Straightforward dental savings for the whole family.
Navigating dental insurance can be frustrating. Annual maximums, waiting periods, and denied claims often leave patients paying more than they expected or skipping care altogether. According to the American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute, only 53% of privately insured adults ages 19 to 64 had at least one dental visit in 2022, and that number drops to just 15% among those without coverage. At Northside Family Dentistry, we believe that number should be higher, and our in-house dental savings plan is part of how we are working to change it.
Our savings plan is not insurance. It is a straightforward, membership-based program that gives you access to preventive care services and meaningful discounts on the treatments you need, all without annual maximums, deductibles, or claim forms. Whether your family has no dental coverage or you simply want a more predictable way to manage dental costs, our plan is built with you in mind. We welcome patients from across the Joplin area seeking affordable dental care without compromising quality.
Choosing the right plan for your family starts with understanding what each one covers and who it is designed for. We offer three distinct plans so patients of every age and oral health situation can find a fit that works for them.
DISCLOSURE: This plan is not insurance. Payment for services is required at the time of service. Discounts are off regular list UCR fees and do not include the cost of the membership fee.
Getting started with the Northside Family Dentistry savings plan is straightforward, and there are no lengthy enrollment forms or insurance approvals to wait for. You can sign up when you visit our office, and your membership benefits are active from the start. We keep the process simple so you can focus on your health, not paperwork.
Select the Children’s Plan, Adult Plan, or Perio Plan based on your age and dental health needs. If you are enrolling for multiple family members, each person selects the plan that fits their situation.
Sign up in person during your appointment. Our front desk team will walk you through the plan details and get your membership set up quickly so you can focus on your care.
Once enrolled, schedule your included exams and cleanings. Staying current on your preventive visits is the best way to catch small issues early and make the most of your membership.
Any additional dental services you receive at Northside Family Dentistry are automatically discounted by 15% off our regular list UCR fees as long as your membership is active. Whether you need a filling, a crown, or any other dental services we offer, your discount applies.
We believe the best dental care is the kind you actually keep up with. Our savings plan removes the financial barriers that cause patients to delay or avoid treatment, making it easier to say yes to the care that keeps your smile healthy for years to come.
Our dental savings plan is a practical pathway to consistent, high-quality oral health care for the whole family. Whether you are a new patient or someone who has been putting off care because of cost concerns, this plan is designed to make it easier to get started and stay on track.
