Limitations and Exclusions
This is a dental discount plan and is NOT dental insurance.
It CANNOT be combined with any other dental insurance, and does not qualify if a procedure is billed to your medical insurance.
It is only good at Preference Dental. Therefore, if you are referred for any treatment elsewhere, i.e. specialist, they will NOT offer this discount.
The type of plan you are eligible for, Healthy Smiles or Gum Maintenance, is per the diagnosis of the dentist based on periodontal classification, individual for each patient. Some patients may be on the Healthy Smiles Plan but due to changing oral health and systemic conditions may be reclassified to the Gum Maintenance Plan. You will be advised and consulted if this happens.
Complete xray evaluations are recommended every 5 years, if you are due to update, this fee will have the included bitewing xrays deducted and your discount applied.
Should there be dental treatment needed following any type of injury where outside medical, car, disability, VA, or workman’s comp type insurances are involved, this discounted plan cannot be used.
Plan membership requires prepayment of annual fees and does not cover previous visits or treatment. You can enroll anytime during the year and would renew that month the following year.
Annual fees are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERRABLE even if the patient(s) choose not to use their dental plan
Patients are expected to preschedule and honor their reserved appointment times. Patients will not be able to carry over unused preventative visits, fluoride applications etc into the following year. Outstanding recommended treatment carried over into a new plan year is only eligible for treatment discount if plan is renewed.
All payments for discounted dental treatment are due AT TIME OF SERVICE to receive the discount. Any services received that are not paid for at the time of services will be billed at the usual, higher fees. Prepayment prior to treatment is a great option!
If you choose to use Care Credit for restorative treatment services, your discount will be reduced to 8% due to merchant fees.
Plan fees are only valid when paid at time of enrollment.
Plan is subject to change yearly .
