Every October, National Dental Hygiene Month shines a spotlight on the importance of our daily habits and professional preventive care for sustainable long-term oral health. For Clayton families without dental insurance, the biggest hurdle is often cost. For these patients, Clayton Smiles proudly offers a simple and convenient answer.

Clayton Smiles’ dental membership plans (https://www.claytonsmiles.com/membership-plan/cp) make preventive cleanings and additional dental care more accessible for patients without dental insurance in Clayton, NC, with a flat yearly fee, no deductibles, maximums, or waiting periods, and a 15% discount on additional treatments that aren’t included.

Cleanings Are the Heart of a Healthy Mouth

A professional dental cleaning does what a toothbrush cannot, clearing away hard-to-reach plaque and hardened tartar and giving our team a chance to spot early cavities or periodontal trouble. Skipping the visits because of cost is unfortunately quite common. Also unfortunately, these delays often lead to bigger bills later.

Clayton Smiles Membership Plans!

Dr. Kate Dolin offers two in-house membership plans for patients without dental insurance, each with a single yearly fee:

  1. Plan 1, designed for individuals with healthy gums, costs $349 a year for adults and $299 for children 12 and under, includes two cleanings, two exams, two fluoride treatments, all necessary x-rays, and 15% off any other dental treatment.
  2. Plan 2, for adult patients requiring periodontal disease maintenance, costs $499 a year, and includes two exams, three periodontal maintenance treatments, any necessary x-rays, and the same 15% discount on other treatments. 

With no waiting periods, maximums, deductibles, monthly premiums, or claims to file, the plans are easy to understand and easy to use.

Paying Over Time and Using Insurance

For larger treatment, Clayton Smiles accepts CareCredit®, a health and wellness credit card that allows you (pending credit approval) to pay for your treatments over time. We also accept payment via cash, checks, debit cards, and major credit cards. Also, if you do have dental insurance, we accept all PPO plans and file your claims.
