Multiple Financing Partners
We partner with several leading healthcare financing companies to provide flexible payment options for treatments of all sizes. Cherry financing offers promotional periods with 0% interest for qualified applicants, allowing you to spread treatment costs over 24 months or longer terms based on your needs and creditworthiness.
CareCredit remains a trusted option for dental financing, providing extended payment terms for procedures ranging from routine care to complex reconstructive treatments. This established healthcare credit card offers various promotional financing options and can be used for ongoing dental care throughout your family’s treatment journey.
Alphion provides subprime lending options for patients who may not qualify for traditional financing, ensuring more individuals can access quality dental care regardless of their credit history. This alternative financing solution focuses on cash flow capacity rather than credit scores alone.
Monthly Payment Approach
Rather than focusing solely on total treatment costs, we present treatment options in manageable monthly payment terms that fit your budget. For example, a single dental implant may be available for approximately $99 per month through our financing partners, making comprehensive tooth replacement accessible without overwhelming upfront expenses.
Complex procedures like full mouth reconstruction or extensive cosmetic treatments become manageable when broken into monthly payments over extended terms. Our team works with you to identify financing options offering the most favorable terms for your specific situation and treatment plan.
This approach allows you to prioritize your oral health and aesthetic goals without delaying treatment due to cost concerns, ensuring you can address dental issues before they become more complex and expensive.
Insurance Processing and Benefits
As a fee-for-service practice, we work with most dental insurance providers as an out-of-network provider, maximizing your benefits while maintaining our commitment to uncompromising care quality. We process insurance claims on your behalf and provide detailed pre-determinations so you understand your expected out-of-pocket costs before beginning treatment.
Our experienced team helps you navigate insurance benefits, explaining how out-of-network coverage works and what reimbursement you may expect from your specific plan. We file claims directly with your insurance company and provide all necessary documentation to facilitate prompt benefit processing.
Many of our procedures, particularly cosmetic dentistry and complex reconstructive treatments, exceed typical insurance coverage limits. Understanding this upfront allows you to explore financing options that bridge the gap between insurance benefits and your total treatment investment.
Stop hiding your smile – achieve the stunning transformation you deserve with cosmetic treatments and flexible monthly payment plans.
Transparent Cost Communication
We provide detailed treatment estimates before beginning any procedure, ensuring you understand both total costs and available financing options. Our approach eliminates surprise expenses and allows you to make informed decisions about your dental care investment.
Pre-treatment consultations include comprehensive cost discussions, financing option reviews, and payment plan selection to match your preferences and budget. We believe informed patients make better decisions about their oral health care and treatment timing.
Our team remains available throughout your treatment journey to discuss payment options, adjust financing arrangements if needed, and ensure your financial experience remains as smooth and stress-free as your clinical care.

Treatment Investment Planning
Quality dental care represents a long-term investment in your health, confidence, and overall well-being. We help you understand the value proposition of comprehensive treatment versus piecemeal approaches, often demonstrating how investing in quality care upfront saves money over time.
Preventive care and early intervention typically cost less than treating advanced dental problems later. Our financing options make it possible to address dental concerns promptly rather than delaying treatment until problems become more complex and expensive to resolve.
For patients considering multiple procedures, we can coordinate treatment sequencing and financing to optimize both clinical outcomes and payment scheduling. This comprehensive approach ensures you receive the best possible results while managing financial commitments effectively.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, most people are typically trying to accomplish one or more of three things: whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently shaped or sized teeth. Dr. Mullens and Dr. Nguyen can help assist you with your possible options to achieve these goals. Your recommended treatments may include:
Cosmetic Dental Bonding – This treatment is ideal for small changes such as reshaping damaged teeth or covering visible flaws. It is typically among the most affordable treatments, but the results may only last up to five years.
KöR At-Home Teeth Whitening– At home whitening can be done from anywhere and is mid-range in terms of cost. It’s a great treatment for patients looking to brighten their smile faster and more effectively than with over-the-counter whitening products.
Veneers – These can be a bit more expensive, but they are very versatile and can change many aspects of your smile in just one treatment. They can even last up to 20 years with proper care and maintenance.
Metal Free Dental Crowns – If you have dark, metal crowns or fillings, Dr. Mullens and Dr. Nguyen can replace them with durable, tooth-colored restorations that work well and blend seamlessly into your mouth.
Gum Recontouring - This treatment can help reshape your teeth, so they look larger, and your smile appears less “gummy”.
Botox / Dermal Fillers- An excellent way to fill in or relax fine lines and wrinkles that can last for months. These treatments look natural and require minimal downtime (just a few hours).
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
While cosmetic dentistry does seem like a big financial commitment, it can also be a valuable investment in your self-esteem. If you feel self-conscious about your smile or signs of aging on your face, these treatments can be an amazing improvement in your self confidence and self-esteem. This in turn can lead to better relationships, an improved social life, and more confidence to accomplish your professional goals, too!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
While purely aesthetic dental care is not covered by dental insurance, there are often other options available to help make these treatments more budget friendly.
CareCredit– This independent financing program can make your treatment more affordable by splitting up the overall cost into smaller, budget-friendly payments.
Specials– At Distinctive Dentistry by Mullens & Nguyen, we run periodic specials on cosmetic treatments, including professional whitening.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Yes, cosmetic dentistry is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced dentist. Procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and bonding have been practiced for many years, and advancements in techniques and materials continue to enhance their safety and durability. However, as with any medical or dental procedure, there can be risks. It’s crucial that you communicate with us about their medical history, expectations, and concerns. Potential side effects or complications can often be minimized by following post-treatment care guidelines.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a variety of procedures, and modern advancements have made these treatments more comfortable than ever. Many procedures, like teeth whitening, are typically pain-free, while others, like veneers or crowns, have been refined to maximize patient comfort. Dental professionals prioritize the well-being of their patients, using state-of-the-art technology and anesthetics to ensure a pleasant experience. While slight sensitivity or a brief period of adjustment might follow some treatments, these sensations are often temporary and mild. Always communicate with us about any concerns, as we are equipped to make your cosmetic dentistry journey as comfortable as possible.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Cosmetic dentistry primarily focuses on improving the appearance of one’s smile, rather than addressing essential health concerns. As a result, many insurance companies categorize cosmetic procedures as elective and often do not cover them. However, there are exceptions. Some treatments, like crowns or certain types of fillings, may be both aesthetic and functional in nature, leading to partial or full insurance coverage. Coverage varies by provider, policy, and specific procedure. If considering cosmetic dentistry, it’s essential to review your insurance policy or speak directly with your insurance provider to understand what’s covered and any associated out-of-pocket costs.
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
Determining the need for cosmetic dentistry is often a mix of personal desire and professional advice. If you’re self-conscious about your smile due to stained, chipped, misaligned, or missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry might be a solution to enhance your appearance and confidence. It’s not only about aesthetics; some cosmetic procedures also address functional issues. The best approach is to consult with us. We can provide a thorough examination, discuss your goals and concerns, and recommend treatments that align with your aspirations. Remember, the decision is personal; it’s about how you feel and what changes you wish to see in your smile.
