Those who live or work in Yorkville (IL) desire affordable healthcare just as any other American does. Dental care is an integral part of a personal healthcare plan.
At the same time, the cost of dental care – including for insurance coverage with sometimes limited benefits – can remain prohibitive for some patients. According to a recent survey by the State of Oral Health Equity in America:
96% of adults know the health of the mouth is related to the rest of the body
More adults identified cost as a reason they are likely to avoid future care in 2022 (43%) than in 2021 (38%)
The American Dental Association identifies cost as a top reason people don’t visit the dentist. COVID-19 only amplified the tendency: Some statistics suggest that nearly one in three Americans haven’t seen a dentist since the pandemic ended.
A private dental treatment plan allows patients with no or limited insurance to save money on care such as periodic cleanings and check-ups, fluoride treatments, fillings and crowns. While a private dental plan does not replace full dental coverage, it can help keep proper care accessible and affordable.
Individual dental plans can be particularly useful for students, retirees and those who have limited or no dental coverage through work (including self-employed people). Others who can benefit from private dental plans are those with high-risk medical conditions or in the midst of a major life change such as the loss of a job or the birth of a child.
In addition to discounting dental care, a private dental plan favors patients by offering:
no pre-authorization requirements
no exclusions for pre-existing conditions (certain restrictions may apply)
no lifetime caps
tax deductibility
If you live or work in Yorkville and are looking for affordable dental care, Oswego Dental Group offers patients our Private Membership Plan. Through the plan, you receive discounts and benefits for dental service such as cleanings and oral exams. By providing what you can budget for, the plan helps you avoid having to pay the higher full cost of dental care out-of-pocket.
In addition to administering the private dental plan, we work closely with you to help you make your dental-service decisions. You don’t need to contact a third party for more information: We assist you with your questions about plan coverage, discounts and changes to your coverage.
Because the plan is based on the direct patient-dentist relationship, you enjoy an immediate connection to your care. All services under your individual dental plan are performed at our office. If we ever determine you would benefit from further treatment with a specialist not covered by the plan, we will continue to support and advise you in referring you to the proper professional within our relationship network.
If asked, most patients in Yorkville would agree that dental planning and financing are best made between them and their dentist. Including a third party can sometimes tend to limit and complicate a patient’s ability to acquire and pay for the care that’s needed.
We designed the Oswego Dental Group Private Membership Plan to provide you and your family with affordable preventive dental coverage owned and administered by your dentist. In addition to excellent preventive dentistry, the plan offers budget-friendly access to both basic and major dental procedures such as crowns, bridges and implant services. It even helps with root canals, which some individual dental plans do not include.
You and your family maintain access to quality dental care without having to file claims, seek approvals, pay deductibles and endure extended waiting periods.
When you enroll in the private dental plan, you can choose to pay a monthly membership fee as a single ($34), a couple ($64) or a family ($104). Your membership automatically qualifies you for:
two free teeth cleanings & exams per year and any necessary check-up x-rays
any other diagnostic x-rays that may be needed
20% discount on all dental services and 10% discount on clear-aligner orthodontic treatment (up to $1,500 total per year in discounted services)
If you don’t currently carry dental coverage or will be losing it and you would like care you can afford, we will be glad to answer your questions about how you can fit dental service comfortably into your finances.
