Unexpected Dental Costs
My Dental Plan covers only a portion of the cost of this major dental expense — What can I do?
Major dental procedures can be expensive and can be unexpected. Often even the best Dental Plans only cover a limited amount of the cost and the rest is up to you.
Care Credit can be a solution. Care Credit is different from a regular credit card and you can use it to pay out-of-pocket expenses not covered by medical and dental insurance plans — and special financing options are available that you may not be able to get with other cards. You can learn more and apply online now.
My first experience with Dr. Nykamp was on an emergency basis.
I had broken tooth and was in considerable pain.
I had recently moved back to Grand Rapids after college and an apprenticeship on the east side of the Michigan and not yet established a new dentist as the one I had as a child had retired.
To make matters worse, it was a 4-day holiday weekend!
My brother referred me to Dr. Nykamp and I made a call to his answering service and left a message. My call was returned in minutes! Dr. Nykamp graciously met me in the office later that Saturday morning providing immediate remedial relief.
I have recommended him to others several times and have always had my friends thank me!
