No Dental Insurance? No Problem.
If you do not have dental insurance, Shamblott Family Dentistry offers the Smile Savers program — an affordable annual membership that gives you access to routine preventive care and significant discounts on most dental treatments.
What Smile Savers Includes for $586 Per Year:
- Two routine cleanings per year
- Two fluoride treatments
- One four bitewing x-ray series
- Two regular periodic exams
- One emergency exam
- 15% savings on most dental treatments including fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, implants and more
Smile Savers has no deductibles, no co-payments, no yearly maximums, no claim forms and no waiting periods. It is not dental insurance — it is a straightforward membership program designed to make dental care accessible and affordable for patients without insurance.
IV sedation fees and merchandise are not eligible for the Smile Savers discount. Full program terms and conditions are available on the Smile Savers page.
How to Use Your Dental Insurance at Shamblott
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring your dental insurance card and a photo ID to your first visit. We ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete paperwork and registration. Having your insurance card at your first appointment allows us to process your information quickly and accurately.
What if my insurance changes?
Insurance plans change frequently — sometimes without notice. We ask at every visit whether anything has changed with your coverage. If your plan changes at any point, please let us know as soon as possible so we can update your account and avoid any delays in processing your claims.
Why was my dental insurance claim denied?
Claim denials are frustrating but common. The reason for any denial will be explained on your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance company. Common reasons include:
- The procedure is not a covered benefit under your plan
- Your annual maximum has already been met
- An incorrect subscriber or group number was provided
- There is a waiting period on the treatment you received
- Your date of birth on file does not match what the insurance company has
If you have questions about a denied claim, please call us and we will do our best to help you understand and resolve the issue.
