New Patients Are Always Welcome

Becoming a new patient at Riverview Dental Care is simple, and we’re glad you’re here. From your first phone call to your first visit, our goal is to make everything clear and comfortable — no surprises, no confusion, just honest care from a team that treats you like a neighbor.

A Simpler Approach to Paying for Your Care

At Riverview Dental Care we work for you, not for an insurance company — which means we recommend what’s genuinely best for your health without coverage rules getting in the way. It’s a big part of how we keep care honest and personal.

How Insurance Works Here

Every practice handles insurance a little differently, so here’s what you can expect at Riverview Dental Care:

  • We see patients with dental insurance regularly, and our team takes care of the claim paperwork on your end so it’s one less thing to manage.
  • We help you figure out how to fit your dental care in your budget with payment plans and financing that works best for your situation.
  • We do not participate in Medicaid or Medicare.

If you ever have a question about how this works for your situation, just ask — we’re always happy to walk you through it.

Flexible Ways to Pay

Quality dental care is an investment in your health, and we want it to be within reach. Alongside all major credit cards, we offer several financing options so you can move forward with the treatment you need on a timeline that works for you:

  • Cherry — simple payment plans, with interest-free options available for up to 3 months.
  • Alphaeon Credit — an additional financing option for larger or elective treatment.
  • CareCredit — flexible healthcare financing, with interest-free plans available for up to 6 months.

Our team is happy to help you find the option that fits your budget.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

From the moment you arrive, our goal is for you to feel welcome and at ease — never judged, never rushed. Your first visit is really a conversation: a chance for us to understand your concerns, look honestly at your oral health, and explain what we recommend and why. You’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand and what your options are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many of our patients have dental insurance, and we’re happy to use it by handling the claim forms so you don’t have to chase paperwork. What your dentist recommends is based on your oral health, not on what a plan will or won’t approve. Got a question specific to your policy? Our front desk is happy to talk through it with you.

And for bigger treatment, we offer financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon for qualifying patients.

We do not participate in Medicaid or Medicare. We’ll always be upfront about costs before treatment begins, and we offer financing options to help make care affordable.
