Dental Insurance and Financing in Chicago
Crowe Dental Associates is a licensed general and cosmetic dental practice at 30 N. Michigan Ave Suite #1405, Chicago, Illinois 60602, serving patients in Chicago and surrounding communities since 1984. We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer financing options so that cost is never a reason to delay the care you need.
We Accept Most Major Dental Insurance Plans
We work with most major PPO dental insurance plans and do our best to make insurance verification straightforward before your first appointment. When you call or submit an appointment request, our team will confirm your coverage details directly with your carrier. You'll know what to expect before you arrive, including any estimated out-of-pocket costs, so there are no surprises at checkout.
Patients without dental insurance are equally welcome here. We offer several ways to make care affordable, including in-house payment arrangements and third-party financing options. You'll find the full details in the sections below. Whether you're covered by a major carrier or paying out of pocket, we'll work with you to find a path that fits your budget and keeps your care on track.
Financing Options That Make Treatment Accessible
We offer access to third-party patient financing so you can start treatment now and pay over time with low monthly payment options. The exact financing provider should be confirmed with our front desk, but we work with established programs that offer flexible terms for a wide range of budgets. There's no reason to put off a filling, a crown, or a more involved procedure simply because you can't cover the full cost upfront.
Financing is available for both general dental care and elective cosmetic procedures, including veneers, Invisalign®, and facial aesthetics. Our front desk team can walk you through financing applications at the time of your consultation, and approval is typically quick. If you'd like to explore your options, come see us at 30 N. Michigan Ave Suite #1405 and we'll walk through it together.

Common Questions About Insurance and Financing
Is Crowe Dental Associates in-network with my dental insurance?
We work with most major PPO dental insurance plans. Call us at 312-263-7822 before booking and our team will verify whether we're in-network or out-of-network for your specific carrier. Out-of-network patients can still receive benefits, since we submit claims directly to your insurer regardless of network status.
How can I check my dental coverage before my first appointment?
Call us at 312-263-7822 with your insurance carrier name and member ID. Our team will contact your insurer on your behalf, confirm the scope of coverage for your planned treatment, and provide an estimated breakdown of costs before your appointment date. We want you to know what to expect ahead of time.
Does Crowe Dental Associates offer financing for cosmetic procedures like veneers or Invisalign®?
Yes, financing is available for both restorative and cosmetic treatments, including veneers, Invisalign®, dental implants, and facial aesthetics. We offer third-party patient financing options with low monthly payments. Ask about financing at your consultation and our team can walk through available options with you at that appointment.
What should I bring to my first appointment for insurance purposes?
Bring your dental insurance card and a photo ID. We handle claim submission directly to your insurer, so no additional paperwork is required from you at the visit. Having your carrier name and member ID ready in advance helps our team verify your benefits before your appointment date and gives you a clearer picture of your costs.
