CareCredit Can Help You Pay for Dental Care

What Should You Know About CareCredit?
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that allows people to pay for their healthcare needs by making monthly payments.
With CareCredit, patients can pay for the cost of procedures, deductibles, co-insurance, co-pays, prescriptions and other out-of-pocket healthcare and dental costs.
With CareCredit, your healthcare provider always gets paid within two days of your visit.
CareCredit may also offer promotional financing, sometimes as low as 0 percent, for healthcare purchases over $200. This can come in handy for new CareCredit users who need a more expensive dental procedure immediately. Depending on your financing option, you won’t be charged interest as long as your balance is paid in full within 6, 12, 18 or 24 months. CareCredit also offers financing for longer periods of 36, 48 or 60 months with fixed monthly payments and reduced APR.
For procedures costing over $1,000, different financing terms may apply so read the fine print carefully.
According to CareCredit, individuals with certain credit scores are more likely to be approved for the CareCredit card. Use this guide to learn more about credit scores, interest rates and more.
