Your first line of defense against preventable oral health issues starts with your toothbrush and your dental floss. While they are important for keeping your teeth and gum healthy, it is not enough. The American Dental Association also recommends you visit your dentist in Metairie twice a year for a cleaning and checkup; however, two-thirds of adults skip these appointments. Often, lack of dental insurance influences the decision to delay routine visits. It is natural to fear the cost of the services, but you have another option. You can keep your smile a priority with an in-house savings plan.
Reduce Your Long-Term Dental Costs
The National Association of Dental Plans estimates only 77% of Americans have dental insurance. If you are among those who do not, it is common to avoid seeing your dentist until after a problem develops. While this may seem like the cost-savings option, it actually increases the amount you will pay over the years.
Every $1 spent on preventive dentistry can save you $8 to $50 on restorative or emergency services. With a cleaning and checkup twice a year, you prevent dental problems from developing in the first place, like tooth decay or gum disease. This reduces the need for a costly or an invasive treatment in the future.
Get Affordable Dental Care
Even if you do not have dental insurance, you can keep your mouth healthy with our in-house savings plan. You can get the high-quality care you deserve for a low annual fee. We believe prevention is the foundation of a healthy smile, which is why we offer plans for individuals and children. We even have one for those with advanced needs, like gum disease.
Depending on the plan you choose, you can enjoy:
- 2-4 routine dental cleanings.
- 2 routine oral exams.
- Bitewing X-rays.
- 2-4 fluoride treatments.
- 1 visit to your emergency visit in Metairie.
- 15% discount on all other services.
Your savings plan will begin on your date of enrollment, so you can visit your dentist right away. Your benefits are activated as soon as you pay the membership fee in full. At the anniversary date of your enrollment, your membership will automatically renew to prevent any interruption to your benefits.
Unlike traditional insurance plans, you will not need to deal with monthly premiums, annual deductibles, or pre-authorizations. There are no yearly maximums or waiting periods, but you cannot use the dental plan in combination with any insurance policy.
