Paying for dental care should never be the reason you put it off.
At Northside Family Dentistry, we believe the cost of care should never be the reason a family delays treatment. Whether you have insurance or not, we offer flexible ways to pay that are designed to make high-quality dental care genuinely accessible. Our team is happy to walk you through every option before your appointment so you can make a plan that works for your budget.
We offer patient financing through Cherry, a third-party financing provider that allows you to split the cost of your dental treatment into manageable monthly payments. Cherry is designed to make care more accessible, with a quick online application and straightforward approval process.
Cherry financing is a great option for patients who want to move forward with treatment without waiting or paying everything upfront. Whether you need a single procedure or a more involved treatment plan, Cherry gives you a flexible way to budget your care on your own terms.
Ask our front desk team about Cherry when you call to schedule, or bring it up at your appointment and we will walk you through how to get started. As we get our Cherry account fully established, we will update this page with a direct application link.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans and are happy to verify your benefits before your visit so there are no surprises at checkout. Bring your insurance card to your first appointment and our team will handle the verification for you.
We also accept HSA and FSA cards, cash, personal checks, and all major credit cards. For patients without traditional dental insurance, our in-house membership plan provides access to preventive care and discounts on additional services. Veterans and first responders receive a special discount as a thank-you for their service to our community.
If you have questions about what your insurance covers or want to talk through payment options before booking, our team is happy to help. Reach out to our Joplin, Missouri office and we will get you the information you need.
