Cherry Payment Plans: Dental Financing Made Easy
Fast digital approvals, flexible monthly payments, and options for all credit types — Cherry helps you say yes to the dental care you deserve without financial stress.
What Is Cherry Payment Plans?
Cherry is a healthcare financing platform specifically designed to make medical and dental care more accessible and affordable. Unlike traditional medical credit cards or loans, Cherry offers a streamlined digital application with instant approval decisions and transparent payment terms.
Cherry works with thousands of healthcare providers nationwide — including Best Dental — to offer flexible financing for treatments ranging from preventive cleanings to comprehensive smile makeovers. Their mission is simple: remove financial barriers to quality care.
Why Choose Cherry Payment Plans?
Fast Digital Application
Cherry's entirely digital application takes just 3–5 minutes from any smartphone or computer. No paper forms, no faxing, no waiting weeks. Most applicants receive an instant decision and can begin treatment the same day.
Flexible Plans for Every Budget
Choose from payment terms ranging from 3 to 60 months, with monthly amounts adjusted to your chosen term. Promotional 0% APR periods are available for qualified applicants — compare options before committing.
Options for All Credit Situations
Credit challenges shouldn't prevent quality dental care. Cherry evaluates multiple factors beyond just your credit score, increasing approval chances for patients who might not qualify with traditional lenders.
How Cherry Payment Plans Work
Consult with Your Dentist
During your appointment at Best Dental, your dentist recommends necessary treatments and provides a cost estimate. Ask our financial coordinator about Cherry as a payment option.

Cherry provides an instant approval decision in most cases. You'll see your approved amount and available payment plan options immediately.

Review and compare payment terms, monthly amounts, and interest rates. Cherry shows the total cost for each option so you can make a fully informed decision.

Cherry vs. Other Financing Options
Cherry vs. CareCredit
Both are popular healthcare financing options. Cherry often features a more streamlined digital experience and may approve applicants with lower credit scores. CareCredit has wider provider acceptance, but Cherry's modern mobile app appeals to tech-savvy patients. Both offer promotional financing periods — terms and rates vary by approval.
Cherry vs. Traditional Credit Cards
Unlike general-purpose credit cards, Cherry is purpose-built for healthcare with terms tailored to dental treatments. Cherry offers longer payment terms (up to 60 months) and more generous promotional 0% APR periods. Using Cherry also doesn't affect your overall credit utilization the same way a maxed-out credit card would.
Cherry vs. In-House Payment Plans
Best Dental offers both Cherry and in-house financing. In-house plans may have more flexible approval criteria and no credit check — ideal for very low credit scores. Cherry typically offers larger financing amounts and longer terms, better suited for expensive procedures. View all financing options →
