Why More People Are Choosing Dental Care Without Traditional Insurance

The dental insurance landscape has changed dramatically over the past few decades, and not always for the better. While dental insurance can be valuable for some patients, many people are discovering that it’s not the money-saving solution they thought it would be.

The Reality of Dental Insurance Today

Limited Annual Maximums:

Most dental insurance plans have annual maximum benefits between $1,000 and $2,000. This amount hasn’t increased significantly since the 1970s, despite dramatic increases in healthcare costs. For patients needing major dental work, these maximums can be exhausted quickly, leaving you to pay out-of-pocket for the rest of the year.

High Monthly Premiums:

Individual dental insurance plans can cost $30-$60 per month or more—that’s $360-$720 per year. Family plans can run $100-$150 monthly, totaling $1,200-$1,800 annually. When you compare these premiums to the annual maximum benefits, the value proposition becomes questionable.

Frustrating Waiting Periods:

Many insurance plans impose waiting periods of 6-12 months for basic procedures and up to 12-24 months for major work like crowns, bridges, or implants. If you need treatment now, you’re out of luck or paying full price anyway.

Coverage Exclusions and Limitations:

Insurance companies often exclude or limit coverage for:

• Pre-existing conditions
• Cosmetic procedures
• Certain types of restorations
• Implants and advanced treatments
• More than one of the same procedure within a specified timeframe
• Treatment deemed “not medically necessary” by the insurance company

Network Restrictions:

Many insurance plans require you to see in-network dentists, limiting your choice of providers. If you want to see a specific dentist like Dr. O but they’re out of network, you might face reduced benefits or no coverage at all.

Claim Denials and Delays:

Insurance companies can deny claims for various reasons, and the appeals process is time-consuming and frustrating. Even when claims are approved, payment delays can take weeks or months.

One-Size-Fits-All Coverage:

Insurance plans determine what’s “covered” based on standardized schedules, not your individual dental needs. You might have coverage for procedures you don’t need while lacking coverage for treatments you do need.

The Growing Trend: Dental Membership Plans

Across the United States, dental practices are creating membership plans as an alternative to traditional insurance. These plans:

• Eliminate the insurance company middleman
• Provide transparent, predictable pricing
• Offer immediate access to care with no waiting periods
• Give patients more control over their dental decisions
• Build a direct relationship between patient and dental practice

At East Wind Dental Care, we’ve designed our membership plan with one goal in mind: making exceptional dental care accessible and affordable for everyone in the Hillsboro community, regardless of insurance status.

East Wind Dental Care Membership Plan: Your Insurance Alternative

Our membership plan is a subscription-based program that provides comprehensive preventive care and substantial discounts on all dental treatments. Think of it as an investment in your oral health that pays dividends throughout the year.

Core Benefits of Membership

Comprehensive Preventive Care Included:

Preventive care is the foundation of good oral health. Our membership includes all the essential services you need to keep your teeth and gums healthy:

• Two dental exams per year with Dr. Ostovar
• Two professional cleanings per year
• Necessary X-rays (bitewing or panoramic)
• Oral cancer screenings
• Fluoride treatments
• Periodontal evaluations

Significant Discounts on All Treatments:

Members receive substantial discounts on all dental procedures beyond preventive care:

• 20% discount on restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges)
• 20% discount on cosmetic procedures (teeth whitening, veneers)
• 20% discount on emergency dental care
• 20% discount on periodontal treatments
• 20% discount on oral surgery procedures
• 20% discount on dental implants and major restorations

No Waiting Periods:

Unlike traditional insurance, your membership benefits are available immediately. Need a filling during your first visit? Your discount applies right away.

No Annual Maximums:

There’s no cap on how much you can save. Whether you need routine care or extensive treatment, your 20% discount applies to everything.

No Claim Forms or Denials:

We handle everything in-house. There are no claims to file, no denials to appeal, and no surprises. You know exactly what you’ll pay before treatment begins.

No Network Restrictions:

Your membership is with East Wind Dental Care. You get to see Dr. Ostovar and his experienced team—no network restrictions, no referrals required.

Flexible Payment Options:

We offer convenient payment options for your membership, including annual or monthly payment plans to fit your budget.

Family Coverage Available:

Add family members to your plan at discounted rates, making it affordable to keep everyone’s smiles healthy.

