My Story: How Dental Fillings Helped Alicia Regain Her Confidence

Alicia was known for her infectious laughter, but when her mouth full of metallic fillings started to make her feel self-conscious about her smile, she headed to the dentist. When her dentist suggested she apply for the CareCredit credit card and she was approved, she was able to replace those old fillings with new ones, allowing her to proudly show off her beautiful pearly whites every time she smiles and laughs.

Financing Dental Fillings With CareCredit

When Alicia joined the navy 20 years ago, she had all of her medical and dental care covered by the military. Unfortunately, throughout the years, she developed several cavities and ended up with a mouth full of unsightly metal fillings that started to crumble over time, making her self-conscious about her smile.

After retiring from service four years ago, her civilian dentist recommended that she replace all of her old and failing fillings. While Alicia agreed, she didn't have the funds available to pay for them up front. That's when her dentist suggested that she apply for the CareCredit credit card.

Alicia applied for CareCredit right in the dentist's office and was approved within minutes. She was then able to start using the card that same day and took advantage of its promotional financing.

Now Alicia has all-new fillings with only two old fillings left to replace by the end of the year. And as someone known for her fierce fashion sense and bubbly sense of humor, she's now free to smile and laugh as much as she wants. Alicia also plans to continue to use her CareCredit credit card to pay for her dental care and the veterinary care for her pets.
