In-House Dental Discount Plan

In-Office Dental Discount Plan

At Caring Dentistry, we encourage good dental hygiene. In an effort to alleviate rising dental costs, we have developed an in-office dental discount plan for our patients who do not have dental coverage through any third party dental insurance provider 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 benefits, individuals and families seeking private dental insurance often find it too expensive to consider and rarely get a full return of their premium with treatment. Alternatively, our dental savings plan provides benefits for the full scope of treatment at an affordable price to help minimize the cost of dental needs. It also offers portability; you are not tied to any one employer. This is your plan, and it follows you regardless of employment during the year.  Call us at 704-732-2629 to start saving today!

Benefits of our In-House Dental Savings Plan

  • No Annual Deductible

  • No Annual Maximums

  • No Pre-Authorizations Required

  • No Waiting Period or Eligibility Periods for Major Treatment

  • No Missing Tooth Clause Restrictions or Exclusions

  • No Restrictions on Cosmetic Dentistry

Unlike a dental insurance plan, there is no third-party, no deductibles, copays or waiting periods. Enrolling in our In-House Dental Savings Plan 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.

·         Any costs associated with dental treatment are expected to be paid in full.

·         The exams, bitewing x-rays, cleanings, and fluoride must occur within the year of enrollment and cannot be carried over to the next year.
