You’ve put off visiting the dentist because you don’t have insurance? You’re not alone. Many families skip checkups or delay needed treatment because of cost. And waiting only leads to bigger problems — more pain, more complicated treatment and higher bills down the line.
At Pleasant Smiles Family Dental, we believe dental care should never feel out of reach. That’s why Dr. Vijitha Bandla and our caring team in Cheshire, CT are committed to making dentistry affordable, even if you don’t carry insurance. With special discounts, transparent pricing, and flexible payment options, we’ve built solutions for patients just like you — so you can protect your smile without financial stress.
Why Dental Coverage Isn’t the Only Path to Great Care
Insurance can be good, but it’s not the only way. Many plans have limits, exclusions and waiting periods and patients still pay out of pocket.
For those without insurance, the good news is that a trusted dental office can offer affordable options outside of the insurance model. At Pleasant Smiles, we provide straightforward pricing and discounts for uninsured patients, so you always know what to expect before treatment begins. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a more advanced procedure, we’ll make sure you get the care you need at a cost you can manage.
By focusing on preventive care and catching small issues early, many of our uninsured patients save money compared to those who delay visits because they feel insurance is required. The truth is, you don’t need insurance to protect your smile — you need a dental team that truly cares about making treatment possible.

Payment Options & Flexible Pricing
We know everyone’s financial situation is different, which is why Pleasant Smiles offers flexible ways to manage your dental expenses.

How to Access Care Without Insurance
Getting started is simple. Here’s how Pleasant Smiles supports uninsured patients:
- Schedule a Consultation: We’ll evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and provide an upfront estimate.
- Review Your Options: Together, we’ll go over treatment choices, costs, and available discounts.
- Choose a Plan That Fits: Select from our flexible payment solutions to move forward comfortably.
- Begin Care Right Away: With no insurance red tape, treatment often begins sooner.
Whether you need a routine exam or a complete smile makeover, Pleasant Smiles makes sure lack of insurance never holds you back.
Maintaining Oral Health Without Insurance
Many people without insurance worry about cost — but investing in preventive care now often saves you money later. At Pleasant Smiles, we stress the importance of staying ahead of problems.
- Regular Cleanings & Exams: Catch cavities, gum issues, or wear early.
- Daily Habits: Brushing twice a day, flossing, and limiting sugary foods can dramatically reduce dental expenses.
- Early Visits for Symptoms: Don’t ignore tooth sensitivity or bleeding gums. Small treatments are far more affordable than advanced procedures.
Dr. Bandla often tells patients, “Preventive care is the best insurance you can have.” With our discount options, those preventive visits become easier to afford, protecting both your health and your budget.
Patient Stories
Many of our patients arrive at Pleasant Smiles worried about affordability. One recent patient shared:
“I didn’t have dental insurance and was nervous about costs, but Dr. Bandla’s team explained everything upfront. They offered a discount and a payment plan that made it possible for me to get the treatment I needed. Now I feel confident smiling again — and it was so much easier than I expected.”
Stories like this remind us why we created these options — because no one should miss out on dental care due to cost.
