The Advantages of Independent Dental Hygienists
Specialized Focus
Independent dental hygienists often have a specialised focus on preventive oral care and hygiene. They place a strong emphasis on educating patients about oral health, implementing preventive measures, and promoting overall wellness. This specialized expertise can be appealing to individuals who prioritize proactive dental care and want personalized attention to their oral health needs.
Personalized Care
Independent dental hygienists typically offer a more personalized and patient-centered approach. With fewer patients to attend to, they can dedicate more time and attention to each individual, focusing on building relationships and understanding their specific concerns and goals. This personalized care can create a more comfortable and relaxed environment for patients.
Flexibility and Accessibility
Independent dental hygienists often provide flexible scheduling options, including extended hours or weekend appointments, to accommodate patients' busy lifestyles. They may also offer greater accessibility to care, especially for individuals who may face barriers to accessing dental services, such as limited insurance coverage or transportation challenges.
Cost-Effectiveness
Independent dental hygienists may offer more cost-effective options for dental hygiene services. With fewer overhead expenses compared to larger dental offices, they can often provide quality care at competitive prices. This can be particularly appealing for individuals without dental insurance or those seeking affordable preventive care.
Personal Connection
Independent dental hygienists often prioritize building personal connections with their patients. This can result in a more familiar and comfortable experience, with a focus on developing trust and rapport. Patients may appreciate the continuity of care and the opportunity to establish a long-term relationship with their dental hygienist.
Insurance and Membership Plans
How Does a Membership Plan Work?
A dental membership plan is an alternative to “dental insurance”. We say “dental insurance” because let’s be real, how is it actually insurance? At best, it’s a savings plan. Can you imagine purchasing car insurance, health insurance, renters insurance, or homeowners insurance that would work as dental insurance does? Dental insurance maxes you out of benefits usually around $1,000 each year and dictates how much you can use when you can use it, and what services you can use it towards. As an alternative, we have created a dental membership to offer our patients that acts as a discount plan disguised as insurance. And yes, you can still use your dental insurance benefits and get a membership to our office if this makes sense for your situation.
