Affordable Dental Care in Summerville with Our Dental Discount Plan
A cracked filling or a nagging toothache rarely waits for a convenient moment, and if you do not have dental insurance, cost can feel like the biggest obstacle standing between you and the care you need. Many adults put off cleanings, exams, and even necessary treatment simply because they are unsure what a visit will cost, and that hesitation often allows small problems to grow into bigger, more expensive ones. Over time, skipped checkups can turn a simple filling into a root canal or turn early gum disease into a much more involved treatment plan.
At Old Trolley Dental Associates in Summerville, South Carolina, we created our Dental Discount Plan to remove that uncertainty for patients who do not carry dental insurance. The plan works alongside the flexible financing options we already offer, giving families and individuals in our practice a predictable way to plan for the dental care they need throughout the year without waiting on approval from an outside carrier.
What Our Dental Discount Plan Includes
Every membership is built around the preventive visits that keep small issues from becoming bigger ones, along with a meaningful discount on the treatments patients need most often. Members receive:
- Two healthy mouth cleanings with fluoride treatment each year
- All necessary x-rays at no additional cost
- Three comprehensive exams annually
- 10 percent off treatment including fillings, same-day crowns, dentures, veneers, periodontal therapy, cosmetic dentistry, bridges, dental implants, extractions, and clear aligners
These benefits are designed to cover the visits most patients need every single year while also making the larger treatments more manageable when they come up.
Adult memberships are priced at $399 per year, and children age 13 and under can be enrolled for $299 per year. Without the plan, these same preventive services carry an ordinary fee of $748, which means members typically save up to 50 percent on the preventive care that keeps a smile healthy year after year. For a family with more than one member enrolled, those savings can add up quickly, especially when combined with the additional 10 percent discount available on bigger treatment needs.
No Hidden Fees or Waiting Periods
Unlike a typical dental insurance policy, our Dental Discount Plan has no yearly maximum limiting how much care you can receive, and there is no deductible to meet before the benefits apply. Members never have to file a claim or wait on reimbursement from an outside company, because the discount is simply applied at the time of service. There is also no missing tooth clause that could deny coverage for a tooth that was lost before enrollment, no waiting period before benefits begin, and no preauthorization required before scheduling treatment.
For patients who have grown frustrated with the fine print that often comes with dental insurance, this level of simplicity is usually the biggest relief the plan provides. Instead of calling an insurance company to check what percentage of a procedure is covered, our patients already know exactly what to expect before they sit in the chair.
Who Benefits Most From Our Discount Plan?
Cost remains one of the most common reasons people delay dental visits, and the effects tend to add up over time. The CDC reports that roughly one in five adults between the ages of 20 and 64 has at least one untreated cavity, a gap that often traces back to the ongoing expense of dental care. Our Dental Discount Plan is built for exactly this situation, whether that means a retiree without employer coverage, a self-employed patient managing their own budget, or a family who has decided that insurance premiums no longer make financial sense for the care they actually use.
Patients who need more involved treatment can apply their 10 percent discount toward procedures like dental implants, dentures, or same-day crowns, making the plan useful well beyond a routine cleaning. Those considering cosmetic dentistry or ongoing periodontal therapy can use the same membership to manage those costs from one year to the next, rather than paying full price for every visit along the way.
Terms to Know Before You Enroll
Like any discount membership, our plan comes with a few straightforward rules that keep it valuable for both our patients and our practice. The plan cannot be combined with dental insurance or any other current offer, and it remains valid for 12 months from the date of payment. Memberships are non-transferable and non-refundable, and payment is due at the time each service is provided.
It is also worth noting that the 10 percent treatment discount does not apply toward CareCredit or Cherry payment plans, though patients are still welcome to use either of those financing options on their own, separate from the membership discount.
