The basics

What is HFD?

HFD is a patient financing partner that lets you pay for dental treatment over time in simple monthly payments — a straightforward alternative to putting care on a credit card.

Instead of paying the full cost of care up front, HFD spreads it into smaller monthly payments that fit your budget. It's a helpful option when a treatment isn't covered by insurance, or when your plan only covers part of the cost.

Applying takes only a few minutes and uses a soft credit check, so it won't affect your credit score. Approval looks at more than your score, which means more people qualify.

How it works

Three steps to affordable care

From application to your first visit, HFD is built to be simple.

1

Apply in minutes

Fill out a short application from your phone. HFD uses a soft credit check, so it won't affect your credit score, and you'll usually get a decision right away, with the plans you qualify for shown instantly.

2

Choose your plan

Ask our team about the special financing options on qualifying purchases, including no-interest-if-paid-in-full plans when the balance is paid within the promotional period. Subject to credit approval.

3

Get care, pay over time

Start treatment right away and pay in manageable monthly installments, so you can get the care you need now, not when you've saved up for it.

This is by far one of the best dental offices I’ve visited. The staff is friendly, the office is beautiful, and the dentist is kind, gentle, and very thorough. They answered all of my questions and made sure I felt comfortable throughout my appointment. I left feeling confident in my care and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

The staff did such an excellent job. They were very considerate and kind. I chipped my front tooth and they shaped it back to normal. My teeth actually look better than before.