Who Benefits Most from Our Membership Plan?

Self-Employed Individuals and Freelancers:

If you’re running your own business, you know how expensive individual health and dental insurance can be. Our membership plan provides excellent coverage at a fraction of the cost.

Early Retirees:

Medicare doesn’t cover dental care, and private dental insurance for retirees can be prohibitively expensive. Our membership offers an affordable alternative.

Part-Time Workers:

If your employer doesn’t offer dental benefits, or if you work multiple part-time jobs, our membership ensures you have access to quality dental care.

People Between Jobs:

Lost your job or between positions? Don’t let your oral health suffer. Our membership plan keeps you covered during transitions.

Families on a Budget:

When you’re raising a family, every dollar counts. Our family membership plans offer incredible value compared to individual insurance policies for each family member.

People Frustrated with Insurance:

If you’re tired of dealing with insurance paperwork, denials, and restrictions, our membership plan offers a refreshing alternative.

Those Seeking Preventive Focus:

If you value preventive care and want comprehensive cleanings and exams without insurance hassles, our plan is ideal.

Additional Financing Options for Major Treatments

While our membership plan makes dental care more affordable, we understand that major treatments can still represent a significant investment. That’s why we offer additional financing options to help you get the care you need without financial stress.

CareCredit Healthcare Financing

East Wind Dental Care partners with CareCredit, a healthcare credit card designed specifically for medical and dental expenses.

Benefits of CareCredit:

• Quick and easy application process (apply online or in our office)
• Credit limits from $200 to $25,000
• Special promotional financing available (often 6, 12, 18, or 24 months interest-free)
• Use your card for future dental, vision, and medical expenses
• Flexible payment options to fit your budget
• Accepted at over 250,000 healthcare providers nationwide

How It Works:

1. Apply for CareCredit (takes just minutes)

2. Get approved for a credit limit

3. Use your CareCredit card to pay for treatment

4. Make monthly payments according to your chosen plan

5. Pay no interest if you pay off the balance during the promotional period

Who CareCredit Is Right For:

• Patients needing major dental work (implants, full mouth restoration, etc.)
• Those who want to spread payments over several months
• Families managing multiple dental procedures
• Patients who prefer predictable monthly payments

Important: Interest rates apply after promotional periods, so it’s important to understand the terms and have a plan to pay within the promotional timeframe.

In-House Payment Plans

For qualifying patients, we also offer in-house payment arrangements:

Short-Term Payment Plans:

• Break treatment costs into 2-4 payments
• No interest for plans under 90 days
• Perfect for moderately expensive treatments
• Requires down payment (typically 50%)

Long-Term Payment Plans:

• Available for extensive treatment plans
• Customized to your budget
• Requires credit check and approval
• Small monthly fee may apply

Combining Membership with Financing

Here’s where it gets really powerful: You can combine your membership discount with financing options:

Example:

• Dental implant regular cost: $3,500
• With membership 20% discount: $2,800
• Finance $2,800 with CareCredit at 0% for 12 months
• Monthly payment: $233/month

Your membership discount reduces the amount you need to finance, making monthly payments even more manageable.

HSA and FSA Accounts

If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA):

• Dental care is a qualified expense
• Use pre-tax dollars for membership fees and treatments
• Reduces your overall cost by 20-35% (depending on your tax bracket)
• We provide itemized receipts for your records

---

Treatment Phasing: Making Comprehensive Care Affordable

If you need extensive dental work, Dr. Ostovar can work with you to create a phased treatment plan that spreads costs over time while prioritizing urgent needs.

How Treatment Phasing Works

Phase 1: Urgent and Emergency Care

Address immediate problems first:

• Infection treatment
• Pain relief
• Stabilizing damaged teeth
• Emergency extractions if necessary
• Temporary restorations

Phase 2: Essential Restorative Care

Next, handle necessary restorative work:

• Permanent fillings
• Root canals
• Crowns for badly damaged teeth
• Necessary extractions

Phase 3: Comprehensive Restoration

Complete your treatment plan:

• Replace missing teeth
• Additional crowns or bridges
• Implants if desired
• Full mouth restoration

Phase 4: Cosmetic Enhancement

Once function is restored, enhance aesthetics:

• Teeth whitening
• Veneers
• Cosmetic bonding
• Smile makeover procedures

Benefits of Phased Treatment

Financial Flexibility:

Spread costs across several months or years, making comprehensive care affordable.

