CareCredit
CareCredit is a third-party program that allows you to finance the cost of your dental treatment. Since there's no waiting period with CareCredit, you can get the critical care you need today and make smaller monthly payments until the balance is paid off. You can customize CareCredit by choosing the length of time you need to pay off the balance (typically 6 or 12 months), and the payment amount that fits your budget. If you pay the balance in the agreed period, CareCredit will not charge you any interest.
In addition to dentistry, CareCredit works like a credit card for many of your wellness needs including vision, hearing, dermatology, and even veterinary expenses for your pet. You can apply for CareCredit at our Chesapeake dental office by speaking to a member of our team or apply directly online at CareCredit.com.
If you’re an adult and you want to correct crooked or crowded teeth, you have options. Using invisible braces at our Chesapeake, VA dental office, we can address these limited alignment issues without the need for metal braces.
At Bennett A.Thomas, DDS and Associates, we offer ClearCorrect and Smart Moves invisible braces. Both are similar to Invisalign using the same technology and clear plastic aligners to move your teeth. But ClearCorrect and Smart Moves tend to be less expensive than Invisalign, and ClearCorrect is produced here in the US.
Limited orthodontic treatment involves wearing customized trays that move your teeth progressively into the desired position. We start by taking digital impressions of your teeth that our dentists use to plan your treatment, and this plan is used to create a customized series of aligners.
We instruct you to wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. You will repeat this process every two weeks until you use all your aligners and your treatment is complete.
Treatment with invisible braces has many benefits when compared to metal brackets and wires. The trays are crystal clear, so most people won’t notice you’re wearing them. They’re also removable so you can eat your favorite foods and brush and floss easily. Just be sure to wear the trays for at least 22 hours a day, and you may be able to complete your treatment in as little as 12 to 15 months.
