ANNUAL CLINICAL INCLUSIONS

Routine Care
Built Into The Plan.

Your annual membership fee guarantees regular, predictable preventive dental care. Every clinical procedure is rendered by our licensed team in Northwest Portland with zero deductible claims or waiting windows.

01 / PREVENTIVE PROPHYLAXIS

2 Healthy Mouth Cleanings & 2 Preventive Exams

Includes two standard dental cleanings (adult prophylaxis) and two comprehensive periodic exams per plan year. Our dentists meticulously evaluate soft tissue, check bite stability, and perform systematic oral cancer screenings at each visit.

CLINICAL NOTE: CLEANING TYPE MUST MATCH GUM HEALTH

In the presence of active periodontal disease, specialized periodontal maintenance or deep scaling is clinically required by dental standards. Standard prophylaxis cannot be substituted for active periodontal therapy.

02 / DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING & PROTECTION

Dental X-Rays & 2 Fluoride Applications

Complete preventive radiographic diagnostics are included to detect hidden decay, bone density changes, and sub-surface pathology. Pair that with two clinical fluoride treatments that actively strengthen and remineralize enamel.

  • Full diagnostic bitewing series & routine checkup imaging
  • Targeted periapical films as clinically necessary
  • Two professional enamel-strengthening fluoride varnishes

03 / ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS

3D Oral Scan & Comprehensive Treatment Planning

High-precision digital optical scanning creates a complete 3D digital simulation of your teeth and bite. This allows our clinical team to monitor micro-movements, identify tooth wear patterns, and develop transparent restorative options if treatment is needed.

  • Precision 3D intraoral digital impression scan
  • Longitudinal bite wear and alignment tracking
  • Itemized, pressure-free restorative care roadmap

TRANSPARENT DENTAL CARE

Membership Is Not Insurance.
It Is Direct, Honest Care.

Traditional dental insurance places middlemen between you and clinical decisions. Our in-house membership eliminates commercial barriers so you receive prompt, uncompromising care without surprises.

ZERO BARRIERS

No Deductibles to Satisfy

Every preventive service included in your membership begins on day one at zero out-of-pocket cost, without initial spending hurdles or out-of-pocket thresholds.

UNRESTRICTED CARE

No Annual Benefit Caps

Insurance policies frequently cut off coverage after arbitrary limits. Your membership discounts and diagnostic inclusions never expire or cap out during your enrollment year.

IMMEDIATE DECISIONS

No Pre-Authorizations

Clinical decisions happen directly between you and your doctor. No claim denials, no waiting weeks for third-party approval, and no delayed treatment schedules.

CLINICAL TRANSPARENCY NOTICE: Northwest Portland Dental membership plans are direct primary oral care agreements designed for uninsured patients. Membership benefits cannot be combined with commercial dental insurance or third-party claims.

WHAT MEMBERSHIP IS NOT

  • Not Insurance: There are no claims, deductibles, waiting periods, pre-authorizations, or annual maximum limits.
  • Not Financing: This is a direct prepaid clinical care arrangement, not a third-party credit line or debt product.
  • Not an In-House Payment Plan: Total annual fees are paid upfront to guarantee immediate schedule availability and locked savings.

$450 Prepaid Annually

Total membership fee of $450 is collected in full at the time of enrollment, immediately activating full preventive coverage and treatment fee reductions.

12-Month Participation Term

Your agreement is effective for 365 consecutive days starting on the exact date of enrollment. All included cleanings and exams must be received within this active window.

Uninsured Patient Eligibility Only

Participants must not have active dental insurance. The program cannot be combined with, billed to, or secondary to third-party commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.

The Plan?

Find direct, transparent answers regarding eligibility parameters, specialized periodontal treatment adjustments, payment coordination, and annual renewal terms.

Direct in-office program • No third-party claims • No waiting periods

Who is eligible to participate in the Healthy Mouth Membership Plan?

This plan is designed specifically for uninsured patients. If you currently have active commercial or private dental insurance, you cannot enroll due to contractual and billing regulations. All new and existing uninsured patients are immediately eligible.

What if I require periodontal maintenance instead of standard prophylaxis?

Standard membership covers two routine preventive cleanings (prophylaxis). For patients diagnosed with active periodontal disease, the plan credits the full standard preventive allowance toward your specialized periodontal therapy, with remaining periodontal maintenance visits discounted at your tiered member rate.

Are treatments completed by outside specialists covered under the plan?

No. The Healthy Mouth Membership Plan applies exclusively to professional dental services performed directly in our Northwest Portland practice. Procedures requiring referral to outside endodontists, oral surgeons, or periodontists are billed separately by those independent practices.

Can membership discounts be combined with CareCredit or external financing?

Yes, CareCredit may be utilized for plan-covered procedures. However, because third-party merchant financing carries administrative processing fees, the member discount applied when using extended financing options is adjusted accordingly at the time of treatment calculation.

How does the annual membership renewal and coverage period operate?

Your membership remains active for exactly 365 days starting from your date of enrollment. All included cleanings, examinations, and diagnostic x-rays must be scheduled and completed within that 12-month period. Unused services do not roll over into subsequent membership years.

Can I use this membership alongside secondary or supplemental dental insurance?

No. The membership plan cannot be combined with, billed alongside, or coordinated as secondary coverage with any private, commercial, or state dental insurance plan. It functions purely as a direct in-office dental care agreement.

Are there any waiting periods or annual maximum benefit caps?

There are zero waiting periods and no annual maximum dollar caps. Your 100% preventive coverage and reduced treatment rates take effect immediately upon enrollment payment, with no cumulative cap on your annual savings.
