Three ways to begin
A path that
fits your plan.
Choose a starting point. Our team can help you understand the details before treatment.
Prepare insurance questions
Cherry financing
Learn about Cherry and ask the office for the practice’s application link. Available plans depend on eligibility and current terms.
Direct payment
Review the accepted payment methods and ask the team for a treatment estimate and payment details before proceeding.
The Cherry path
From questions to a clear decision.
Cherry handles applications and any payment-plan offer on its own site. Legacy helps you understand your treatment estimate and the next step.
Start with the right link.
Call our team for Legacy’s current Cherry application destination. This website does not submit an application.
Review your options.
Cherry determines eligibility and presents available terms. Compare the full cost, down payment, and payment schedule before accepting.
Make your care plan.
Discuss your treatment estimate with Legacy. Any financing decision and checkout happen directly with Cherry.
A financing application is separate from requesting a dental visit. Approval and specific terms are not guaranteed.
Insurance, made clearer
Prepare your insurance questions.
A useful conversation starts with the right questions. Use this optional checklist before calling.
Preparation only. This is not a live eligibility or coverage check.
Nothing is sent or saved. The checklist resets when you leave. Please don’t enter or send personal plan details through this website.

See how costs
can be shared.
Explore a simplified example of how dental costs may be divided between insurance and your portion.
Example: a $1,200 cost, $50 remaining deductible, and 50% insurance share.
$200$5,000
$0$500
0%100%
One cost. Two illustrative portions.
Insurance portion$57547.9% of example cost
Patient portion$62552.1% of example cost
How this example works
- Illustrative cost
- $1,200
- Amount after deductible
- $1,150
The example applies the insurance share to the cost left after the deductible. The patient portion is the total cost minus the insurance portion.
Educational example only — not a treatment quote or insurance estimate. These numbers are not Legacy’s treatment prices or your plan’s benefits.
Actual costs depend on your plan and treatment fees.
What this example leaves out
Actual costs can depend on contracted allowed amounts, network participation, deductibles, annual maximums, waiting periods, frequency limits, exclusions, coordination of benefits, actual treatment fees, and insurance claim determinations. This simplified example does not account for those plan-specific rules.
Discuss your treatment estimate and exact benefits with the office and your insurer. This tool does not verify coverage or connect to patient records.

Common questions
Questions,
answered.
Clear information about insurance, payments, and financing at Legacy.
Do you accept my dental insurance?
Call the office with your insurance company and exact plan name to confirm current participation. The guidance on this page does not verify coverage or establish that your plan is accepted.
Are you in-network with my specific plan?
Please confirm the exact plan and provider network with the office and your insurer before treatment. A carrier can offer different plans, and network status cannot be determined from the company name alone.
What’s the difference between accepting insurance and being in-network?
Accepting insurance does not necessarily mean a dentist has a contract with your plan’s network. Network participation can affect allowed fees and benefits. Ask the office and your insurer about your specific plan.
Will you submit claims for me?
Ask the office to confirm how claims are handled for your plan, what information is needed, and whether you need to take any steps. Your insurer makes the final coverage determination.
What if insurance doesn’t cover a procedure?
Ask the team to explain the treatment fee, any expected insurance contribution, and the amount you may be responsible for before proceeding. You can discuss payment options and any financing terms separately.
Can I receive a treatment estimate before proceeding?
Ask the office for a written estimate before deciding on treatment, including the fee and any expected insurance contribution. An estimate is not a guarantee of the insurer’s final payment.
How does Cherry financing work?
Ask the office for Legacy’s Cherry application link. Cherry’s application process determines which options, if any, are available to you. Review the offered terms before accepting. This website does not submit an application or approve financing.
Does applying with Cherry affect my credit score?
Cherry says its application uses a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score. Cherry also says it reports payment plans and payment activity, including late or missed payments, to the credit bureaus. Review Cherry’s current disclosures and your actual offer before deciding.
Is a down payment required with Cherry?
Cherry says a down payment is due at checkout to start a payment plan, and that it is typically equal to the monthly payment amount. Ask our team for the treatment estimate and review the exact Cherry terms before proceeding.
Can I preview monthly payments here?
This site does not calculate Cherry payments or show a financing offer. Cherry says approved applicants can preview payment options in their Cherry account. The actual plan, payment schedule, and terms are shown by Cherry.
Can I combine insurance benefits with financing?
Ask the office to confirm how an insurance payment and any remaining balance would be handled for your treatment. Any financing is subject to eligibility and current terms; this page cannot confirm a combined arrangement.
What payment methods are accepted?
Legacy accepts cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Cherry financing is also offered, subject to eligibility and current terms. Contact the office with questions about your preferred payment method.
When is payment due?
Please confirm payment timing and any agreed arrangements with the office before your visit. The educational calculator does not set a due date, reserve financing, or create a payment agreement.
