Financing & Insurance Options for Pediatric Dental Patients in Towson, MD

Excellent care can have an affordable price tag

At Favorite Smile Pediatric Dentistry, we know that selecting a pediatric dentist in Towson, MD isn’t just about your child’s teeth—it’s about protecting their overall health and staying within your family’s budget. Our bright, modern office features marble countertops, kid‑friendly décor and ceiling‑mounted TVs, and Dr. Cristina Alarcon uses gentle techniques and sedation dentistry to keep appointments stress‑free. We even take young and special‑needs patients to the operating room at Sinai Hospital when necessary. While this high level of care sets us apart, it doesn’t have to come with sticker shock—we’ve built our practice around making quality dentistry affordable for every family.

INSURANCE:

Insurance & payment options

We believe finances should never stand between your child and a healthy smile. That’s why Favorite Smile partners with most major insurance plans, including private PPO plans and government programs like Maryland Healthy Smiles. Our experienced team will:

  • Verify benefits and file claims. We handle all the paperwork and submit insurance claims on your behalf.

  • Provide a transparent estimate. Before treatment, you’ll receive an estimate of what your insurance is expected to cover.

  • Help you maximize coverage. We work with various insurance providers and explain how to use remaining benefits on preventive care.

  • Adjust accounts if needed. If the insurance payment is different from the estimate, we’ll bill or credit the difference accordingly.

Good to know: Dental insurance is different from medical insurance; benefits are based on contracts negotiated by employers. If you have questions about your specific plan, our front desk is just a phone call away.

Flexible Financing Solutions

Even families without insurance deserve access to excellent pediatric dentistry. Favorite Smile offers several payment options so you can select what works best:

  • CareCredit® Health & Wellness credit card. We accept CareCredit, which allows qualified patients to finance dental care with convenient monthly payments. Ask us how to apply.

  • Major credit & debit cards. For your convenience we accept VISA, Mastercard, American Express and CareCredit.

  • Cash or check. Paying up front? We gladly accept cash and checks.

If you’d like to discuss a payment plan before your appointment, please let us know—our goal is to make dental care accessible for every child in Towson and the greater Baltimore area.
