Financing and Insurance

Financing and InsuranceAt Pike & Valega, DDS, we are committed to bringing high-quality, exceptional dental care to the Poolesville and Rockville communities. Unfortunately, we understand that the cost of dental care often prevents people from seeking treatment. We offer several financing options to make our dental care available to as many people as possible.

Learn more about some of the financing options that may be available to you.

We Work With a Variety of Dental Insurance Providers

Dental insurance is commonly used to help reduce the cost of dental care. We have worked with various dental insurance providers to create a payment system that allows you to access high-quality dental care with minimal delays.

Our dental team is experienced in helping patients understand their dental insurance coverage. Before we begin treatment, we provide you with a detailed, itemized care plan outlining all treatment costs. The care plan outlines estimated fees for treatment, coverage amounts, potential discounts, and expected out-of-pocket expenses. By providing this information in a way that is easy to understand, we can be transparent with you about how much your dental treatment will cost.

Third-Party Dental Financing May Be Available

Many third-party dental financers, such as Care Credit, have low or no-interest medical credit cards that can only be used for healthcare or dental expenses. Some, such as Proceed Finance, offer low or no interest rate loans that can be used to pay for dental treatment. Pike & Valega, DDS accepts Care Credit and Proceed Finance.

Our dental team can provide you with more information about Care Credit and Proceed Finance during your consultation.

“Given my long history of being in the dentist chair, I do believe the service and quality of this dental team is excellent! I’ve lost count of how many crowns and root canal’s I’ve had but hands down this is the best looking crown I’ve gotten so far.

Wanda H

“Dr. Pike is the GREATEST!!! He saved my tooth!!! He saw me right away, he was so kind and calming. I’m not the greatest patient, I was so scared. My tooth broke and I was definitely in pain. I needed a root canal. He knew exactly what to do.”

Lori A

“I have a fear of dentists but I love this place. I feel so comfortable at every visit. Ellen and Dr. Pike are warm and treat their patients like family. I am so glad I found this practice. I recommend them whole-heartedly!