Insurance Coordination:

If you have insurance with annual maximums, we can time phases to maximize benefits across multiple plan years.

Immediate Relief:

Get urgent problems addressed right away while planning for future phases.

Bite-Sized Decisions:

Make decisions about treatment in manageable chunks rather than committing to everything at once.

Build Trust and Comfort:

Get to know Dr. Ostovar and our team through earlier phases before committing to more extensive work.

Real Example: Phased Treatment Plan

Patient Situation:

• Multiple cavities requiring fillings
• Two teeth needing crowns
• One missing tooth requiring implant
• Desired teeth whitening

Phase 1 (Month 1-2): Address Decay

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Membership Plan

1. How is a membership plan different from dental insurance?

A membership plan is a subscription directly with our dental practice, eliminating the insurance company middleman. You pay an annual or monthly fee and receive specific preventive services plus discounts on treatments. Unlike insurance, there are no claim forms, no denials, no waiting periods, and no annual maximums limiting your benefits.

2. Can I use my membership plan if I have dental insurance?

Yes, but it may not be necessary. Our membership plan is designed for patients without insurance or those whose insurance has been exhausted. However, if you have limited insurance coverage, you could potentially use both—though we recommend comparing to see which provides better value for your situation.

3. Are there any waiting periods before I can use my benefits?

No. Your membership benefits are active immediately upon enrollment. You can schedule your first cleaning and exam right away, and your 20% discount applies to any treatment from day one.

4. What happens if I need more than two cleanings per year?

Additional cleanings beyond your two included cleanings are available at a 20% member discount. Some patients with gum disease or higher risk for decay benefit from more frequent cleanings (every 3-4 months), and your membership discount makes this more affordable.

5. Can I cancel my membership if I need to?

Yes. Monthly memberships can be cancelled with 30 days notice. Annual memberships are non-refundable after 30 days, but you retain access to all benefits through the end of your membership year.

6. What if I don’t use all my cleanings and exams?

We encourage you to use all included benefits to maintain optimal oral health. However, unused visits do not roll over to the next year or result in refunds. Think of it like a gym membership—you get the most value when you use it regularly.

7. Is there a maximum on how much I can save with the 20% discount?

No. Unlike insurance plans with annual maximums (typically $1,000-$2,000), your 20% member discount applies to unlimited treatment. If you need $10,000 worth of dental work, you save $2,000. If you need $20,000 worth, you save $4,000.

8. Can I add family members after I enroll?

Absolutely. You can add family members to your plan at any time. New members are charged a prorated fee for the remainder of your membership year, then the regular family rate at renewal.

9. What if I move or need to transfer my membership?

Our membership is location-specific to East Wind Dental Care. If you move out of the Hillsboro area, we cannot transfer your membership to another practice, but you can use all benefits until your membership expires. Monthly members can cancel with 30 days notice if relocating.

10. Do you offer any senior discounts or special plans?

Yes. We offer a senior membership plan (65+) for $400/year that includes additional periodontal monitoring and denture care guidance, addressing the specific oral health needs of older adults.

11. How does the membership work for orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment (braces or Invisalign) is not included in routine membership benefits, but members receive 20% off orthodontic treatment costs if we provide those services or can refer to a trusted orthodontist.

12. What happens in a dental emergency?

Your membership includes emergency exam coverage. If you have a dental emergency, call us immediately at (503) 614-0198. We’ll get you in as quickly as possible, perform an emergency exam, and provide treatment at your 20% member discount.

13. Can I use CareCredit or payment plans in addition to my membership discount?

Yes. Your 20% membership discount is applied first, reducing the total cost, and then you can finance the discounted amount using CareCredit or our in-house payment plans. This makes major treatment even more affordable.

14. Are cosmetic procedures covered or discounted?

Cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding are not included in the preventive care portion of membership, but members receive 20% off all cosmetic treatments.

15. How do I get started with the membership plan?

It’s easy! Call us at (503) 614-0198 to enroll over the phone, stop by our office at 7546 NE Shaleen St in Hillsboro, or ask about membership during your next appointment. We’ll help you choose the right plan and get you enrolled in minutes.
