Dental implant financing.
Three lenders, run side by side. Most approved instantly.

We work with three healthcare financing partners, CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry, to make sure as many patients as possible can afford the implant procedure they need. We run all three options at your free consultation to find the best fit for your specific situation, and most patients get a decision in under 60 seconds.

We run all three at your consultation. You pick the best fit.

Best for interest-free periods

CareCredit

Promotional interest-free periods on qualifying dental balances. If the balance isn't cleared inside the promotional window, the lender's standard rate applies to what's left. Best for patients with fair-to-good credit who can pay it off within that window.

Typically best for: Promotional interest-free periods
Best for fast approval

Sunbit

Soft-pull pre-qualification. Approves a wider credit profile range than CareCredit. More flexible criteria, with rate and term set per applicant. Most decisions in under 30 seconds.

Typically best for: Soft pull, no score impact to apply
Best for higher amounts

Cherry

Designed for larger procedure amounts. Supports financing up to $50,000+. Flexible term lengths, including short interest-free plans for patients who can pay the balance down quickly.

Typically best for: Built for thin credit files

Approval, interest rate, and term length are set by the lender based on your credit and their current promotional offers, not by Apex. We run all three at the free consultation so you can compare your actual offers side by side.

What you would be financing

Start from the total, not the monthly.

Our prices are published and fixed, so the amount you finance at the consultation is the amount you finance at the end of treatment. Your payment is calculated from that total after insurance, and the lender sets it.

Procedure
Total at Apex
Single Tooth Implant
All-inclusive: implant fixture, custom abutment, porcelain crown, free 3D CT scan.

Financing is provided by third-party lenders, not by Apex Implant Centers. Approval, interest rate, and term length are set by the lender and depend on your credit, which is why we don't publish monthly payment amounts in advance. We run all three lenders alongside your insurance benefits at the free consultation, so you leave with a real number rather than an estimate.

Financing questions

What patients ask about dental implant financing

What financing options does Apex offer for dental implants?+

Three established healthcare financing partners: CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry. Each works differently, CareCredit offers promotional interest-free periods on qualifying balances, Sunbit specializes in faster approvals with no hard credit pull for the application, and Cherry offers more flexible payment plans for higher amounts. We run all three at the free consultation to find your best offer.

What will my monthly payment be?+

We don't quote a monthly amount before you apply, because we're not the lender: CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry each set your rate and term based on your credit, and the balance being financed depends on what your insurance covers. What we can tell you in advance is the total, our prices are published and fixed, so the amount you finance doesn't move between the consultation and the end of treatment. The payment itself is resolved at the free consultation, where you get the actual figure from the lender rather than an estimate from us.

Do I need good credit to get approved?+

No, but your credit profile affects the offer you receive. CareCredit typically prefers fair-to-good credit for its best promotional terms. Sunbit and Cherry specialize in approving patients with credit profiles where CareCredit might not work, they have more flexible approval criteria. Most patients who apply at consultation are approved by at least one of the three. The rate and term attached to any approval come from the lender, not from us.

Are interest-free promotional periods available?+

Yes. CareCredit offers promotional interest-free financing on qualifying dental balances. If you pay off the balance within the promotional period, you pay no interest at all. If a balance is still outstanding when the period ends, the lender's standard rate applies to what remains. The length of the promotional period and the rate that follows it are set by CareCredit based on your application, so we go through your actual offer with you at the consultation. For patients who can clear the balance inside the window, this is usually the cheapest option available.

Can I use HSA or FSA dollars for dental implants?+

Yes. Dental implants are eligible expenses under both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Many of our patients combine HSA/FSA dollars with financing, using pre-tax funds for the deposit and financing the rest. We can provide the procedure documentation needed for HSA/FSA reimbursement.

What if my insurance covers part of the cost?+

Insurance reimbursement reduces the amount you need to finance. Most PPO dental plans cover 50% of dental implants up to an annual maximum (typically $1,500-$2,500). Some plans exclude implants entirely. We run your benefits at the free consultation and tell you exact out-of-pocket cost. Financing then applies only to the portion not covered by insurance.

Can I split payments between financing and HSA/FSA/insurance?+

Yes, this is what most patients do. Common combination: insurance reimbursement + HSA/FSA pre-tax dollars + financing for the remaining balance. Reduces total out-of-pocket cost and keeps the financed amount as small as possible. We help structure the optimal mix at consultation.

What happens if I can't make a monthly payment?+

Contact your financing provider directly, CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry all have hardship programs and modified payment options. They prefer working out modifications over default. Late payments and missed payments will affect your credit. If you anticipate trouble, communicate with the lender early, they have many more options than people realize.

Are there any fees beyond the procedure cost?+

Apex's procedure pricing is all-inclusive, no hidden fees, no consultation fees, no deposit fees. The financing partners may charge their own origination or late fees per their terms (which we explain at signing). The 3D CT scan, consultation, and treatment plan are free. The procedure cost ($1,999 single tooth, $12,500 All-on-4 per arch) is exactly what's financed.

How to think about financing an implant procedure

The right financing decision depends on credit profile, treatment scope, and how soon you want to start.

Most patients evaluating implant financing are choosing between three categories of products: promotional interest-free financing through a healthcare-specific lender (CareCredit being the largest), buy-now-pay-later style instant approval (Sunbit and Cherry), and traditional fixed-rate installment loans through partners like LendingClub or LightStream. Each has different approval thresholds, term lengths, and effective costs once promotional periods end. The right product depends less on your credit score than on how confident you are that you'll pay the balance inside the promotional window, because an interest-free offer that reverts to a lender's standard revolving rate is dramatically more expensive than a modest fixed-rate loan if you carry the balance to the end of the term.

We run pre-approvals with up to three lenders at the consultation, at no cost to you and with no commitment to proceed. The hard inquiries we generate are clustered together and treated as a single inquiry by the major credit bureaus, so your score impact is minimal. Most patients leave the consultation with two or three concrete offers to compare side by side. We deliberately don't publish payment amounts in advance, because the payment is a function of your credit, the term you choose, and what your insurance covers, and all three of those are resolved by the lender at the point of approval rather than by us on a web page. The exact number is yours, based on the offer you accept.

If you have insurance, we run your benefits in parallel and apply any contribution before financing kicks in, that way you finance the actual out-of-pocket cost, not the gross procedure price. For patients using HSA or FSA dollars, we structure the timing of payments so you can deploy current-year balances against the procedure when it makes sense. None of this is templated; we walk through your specific situation at the consultation.
