Effective January 1, 2019

In an effort to encourage good dental health and alleviate rising dental costs, we have developed an “In-House” Dental Savings Plan for our patients who do not have dental insurance or find that our plan costs less than their current dental coverage plan.

Because nearly all dental insurance plans require group participation to get any type of price reduction, individuals and families seeking dental insurance on their own often find it too expensive to even consider. Our dental savings plan provides a wide scope of benefits at an affordable price to help minimize the cost of your dental needs. It also offers portability; you are not tied to any one employer. This is your plan and it follows you regardless of where you or your spouse work during the year.

This is NOT dental insurance. Enrolling in our In-House Dental Savings Plans gives you the opportunity to obtain your dental treatment exclusively at our practice for reduced fees. It cannot be combined with dental insurance or other reduced fee dental plans.

To be eligible for regular cleanings, patients must not have been diagnosed with Periodontal Disease. Patients with a history of Periodontal Disease must enroll in the Periodontal Program.
