At Ponder Memory Family Dental, we believe cost should never stand between you and a healthy smile. That’s why we offer flexible financing options designed to fit your budget — so you can get the care you need without the financial stress.
Severe toothaches, broken teeth, and knocked-out teeth cannot wait. Dr. Ponder-Memory offers same-day emergency appointments to get you out of pain fast.
Dental care is one of those things people know they need, but sometimes put off because of cost concerns. Whether it’s a crown, a root canal, or even a long-overdue cleaning, the financial side of dentistry can feel like a barrier. At Ponder Memory Family Dental, we believe that cost should never be the reason someone avoids getting the care they need. That is why we have built our practice around flexible, accessible financial options for patients across Lakeview, Mid-City, and the surrounding New Orleans communities.
We work with a wide range of patients, and we understand that everyone’s financial situation looks a little different.
Payment options designed to work for real families
Whether you have dental insurance, an HSA or FSA account, or no coverage at all, we want to make sure you have a clear path to the treatment you need. We accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to file claims on your behalf, even for plans where we are considered out-of-network. Our team will work with you to understand your benefits and help you get the most out of your coverage.
For patients who are uninsured or underinsured, cost should not mean going without care. We offer in-house payment plans to help spread the cost of treatment over time, making it easier to move forward with the care Dr. Ponder recommends. We are also actively developing a membership discount plan for patients who want predictable, affordable access to routine care without relying on traditional insurance.
Accepted payment and coverage options include:
We are always happy to answer questions about what your specific plan covers before you come in, so there are no surprises.
Getting started with a financial plan at our practice is straightforward, and our team is here to guide you through it.
We will review your insurance coverage before your appointment. When you schedule, our team will confirm your insurance plan and let you know what to expect in terms of coverage so you can plan accordingly.
Dr. Ponder will walk you through your treatment plan and the associated costs. We believe in transparent, honest conversations about treatment. If cost is a concern, this is the time to bring it up so we can find a solution together.
We will help you select the approach that works best for your situation. Whether that means using your insurance, paying with your HSA or FSA, or setting up a payment plan, we will make sure you have a clear picture before moving forward.
Once your financial plan is in place, we focus on your oral health. No last-minute stress, no unexpected bills. You can come in knowing exactly what to expect so you can focus on your health.
