Financial Information

At Northside Dental Care in Bellingham, Washington, we believe high-quality dental care should be accessible to everyone.

We are happy to answer questions and help you find a payment option that works for your budget.

Payment Options

We offer several ways to help make dental care affordable.

Financing with CareCredit

Dental Insurance

Northside Dental Care works with most private dental insurance plans.

Our team will:

• Submit insurance claims on your behalf
• Help you understand your benefits
• Assist you in receiving the maximum coverage available

Please note that we do not bill DSHS plans (Apple Health or Molina).

Understanding Dental Insurance

Dental insurance is often better described as dental assistance rather than full insurance coverage.

Most plans are designed to help with preventive care, such as:

• Routine exams
• X-rays
• Professional cleanings

Some plans may also provide partial coverage for treatments like:

• Dental crowns
• Gum disease treatment
• Other restorative procedures

However, most plans have annual limits and coverage restrictions, so they may not cover the full cost of treatment.

Investing in Your Dental Health

Your dental health is an important part of your overall well-being.

Dental insurance can help with maintenance, but many treatments require an additional personal investment.

Our role is to help you understand your dental needs and recommend the best care for your long-term health.

We will always work with your insurance plan and help you receive the maximum benefit available.
