IRVINE, Calif., July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Castle Dental has expanded availability of the OneSmile™ Dental Plan, a flexible alternative to dental insurance. With OneSmile, Castle Dental aims to increase the availability of dental services and deliver significant cost savings, helping to ensure that affordable dental care is available to everyone.
Nearly 40 percent of the U.S. population lacks dental insurance of any kind. Even those with insurance may be frustrated and unable to access the care they need due to low caps on services that traditional insurance plans cover.
Under the terms of the OneSmile Dental Plan, members pay a low yearly fee to receive free exams, free X-rays and 20 to 40 percent discounts off all dental services, including cosmetic and specialty services. After enrolling in the plan, members simply show their member ID at the participating dental office to take advantage of the plan discounts. Membership is guaranteed. There are no restrictions on participation, regardless of a person's age or conditions which existed prior to enrollment. The plan is now available at all Castle Dental® locations across Tennessee and Texas.
"Nearly 80 percent of adults say they plan to visit the dentist within the next year, but less than half that number will get there. We're always challenging ourselves to overcome the barriers that prevent people from following through on those good intentions," said Smile Brands CEO, Steve Bilt. "I'm thrilled that nearly 20,000 patients have enrolled in the OneSmile Dental Plan since the end of 2017. OneSmile is a major component of our mission to deliver Smiles for Everyone®, since plan members are twice as likely to visit the dentist regularly."
The OneSmile Plan is not insurance, it is a licensed discount medical plan. To learn more, or to enroll in the OneSmile Dental Plan, visit https://www.onesmiledentalplan.com.
