We think that your oral health is too important to allow financial considerations to get in the way of receiving the care you need when you need it. At Finkbine Family Dentistry, we offer multiple payment options designed to fit your budget.
If there's ever a time when you feel out of your depth or unsure about how you are going to manage dental costs, please call us. We will do everything we can to ensure that you receive important care without a lot of stress or worry.
Refund Policy
You may discontinue treatment and request a refund at any time for any amount that you paid for treatment that you did not receive; provided, however, crown and bridge patients are responsible for the full cost of their treatment plan once preparation of your teeth has begun.

In-House Financing
For patients who would like to stretch out their payments but don't want to commit to third-party financing, we are pleased to offer in-house payment plans. Simply provide us with a credit card to hold securely on file, and we will bill you in interest-free monthly installments for as long as four months. If you are interested in this option, please speak to one of our front desk team members.
CareCredit
You can't really budget for an unexpected dental expense, so what do you do when you find out you suddenly need treatment? At Finkbine Family Dentistry, we are pleased to offer our patients the convenience of interest-free third party financing and other flexible options.
CareCredit is a financing option that works like a credit card for wellness expenses including vision, hearing, and even veterinary! You can choose a repayment period with a monthly amount that fits your budget. Then just pay off the balance in the agreed period, and you won't be charged any interest. Applying is easy, and a member of our team will be happy to help you. You can also apply online at CareCredit.com.

In our office, we schedule appointments in such a way that we are able to give you our undivided attention. Most dental procedures take less than one hour, and we make every effort to see you at the designated appointment time.
We are sensitive to the fact that many people are anxious about dental visits. That is why our team goes out of their way to make every aspect of your experience with us pleasant and free of worry.
An essential part our relationship with you is trust. We take the time to get to know you so we can understand what’s important to you and how we can help. Our team encourages you to ask questions because it’s easier for you to relax when you know your concerns are being addressed.
Most of us have been working in the dental field for decades, and we have helped many anxious patients get the necessary care they need. For some, all it takes to relax is a friendly word or smile. But if you need a hand to hold, we’re here for you too.
However, some people may still feel nervous and need some extra help to relax. If you like, our doctors can prescribe a sedative for you to take before your appointment. When you get to our office, you will feel calm and relaxed, and the stress of your visit will melt away. Just remember that it takes a while for the effects to wear off, so you will need a friend to drive you to and from the office.
Please don’t let anxiety ruin your oral health. We can assure you that you will have a dental visit with us that is more pleasant than you ever thought possible. Please call our Summerville, SC dental office so we can get started!
