Making dentistry affordable for all: Four FAQs about paying for your treatment
Quality dental care from an experienced and dedicated dentist should not be just for the select, wealthy few, nor should access to such services be limited to those with dental insurance plans. Led by Drs. Bryce Eagar and Matthew Geddes, Gateway Oral Health Center provides accessible, affordable dentistry to our neighbors and members of our community from across the St. George, Utah, area. We strive to provide options for payment and approaches to treatment plans that fit in well with all budgets. So, you can keep your teeth and gums pain-free, looking great, and functioning well for life. It’s this oral health that also fuels your best overall health.
What if worries about costs have kept me from the dentist?
We are here to help! Regardless of how well they brush or floss, all individuals require regular hygiene appointments. Only professionals like our hygienists can remove stubborn plaque build-up from the teeth. Since this is a major risk factor for oral disease, it is essential to maintain regular check-ups in addition to maintaining good oral hygiene at home. Preventative care is also very cost-effective. We’ll take a peek inside your mouth and may only recommend adjustments to your hygiene routine. These adjustments do not cost a dime. Now, if you need treatment, we are very transparent about costs. There are no unpleasant surprises here. Additionally, our services are of great value. For instance, restorations at our office are built to last. With good oral care, they hold up well and look great for many years before needing to be replaced.
I need a lot of dental work. Do I have to do everything at once?
Absolutely not! We can work with you to develop a treatment plan and schedule that perfectly fits your lifestyle and financial situation. We prioritize more urgent restorative needs and can then go from there. This helps to spread out the cost of treatment over (potentially) many months and is also not as demanding of your time.

Do you offer financing?
Yes! We partner with Cherry, a nearly 5-star payment plan company with a niche in dental and medical financing. There are many benefits to paying for your treatment this way. For starters, Cherry has a high approval rate. Applying is fast and easy. There is no hard credit check (so, no “dings” to your credit score). There are also a range of options to pay down your bill each month and at 0% interest, as long as you adhere to the terms of your financing arrangement.
What if I don’t have insurance?
You are welcome here! We offer a no-strings-attached, hassle-free, and truly affordable alternative to insurance: the Gateway VIP Loyalty Plan. For just $300 a year (just $25 a month), you are entitled to all of the preventive services you’ll likely need. This includes two hygiene visits and two exams, one emergency exam, all dental X-rays, and free nitrous oxide or laughing gas any time you need it during procedures to help you relax. Plus, for anything that isn’t covered by your membership, you are entitled to 15% discounts – on implants, orthodontics, cosmetic services, and so much more.
Everyone is truly a VIP here at Gateway Oral Health Center. Bring your concerns to us. To speak with a member of our team in St. George, UT, call (435) 656-0255 today.
