You pay at the time of your visit, and we’ll file your insurance claim for you — your insurance will reimburse you directly based on your plan’s coverage.
Our membership plans make it easy to prioritize your child’s oral health and overall wellness without the stress of insurance limitations or unexpected costs.
We’ll always provide detailed treatment estimates and work with you to find payment solutions that fit your family’s budget and healthcare goals.
Caring for your child’s oral health should never come down to cost. From routine cleanings to more involved restorative or orthodontic treatments, the expenses associated with pediatric dental care can add up quickly, and for many families, out-of-pocket costs are a major barrier to getting their children the care they need. Understanding your financing options ahead of time allows you to focus on what matters most: your child’s health, comfort, and long-term development.
At Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway, we believe that every child deserves access to high-quality, thoughtful dental care, regardless of financial circumstances. Serving families in Castle Hills and throughout San Antonio, our payment options are designed with flexibility in mind so that the cost never has to stand between your child and the care that supports their best growth. We are transparent about dental treatment recommendations, materials, and pricing because you deserve the full picture before making any decisions that concern your child.
Pediatric dental needs don’t always follow a convenient schedule. A broken tooth, an early orthodontic issue, or the discovery of multiple cavities in a single visit can mean an unexpected financial impact. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, untreated cavities are nearly three times more common in young children from lower-income households than in those from higher-income households, highlighting how financial barriers directly affect children’s oral health outcomes.
Delaying treatment, however, often leads to more complex and costly problems down the road. Early intervention in areas like airway development, tooth decay, and bite alignment can have a tremendous impact on a child’s breathing, sleep, nutrition, and confidence. Offering financing solutions is one way we remove these barriers and make it easier for you to get your child the treatment they need now.
One of the most widely used dental financing options available is CareCredit, a healthcare credit card designed to help families manage medical and dental costs over time. CareCredit allows you to break up the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments, often with promotional financing periods that make larger treatment plans far more accessible.
You can apply quickly and conveniently, and many families are approved on the same day. If you’re ready to explore this option, you can find Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway listed directly in the CareCredit provider locator to get started. CareCredit is accepted for a wide range of treatments, including:
When you have this option, you don’t have to postpone a recommended treatment due to timing or budget. CareCredit helps your family move forward with confidence.
For families who are uninsured or seeking an alternative to traditional dental insurance, our in-house membership plan offers a straightforward, affordable way to maintain your child’s dental health throughout the year. Membership plans are a practical solution that provides predictable expenses without the complexity of insurance claims, waiting periods, or annual maximums.
Our membership plan is structured to cover the foundational preventive care your child needs while also offering discounts on additional services. This approach is especially beneficial for families who want consistent, relationship-based care with a practice that truly gets to know their child.
We are proud to serve families as an out-of-network provider, which means we are not restricted by insurance company limitations when it comes to treatment recommendations. While we do not bill insurance directly, we gladly provide you with a detailed claim form you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many families find that out-of-network benefits cover a significant portion of these expenses.
We encourage families to contact their insurance provider in advance to understand their out-of-network benefits and reimbursement rates. Our team is happy to help you navigate this process so there are no surprises, allowing you to proceed with more confidence and less stress.
Transparency is at the heart of everything we do. Before any treatment begins, we discuss exactly what is being recommended, why we recommend it, and what it will cost. You will never feel pressured, and you will always have the information you need to make the decision that is right for your family.
Whether your child needs a new patient exam, preventive care, or more involved restorative work, we are committed to making sure that this path feels clear and manageable.
At Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway, our goal is to build lasting relationships with the families we serve by offering care that is transparent, minimally invasive, and rooted in your child’s overall wellness.

Many dental insurance plans include out-of-network benefits that can help offset the cost of your visit. Coverage varies by plan, but we’re happy to help you check your benefits before your appointment so you have a clear picture of what to expect.
You pay for your visit at the time of service. We then submit a claim to your insurance company on your behalf. Your insurer will review the claim and send any reimbursement directly to you based on your plan’s out-of-network coverage.
Yes, we offer multiple payment options, including in-house membership plans, CareCredit financing, Cherry payment plans, and custom arrangements. We work with families to create payment solutions that fit their budget while ensuring children receive necessary care without delay.
Absolutely! All dental services qualify for FSA and HSA reimbursement. We provide detailed receipts with the proper coding needed for these tax-advantaged healthcare accounts, helping you maximize your healthcare dollars.
Our team provides thorough documentation and proper coding with every claim to support timely processing. If a claim is denied, we can provide additional records to assist with your appeal, though the appeals process is handled between you and your insurance company.
Insurance companies typically reimburse based on procedure codes rather than specific materials used. For example, a filling is covered, whether we use traditional amalgam or biocompatible composite materials. This allows you to choose holistic options while still receiving insurance benefits.
