Making Dental Care Affordable for Every Family

At Crystal Martin, DDS, in Ellisville, we believe that quality dental care should never feel out of reach. Every family deserves access to routine cleanings, preventive care, and restorative or cosmetic treatments, regardless of insurance coverage or financial circumstances.

We understand that navigating the cost of dental care can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re budgeting for a family check-up, considering a larger procedure like dental crowns or veneers, or planning a cosmetic enhancement, we’re here to make care manageable, predictable, and positive.

No Insurance? No Problem

Not every family has dental insurance, and that shouldn’t prevent you from getting the care you need. At Crystal Martin, DDS, we provide clear, compassionate guidance to help you understand your options and feel confident about your dental care.

We’re proud to be in-network with Delta Dental Premier, and we’re happy to work with most other insurance plans on an out-of-network basis. Even if we’re not in-network, we’ll file claims on your behalf and help you understand your benefits on a case-by-case basis.

If you’re unsure what’s covered or how your benefits work, our team will walk you through it; no pressure, just clarity and support.

Flexible Options for Every Budget

We know that dental treatment can be a significant investment. That’s why we offer flexible solutions for patients with or without insurance:

• Transparent estimates: You’ll know exactly what to expect before treatment begins, no surprises.
• Third-party financing through Cherry: For larger treatment plans such as cosmetic work, dental implants, or restorative care, Cherry allows you to spread payments over time. Many patients qualify for flexible terms, helping make care more manageable.
• Custom payment planning: Whether you’re managing a tight budget or investing in a larger treatment plan, we’ll work with you to create a payment approach that fits your life, not the other way around.

*Financing options are subject to credit approval. Terms and conditions may apply.

At Crystal Martin, DDS, in Ellisville, our goal is simple: help every patient access the care they need without financial stress, so you can focus on your oral health, comfort, and confidence.

Preventive Care Saves Money in the Long Run

One of the most effective ways to manage dental costs is through preventive care. Regular check-ups and cleanings not only keep your teeth healthy but also help avoid expensive procedures later.

At Crystal Martin, DDS, we encourage patients to prioritize:

• Bi-annual cleanings and exams: Catching small problems early reduces the need for complex treatments.
• Gum health maintenance: Preventing gum disease protects your teeth and overall health.
• Early treatment of cavities and sensitivity: Addressing minor issues immediately prevents them from becoming painful or costly.

By investing in preventive care today, families save both money and discomfort tomorrow. Patients often remark that staying proactive with routine dental care is the best financial decision they make for their health.

We Treat You Like Family, Not a Number

At our Ellisville practice, honesty and integrity are at the heart of everything we do. Our philosophy means:

• No upselling: We never pressure patients into treatments they don’t need.
• Multiple treatment options: We present choices so you can decide what fits your goals and budget.
• Personalized care: Each family receives a plan tailored to their needs, priorities, and financial situation.

Dr. Crystal Martin and her team understand that trust is earned, and financial transparency is a key part of building that trust. Families feel comfortable knowing they are in an office that truly cares about their well-being.

Tips for Families on a Budget

Even with insurance or payment plans, smart planning can make dental care even more affordable:

• Schedule routine visits early: Avoid end-of-year insurance deadlines or last-minute treatments.
• Use preventive care wisely: Encourage brushing, flossing, and healthy eating at home.
• Combine family appointments: Saves travel time and ensures everyone stays on track.
• Ask about financing: Don’t hesitate to discuss Cherry or in-office options with our team.

These small steps help families stay on top of dental health while managing budgets effectively.
