Announcing the new dental benefits plan

I am very pleased to announce a new development in our practice that we feel will truly help to benefit patients. We simply call it The Dental Benefits Plan.

This plan is designed to make quality dental care affordable for patients that do not have traditional insurance and also provide a very affordable option for employers to provide dental benefits for their patients.
How Does It Work

Besides it's affordability, the best part about the plan is that it is so simple to enroll in and use.

There is a yearly enrollment fee of $290. That's it! For a one time fee you are now covered for an entire year with benefits that far exceed what you will get from a traditional insurance plan.

The fee for the second family member drops to $200 and each family member after that pays just a $150 enrollment fee.

The fees and administration work just the same if you are an individual signing up or if you are an employer providing benefits for your staff.

Do the math and compare to what a third party insurance will charge. Trust me you are going to be very pleasantly surprised.

What is included

Now for the best part about the plan. What is included? EVERYTHING! As opposed to all traditional insurance plans that exclude valuable treatment options and deny coverage based on circumstances that you have no control over, our Benefits Plan includes everything. Veneers, short-term braces, teeth whitening...........if I do it, it is included in this plan. Here are the specifics of what is included:


  • Initial full series of x-rays, comprehensive exam, and routine cleaning* (child or adult)

  • Six month exam and routine cleaning

  • Custom whitening trays

  • 20% off of ALL OTHER SERVICES for the entire length of your enrollment, NO MAXIMUMS and NO DEDUCTIBLES

It really is that simple.

For an example, let's compare traditional insurance vs. our Dental Benefits Plan.


Traditional- Typically these plans will have a yearly maximum of $1000-$1500. After that you are on you own and you will pay full price for treatment. Usually this will cover your two routine cleanings* and may cover 1 crown or a few fillings. They will NOT pay for anything considered cosmetic: bonding, veneers, whitening.........nothing. As I'm sure you are aware, insurance companies are also notorious for finding reasons to deny coverage----any reasons! But mostly they are interested in their bottom line.


Whalen Dentistry Benefits Plan- Two yearly exams and routine cleanings* are covered. That is where the similarities between our Plan and traditional insurance end! We have no maximum for the year, and we charge no deductibles. There are no catches. It does not matter what you want or need. It is covered, period. So not only are you very likely to pay a greatly reduced enrollment fee from traditional insurance, roughly 30-50% in most cases, but the amount in savings on the rest of your dental needs are unlimited.

*Patients with periodontal disease may require additonal treatment, which would be covered under the 20% savings
