For the millions of Americans without dental insurance, routine care often gets pushed aside, not because it is unimportant, but because the cost without coverage feels unpredictable and out of reach. Skipping regular cleanings and exams leads to small problems becoming bigger, more expensive ones over time. A straightforward, affordable alternative can change that pattern entirely and help patients stay consistent with their dental health year after year.
At Ambler Dental Arts, we created our in-house membership plan for exactly this reason. Designed for patients who do not have dental insurance or whose plan does not fully meet their needs, the membership gives you access to preventive care and meaningful discounts on a wide range of treatments for a simple flat annual fee. There are no claim forms, no waiting periods, no annual maximums, and no surprises. Visit our patient information page to learn more about what to expect when you visit our office.
Our membership plan is designed to cover the preventive care that keeps your smile healthy throughout the year, along with discounts that make additional treatment more manageable when you need it. According to KFF Health News, in-house dental membership plans have helped uninsured patients receive care more consistently, with many visiting their dentist at the same rate as those with traditional insurance once enrolled in a plan.
For $399 per year, membership at Ambler Dental Arts includes the following:
All discounts apply immediately from the day you enroll. There is no waiting period before you can use your benefits.
Scaling and Root Planing, often referred to as SRP or a deep cleaning, is a specialized periodontal procedure that goes beyond what a routine prophylaxis cleaning addresses. Because of its clinical nature, SRP is not counted as one of the two regular cleanings included in the membership plan. However, members receive a 20% discount on SRP treatment, making it more accessible for patients who need this level of care to manage their gum health.
If you have questions about whether SRP or periodontal maintenance is the right fit for your situation, our team is happy to walk you through the difference during your visit. You can also learn more about what to expect from a dental cleaning at our office before you come in.
Traditional dental insurance can come with annual deductibles, waiting periods for certain procedures, coverage caps, and a claim process that takes time and paperwork to navigate. Our in-house membership plan eliminates all of that. You pay one flat annual fee, your benefits activate immediately, and you know exactly what is covered and what your discount will be before you ever sit in the chair.
The plan is particularly well-suited for self-employed individuals, retirees, small business owners, and anyone whose employer does not offer dental benefits. It is also a strong option for patients who have insurance but find that their annual maximum runs out before the year does. For those interested in understanding how the membership plan works alongside other payment options, our financing page outlines how CareCredit can cover the cost of larger procedures that fall outside the plan’s included benefits. For patients who do have insurance, our insurance page explains how we handle out-of-network claims on your behalf.
Our team serves patients throughout Lower Gwynedd, Spring House, Blue Bell, Horsham, and the surrounding Montgomery County communities.
