Dental Membership Plan | Affordable Care Without Insurance | East Wind Dental Care

Welcome to the East Wind Dental Care Membership Plan – your affordable alternative to traditional dental insurance. Designed for patients without dental insurance, our in-house membership program provides comprehensive preventive care and significant savings on treatments, all with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Join hundreds of satisfied members from Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Aloha who enjoy quality dental care without the hassles of insurance claims, waiting periods, or annual maximums.

What Is the EWDC Membership Plan?

Our dental membership plan is an innovative approach to making quality dental care accessible and affordable for everyone. Rather than paying monthly premiums to an insurance company, you pay East Wind Dental Care directly for comprehensive preventive care and receive substantial discounts on all additional treatments. This direct relationship eliminates the middleman, reduces administrative costs, and allows us to pass the savings directly to you.

The membership plan is perfect for individuals, families, and businesses looking for straightforward dental coverage without the complexity and limitations of traditional insurance. Whether you’re self-employed, between jobs, work for a company that doesn’t offer dental benefits, or simply want more predictable dental costs, our membership plan provides an excellent solution.

Comprehensive Membership Benefits

When you become an EWDC member, you gain access to a wide range of benefits designed to keep your smile healthy while protecting your budget.

Included Preventive Care

Each membership includes essential preventive services that form the foundation of excellent oral health. Members receive two comprehensive dental examinations per year with Dr. Ostovar, who personally evaluates your oral health, screens for problems, and develops personalized care recommendations. These thorough evaluations catch issues early when they’re easiest and most affordable to treat.

Your membership also includes two professional dental cleanings annually. Our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing at home cannot eliminate, helping prevent cavities and gum disease. These cleanings leave your teeth feeling smooth and fresh while protecting your long-term oral health.

All necessary dental X-rays are included in your membership at no additional cost. We use advanced digital X-ray technology that provides detailed images with minimal radiation exposure. These diagnostic images help us detect cavities between teeth, evaluate bone levels, identify impacted teeth, and assess other conditions not visible during a clinical examination.

Members also receive emergency examinations at no charge. If you experience a dental emergency like severe pain, trauma, or a broken tooth, we’ll see you quickly and perform an emergency evaluation to determine the appropriate treatment. This benefit alone can save hundreds of dollars compared to emergency dental visits without coverage.

Additional preventive benefits include fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce cavity risk, oral cancer screenings during each examination, and personalized oral hygiene instruction to help you maintain optimal home care.

Exclusive Member Discounts

Beyond the included preventive services, members save 20-30% on virtually all additional dental treatments. These substantial discounts apply to:

• Restorative procedures including fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canals
• Cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding
• Dental implants and other tooth replacement options
• Invisalign clear aligners and orthodontic treatment
• Periodontal therapy for gum disease
• Sedation dentistry for anxious patients
• Emergency dental procedures and urgent care
• Specialty services including extractions and oral surgery

These discounts represent significant savings over the course of a year, often more than offsetting the cost of membership even if you need just one or two additional procedures. For patients requiring extensive treatment, the savings can total thousands of dollars.

Additional Member Advantages

Membership provides benefits beyond direct cost savings. Members enjoy priority scheduling, making it easier to get appointments at convenient times. We reserve appointment slots specifically for members, ensuring you can access care when you need it.

Unlike dental insurance, our membership plan has no waiting periods for any services. You can use your benefits immediately upon enrollment, even for major procedures. There are no annual maximums limiting your care – receive as much treatment as you need with member discounts applying to everything.

Members never deal with claim forms, pre-authorizations, or insurance company denials. We handle everything in-house, providing transparent pricing before treatment begins. You’ll know exactly what you’ll pay with no surprise bills or denied claims.

Your membership is transferable within your household, and you can cancel at any time with 30 days notice. We believe in earning your membership through excellent service, not binding you with complex contracts.

Membership Plan Tiers

We offer three membership tiers designed to meet different needs and life stages. Each provides comprehensive benefits tailored to specific oral health requirements.

Adult Membership Plan

Our adult membership, designed for patients age 18 and older, includes all the core preventive benefits described above. This plan is ideal for adults with healthy gums who need routine preventive care and occasional restorative treatments.

The adult membership provides two examinations, two cleanings, all necessary X-rays, emergency exams, and 20-30% discounts on all additional treatments. Members pay affordable monthly payments that make budgeting for dental care simple and predictable.

Many adults without dental insurance avoid necessary care due to cost concerns. Our adult membership eliminates this barrier, ensuring you can maintain excellent oral health without financial stress. The preventive care included in your membership helps avoid costly problems down the road, while the discounts make any needed treatment more affordable.

