A recent study found that 1 in 4 people in the United States delay or forgo dental care due to the anticipated cost. Without proper insurance coverage, you may find yourself facing thousands of dollars in care. With that in mind, you may attempt to push pain aside and manage it with over-the-counter pain medications. But our Fletcher Family Dental team wants to change this. 

If you don’t have dental insurance, this doesn’t mean you don’t deserve reliable care. To make dental care more attainable, we offer our patients an in-office plan. If you’ve never worked with a dental team that offers an in-office dental plan, you may wonder what is included in this plan and whether it’s right for you and your loved ones.

In this blog, we’ll explore what our plan offers, how this can save you thousands of dollars on restorative care, and whether it is the right option for you. 

Why Dental Insurance Isn’t the Only Way to Save on Care

When it comes to seeking dental care, many people likely think that they have limited access if they do not have dental insurance. While this may have once been true, it isn’t the case anymore. Many dental offices, including our Fletcher Family Dental office, now offer in-office plans to make regular dental care more attainable to everyone. 

These dental plans are designed to help patients attend their regular dental cleanings. But how does it help you save? When it comes to oral health problems like cavities and gum disease, they don’t immediately jump to severe problems. They grow slowly and quietly. By the time you begin experiencing discomfort, it has likely been building up for quite some time. 

In-office plans are designed to bring you into the office for your twice yearly appointments. During these appointments, your dentist can catch the earliest signs of cavity development and gingivitis. They’ll make oral hygiene suggestions to help stop them in their tracks, saving you from the cost of restorative care down the line. 

What’s Included in Our In-Office Plan?

When you turn to our team at Fletcher Family Dental for care, we want to ensure you have access to the dental appointments you need to maintain great oral health. If you’ve been considering an in-office plan, you can trust that our plan is equipped to help you keep your smile looking and feeling its best. Our in-office plan includes: 

• 2 Dental Cleanings
• 3 Periodontal Maintenance Services
• 2 Periodic Exams
• 1 Bitewing X-Ray
• 1 Child’s Fluoride Treatment

Beyond this preventative care, patients who sign up for our in-office plan are also given a 15% discount on any additional services they need. If your dentist determines that you need fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, or implants, you won’t have to pay quite as much as if you didn’t have the plan to support you. 

How the Plan Helps Reduce Out-of-Pocket Dental Costs

For a lot of patients, the idea of working with a dental insurance company can be daunting. You may be worried due to past negative experiences of high out-of-pocket costs at the end of an appointment. Thankfully, with an in-office plan, the problems that you once dealt with become a thing of the past. When you invest in an in-office dental plan, you can enjoy:  

• No deductibles or copays that traditionally come with insurance.
• No annual maximum, allowing discounted services all year.
• No waiting periods, allowing for immediate dental care. 
• Inclusion of elective, cosmetic, or restorative procedures insurance may not cover. 

In addition to our in-office dental plan, we offer in-office financing for high-cost care. Our goal is to make dental care more affordable and attainable. If our in-office dental plan isn’t right for you, our financing options may be the best option for receiving comprehensive care without overwhelming your budget. 

Preventive Care Benefits That Support Long-Term Oral Health

One of the biggest advantages of our Fletcher In-Office Plan is its focus on preventive dental care. Regular exams, professional cleanings, and routine screenings help identify potential issues before they become more serious and costly to treat. By making preventive services more accessible, our plan encourages patients to stay consistent with their dental visits 

It isn’t uncommon for patients to delay treatment due to financial concern. Preventive dentistry plays a critical role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums while reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Early detection can often mean simpler, less expensive treatments and fewer unexpected dental emergencies. 

In addition to supporting oral health, preventive care may also contribute to overall wellness, as dental health is closely connected to many aspects of general health. With affordable access to routine care, patients can take a proactive approach to protecting their smiles and avoiding larger dental expenses in the future.
