Without the burden of monthly premiums and restrictive coverage limits, individuals without insurance can access a wide range of dental services at reduced rates. This makes dental care more affordable and accessible, allowing for regular check-ups and necessary treatments without the financial strain typically associated with out-of-pocket expenses.
At Durango Dental, we understand the importance of maintaining optimal dental health without breaking the bank. That's why we are proud to offer a dental savings plan, designed specifically to cater to your oral health needs while providing significant savings and peace of mind.
What Is a Non-Insured Dental Savings Plan?
A dental savings plan is a membership program offered by dental offices that provides access to a wide range of dental services at reduced rates. It is generally used by patients who do not have access to insurance benefits.
Unlike traditional insurance, dental savings plans have no deductibles, waiting periods, or annual spending caps. They allow you to get routine check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, emergency care, root canals, crowns, bridges, dentures, and other major procedures at discounted prices.

Who Benefits Most from a Non-Insured Dental Savings Plan?
Those who require very little care
Traditional dental insurance often involves monthly premiums and deductibles, which may not be cost-effective for those who only need basic preventive care. Our dental savings plan usually has a low annual membership fee that covers these essential services, providing significant savings.
Those who require care beyond what their insurance covers
Dental insurance policies often have annual maximums, beyond which they do not cover any more expenses. Our savings plan can help cover the cost of additional treatments and procedures without these caps. Individuals who need extensive care can receive discounted rates and timely care.
Those who have health conditions that can be exacerbated by dental issues
Conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders can be exacerbated by dental issues. Savings plans provide affordable access to necessary and regular dental treatments, reducing the risk of complications.
Those over 65 enrolled in Medicare
As people age, they may require more dental care, including treatments for gum disease, tooth loss, and other age-related dental issues. Medicare typically does not cover routine dental care or most dental procedures. A dental savings plan can fill this gap, providing seniors with access to the dental care they need at discounted and predictable rates.
