Dental insurance has been getting worse, year over year, for the last decade. Higher premiums, lower annual maximums, and more procedures excluded. A lot of Churchville families have looked at the math and decided to skip insurance entirely — but that leaves the question of how to pay for routine care.
Virginia Dental Club is the answer most of our patients land on.
How it works
You pay an annual membership fee. In exchange, you get your routine preventive care included (cleanings, exams, and necessary x-rays for the year) plus a flat discount on every other treatment performed in this office — fillings, crowns, dentures, root canals, cosmetic work, the lot.
There's no deductible. No annual maximum. No claim forms. No "wait six months before this is covered." The membership starts the day you join.
Who it's a good fit for
Membership dentistry is a good fit if: - You don't have dental insurance through work - You're self-employed - You're between jobs - You're retired and have lost employer coverage - Your existing dental insurance has a low annual maximum
For a couple or a family, the savings on cleanings alone often pay for the membership before any other treatment is needed.
Who it isn't for
If you have strong dental insurance that fully covers your preventive care and a meaningful portion of restorative work, stay on it. We'll continue accepting your plan.
How to join
You can sign up directly through Virginia Dental Club — we'll walk you through it at your next visit, or you can call us at 540-337-6004 and we'll get it set up before you come in.
