Payment Policy
At Gold Coast Family Dental of Port Washington, we pride ourselves on being able to provide each and every patient with dental services to achieve their individual needs and goals. We want our patients to understand that their oral health and personal well-being come first. Because of this, our dental office offers flexible payment solutions that make it as easy as possible for you to afford the dental procedures not covered by your dental insurance. Most patients are amazed at how affordable a new smile can be!
To allow us to keep our fees as low as possible and minimize costly monthly billing, we request that payment be made at the time of your visit. All major dental work requires a down payment of 50% with the balance payable on a mutually accepted payment plan. For crown and bridge work, payment in full is expected at the time of insertion. The payment schedule and options can be discussed at the consultation appointment.
We also offer zero-interest payment plans. Call (516) 883-4477 for details.
