What is a Dental Membership?
According to the ADA, one of the biggest reasons most people don’t go to the dentist is cost. As a result, patients often wait a long time before completing simple preventive work that can prevent more expensive procedures later due to neglect.
Dental membership plans are an alternative to dental insurance that allows individuals and families who don’t have dental insurance to receive quality dental care at a reduced cost. Patients pay an annual membership fee directly to their dental practice for preventative care and discounts off other treatments.
Can I See a Dentist Without Insurance?
Yes. You can see the dentist without insurance, but you’ll be paying out of pocket for the services you receive.
What’s the Difference Between Dental Insurance and a Dental Membership?
While dental insurance and dental membership are both helpful in reducing your total dental costs, they vary significantly in terms of the benefits you get and how much you pay for the coverage.
Dental insurance plans typically have deductibles, co-pays, waiting periods, and policy maximums, while dental membership plans have none. Also, dental insurance premiums can cost as much as $450 a year, even if you purchase insurance through your employer, while dental membership plans often cost $20 to $30 per month.
Even though most dental insurance plans include 100% coverage for preventive dentistry, you’ll typically have to pay a portion of the charge for more extensive care. An advantage of a dental membership plan is that there’s no limit to the amount of care you can get during the year. Your membership fees cover 100% of the cost of the included services, and you enjoy a 15% discount on any additional services.
