The treatment you need, when you need it.

During your consultation with our experienced team at the San Francisco Center for TMJ and Sleep Apnea, we can discuss the various financing options we offer. We have created a center where you can expect a budget-friendly approach to comprehensive oral and facial procedures.

Ways patients pay for care here

TMJ and sleep treatment is planned across several visits, so the cost is discussed with you in writing before treatment begins — not in the chair. These are the options available to you, and several can be combined.

Third-party financing

We accept CareCredit, Cherry and Alphaeon Credit. Each offers monthly payment plans, and several carry interest-free promotional periods. Applying takes a few minutes and does not commit you to treatment. Approval, rates and terms are set by the lender, not by our office.

FSA and HSA funds

Care for TMJ disorder and sleep-disordered breathing is generally an eligible medical expense, so FSA and HSA funds can usually be applied — and used alongside a financing plan. Confirm eligibility with your plan administrator.

Medical insurance and superbills

We provide a detailed superbill — an itemised receipt carrying the diagnostic and procedure codes your insurer needs — which you can submit to your medical insurer for reimbursement. This matters more than most patients expect: sleep appliance therapy in particular is frequently billed under medical rather than dental benefits, so a plan with no dental coverage for TMJ may still reimburse part of the care.

Reimbursement depends entirely on your own plan, deductible and benefits. We cannot guarantee that any particular amount will be reimbursed, and we recommend confirming your out-of-network medical benefits with your insurer before treatment begins.

What to expect at your consultation

You leave your consultation with a written treatment plan and what it costs. Nothing has to be decided that day — take it home, check it against your benefits, and ask us anything before you commit.
