Does an office near you publish a fee for dental sealants?

Does insurance change the cost of dental sealants?
Every figure on this page is the cost without insurance. A dental plan usually pays part of dental sealants; how much depends on the plan, the yearly maximum and any waiting period, so ask the office to check your benefits before treatment starts.
What these numbers do and do not includeEach fee is for one procedure on one tooth, not the whole visit. An exam comes first, and whatever the tooth needs after that, a filling, an extraction, a crown, is its own line. The fee can also move with what the dentist finds once they are looking at the tooth: a cavity that looked small on the x-ray can need a bigger filling, and an extraction that looked simple can turn surgical. Treat this as a starting point. The exact number for your visit is confirmed before any treatment starts.
Can you pay for dental sealants over time?
Many offices take payment plans or financing such as CareCredit, a medical credit card; terms vary, so read them before you sign. Piedmont Dental lists cash, check, all major credit cards and CareCredit on its payment options page, and says it has no in-house membership plan. Ask the office for one written price for dental sealants before you choose how to pay.
