Paying for dental care can feel harder when you do not have traditional insurance or when a treatment is only partly covered. At Potomac Crown Dentistry, we offer an in-house membership plan and Cherry financing to give patients more ways to plan for care. Our North Potomac office welcomes patients from Lakelands, Crown, Travilah, Montgomery Village, Germantown, and nearby communities.
Dental Care Without Traditional Insurance
If you do not have insurance, an in-house membership plan can make routine dental expenses easier to plan for. Unlike dental insurance plans, our membership is offered directly through the practice and includes a defined set of services and discounts.
Our team can explain what is included so you can decide whether the plan fits your needs.
What Is Included in Our In-House Membership Plan?
The current dental plan starts as low as $1 per day and the benefits include:
- Two cleanings for patients without periodontal disease
- Two periodic exams
- One limited or emergency exam
- Required X-rays
- 20% discounted pricing on specified procedures, including fillings, crowns, and deep cleanings
Dental needs vary, so not every included service will be appropriate for every patient. For example, patients with periodontal disease may need a different type of cleaning. We will explain which services apply to your care.
How Is a Membership Plan Different From Dental Insurance?
A dental membership plan is not insurance. Traditional insurance may include premiums, deductibles, annual limits, waiting periods, networks, and coverage rules that vary by policy.
With an in-house membership, you pay the membership fee and receive the services and discounts listed in the plan through our office. When comparing dental discount plans, it helps to consider the care you expect to use during the year and whether the plan matches those needs.
Paying for Treatment Beyond Routine Visits
If Dr. Simranjit Bawa recommends treatment, we will explain what we see, review the options, and discuss the expected cost with you.
For treatment outside the membership benefits, Cherry financing may provide another payment option. Eligibility and payment terms are determined through Cherry.
Our team also uses digital X-rays and iTero scanning to support examinations and treatment planning. Our office features comfort-oriented elements like music and TVs in the operatories, creating a more relaxed environment.
What About Invisalign and Cosmetic Care?
Invisalign and cosmetic treatments may have different costs from routine dental care. If you are considering one of these services, we can review the expected fees and available payment options with you before treatment begins.
Is the Membership Plan a Good Fit for You?
The right option depends on the care you expect to need. If you plan regular exams and cleanings or may need certain restorative treatments, our membership benefits can help you decide whether the plan fits your needs and budget.
