FAQ.

Piedmont Family Dentistry's brand-new Dental Discount Program is a new plan offered to patients that do not have dental insurance. For an annual fee, members receive:

• 2 Free checkups, 2 Free Simple cleanings, and one set of checkup x-rays per membership year!

• Discounts of 30-60% off our regular fee schedule.

An Adult Prophylaxis is commonly referred to as a “simple” or “free” cleaning. This is the type of dental cleaning that most patients have during their checkup visits.

However, if you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease (“gum disease”), resulting in a scaling and root planning (“deep cleaning”), then the dental cleaning you receive during your routine checkup visits is called a Periodontal Maintenance.

Patients who are diagnosed with gum disease are not eligible for simple cleanings. And just as with virtually all dental insurance, Periodontal Maintenance is not covered as a “free service” under our Dental Discount Plan- but it is eligible for the reduced fee schedule.

Just like any insurance plan where you must use your benefits in annually- or lose them- your 2 cleaning visits are only good during each membership year. You must use your 2 checkup visits within each membership year- any unused benefits will not carry over.

We have several specialists- Oral Surgeons, Endodontists, Periodontists and Pediatric Dentists- who have agreed to extend discounts to our Dental Discount patients! And since these providers have been working with our office for over a decade, we feel confident that they will always provide our patients with superior service.

Our Dental Discount Plan is not dental insurance and can only be used at Piedmont Family Dentistry. However, there are no claims to file, or waiting periods to be met or pre-existing conditions that would limit the care that you need for you or your dependents.

A dependent is either the spouse or the child of a member. Children are covered up to age 26, irrespective of their student status.
