Dental Insurance has been in existence for decades. Some people have dental insurance, others do not. Those that have insurance are aware that basic preventive services (cleanings, examinations, x-rays) are covered at 100%. Fillings and more involved procedures (i.e. crowns, bridges, implants) are covered at a lesser rate or not at all. These involved, but necessary procedures, are costly. Annual premiums are also expensive, but the patient’s insurance benefit rarely exceeds $1500. This benefit has NOT increased since I entered practice with my father in 1991.
In response to an increase in dental insurance premiums and a reduction in benefits, we have introduced a plan to help those patients have affordable access to dental care. We call it the “Church Street Dental Plan”. For an annual fee, we provide two basic dental cleanings, two periodic examinations and oral cancer screenings and any necessary x-rays. Further, we offer a discount on any other procedures that need to be performed such as fillings and crowns. This plan gives patients access to care at a reasonable fee.
Initial response to this opportunity has been phenomenal since we introduced it last month.
We invite you to call our office for more information on the “Church Street Dental Plan”.