Child Membership Plan

Children have unique dental needs, and our child membership plan addresses them comprehensively. Designed for patients under age 18, this plan includes everything in the adult membership plus additional preventive treatments crucial for developing smiles.

Child members receive two examinations, two cleanings, all necessary X-rays including growth and development monitoring, fluoride treatments at each visit, and dental sealants for permanent molars when appropriate. These preventive measures provide maximum protection against cavities during the cavity-prone childhood years.

The child membership also includes 20-30% discounts on all additional treatments including fillings, space maintainers, and orthodontic evaluations. Early intervention when problems are detected can prevent more extensive treatment later, and our membership makes this proactive care affordable for families.

Establishing a dental home early and maintaining regular visits helps children develop positive attitudes toward dental care that last a lifetime. Our gentle, pediatric-focused approach combined with the affordability of membership ensures your children receive the care they need without financial barriers.

Periodontal Maintenance Plan

Patients with gum disease require more frequent cleanings than the standard twice-yearly schedule. Our periodontal maintenance plan provides the additional care needed to manage periodontal disease effectively and prevent progression.

This specialized membership includes four periodontal maintenance cleanings per year – one every three months – which is the recommended schedule for managing gum disease. These deeper cleanings target bacteria below the gum line to control infection and inflammation.

The perio plan also includes two comprehensive examinations, all necessary X-rays to monitor bone levels, and ongoing periodontal assessments to track treatment effectiveness. Members save 20-30% on any additional treatments including scaling and root planing, laser therapy, or other periodontal procedures.

If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease or have a history of periodontal problems, this membership tier provides the consistent care you need at a fraction of the cost of paying out-of-pocket for quarterly cleanings and treatments.

Membership Pricing and Value

Our membership plans offer exceptional value compared to paying for dental care without insurance. While specific pricing can be discussed when you call (503) 614-0198, members typically save hundreds to thousands of dollars annually depending on their treatment needs.

Consider the out-of-pocket cost of dental care without insurance or membership: a comprehensive exam typically costs $150-200, professional cleanings run $100-150 each, and X-rays add another $100-250. Just the preventive care included in membership would cost $500-750 if paid separately – and that’s before any additional treatments.

With membership, you pay one affordable monthly fee that covers all preventive care, then save 20-30% on any treatments you need. Even if you only need the included preventive services, membership often costs less than paying separately. If you need additional work, the savings multiply quickly.

Membership vs. Traditional Dental Insurance

Understanding the differences between our membership plan and traditional dental insurance helps you make an informed decision about which option best meets your needs.

No Waiting Periods

Traditional insurance typically imposes waiting periods of 6-12 months for major procedures like crowns, root canals, or implants. Our membership has zero waiting periods – use your benefits and discounts immediately upon enrollment, even for major work.

No Annual Maximums

Most dental insurance plans cap benefits at $1,000-2,000 per year. Once you exceed this maximum, you pay 100% out-of-pocket for additional care. Our membership has no annual maximum – receive unlimited discounts on all treatments year-round without hitting a coverage ceiling.

No Claim Forms or Denials

Insurance companies often deny claims for various reasons, leaving you responsible for bills you thought would be covered. With our membership, there are no claim forms to file and no surprise denials. We provide clear pricing before treatment, and you know exactly what you’ll pay.

No Network Restrictions

Insurance networks limit where you can receive care. Our membership works exclusively at East Wind Dental Care, where you’ve chosen to receive treatment. You build a relationship with our team and receive consistent care from providers who know your dental history.

Transparent, Predictable Pricing

Insurance coverage can be confusing with co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance, and covered percentages varying by procedure. Our membership offers straightforward pricing – preventive care is included, and you save 20-30% on everything else. No complex calculations or surprise bills.

Better Value for Many Patients

For patients who need only preventive care, membership often costs less than insurance premiums while providing the same services. For patients who need additional treatments, the 20-30% discounts combined with no annual maximums frequently provide better value than insurance coverage.

Membership vs. Out-of-Pocket Costs

Paying out-of-pocket for dental care without insurance or membership can be prohibitively expensive, often leading people to delay necessary treatment until problems become emergencies.

A typical year of dental care might include two exams ($300-400), two cleanings ($200-300), X-rays ($100-250), and perhaps a filling or two ($150-300 each). You’re easily spending $1,000-1,500+ just for basic care and minor issues.

With membership, that same preventive care is covered by your monthly fee, and any fillings or additional treatments cost 20-30% less. Over the course of a year, membership typically saves $500-1,000 or more compared to paying out-of-pocket.

If you need more extensive work like crowns, root canals, or implants, the savings become even more dramatic. A single crown might cost $1,200-1,500 out-of-pocket, but members save $250-450 with the member discount. Multiple procedures can result in savings of several thousand dollars.
