgical Care
Coverage That Can Lower Your Out-of-Pocket Cost
For certain procedures, financing is not the only way to make care more affordable. Some of the surgical treatments we provide, including dental implants and oral surgery, may be covered under your medical insurance rather than your dental plan. This is an option many patients do not realize is available to them.
Because medical benefits can apply to medically necessary surgical procedures, using them may reduce the amount you need to pay out of pocket or finance. That can make a meaningful difference for larger cases such as dental implants and full-mouth reconstruction.
Our team can help you understand whether your treatment may qualify for medical coverage and how it can work alongside our financing options. Combining the two is often the most cost-effective way to move forward with major treatment.
