Please Let me know if you find something. I'm in need of some dental work also, and can't get approved for credit due to lack of proof of employment.
Thanks

If push comes to shove, try Monarch Dental. They have in-house financing.

I tried Monarch. They run a credit check and require proof of employment. Also, Their estimate was ridiculously high.

Have you tried Baylor college of dentistry? I know they used to be a cheap place if you were open to someone learning on you...

You can also try CareCredit which a lot of dentist offices use with a certain timeframe to pay the bill before the finance charges are added....

Apparently Monarch has changed... because they didn't require any proof of income from me. Approved me in house 2 weeks ago.

CareCredit does require good credit, so if the credit is shaky, they will decline.

yeah baylor is tricky though. you have to get in line at extraction clinic at 4-5am because they only take first 15 people at 7am. Hang aropund though if you are in the top 20-25, because a couple of people will get in there and cant afford even the cheap services, or they tell them tooth can be saved with root canal and they opt to leave and do that. morning clinic ONLY pulls teeth. first come first served.

August last year they pulled all of my wisdom teeth (two required surgical extraction, two simple extraction) and a set of x-rays for under $200, when another dentist quoted me $1500 WITH insurance!!!

Since its students, and not a seasoned dentist supporting a bitchy wife, 4 kids and a ferrari habit, they actually treat you better than a real dentist I think. They arent about the fast money.
