The Pennington Dental Ewing Membership Club Plus+ (PDEMC+) is designed to provide greater access to quality dental care at an affordable price.
It includes an extra cleaning compared to our regular plan (PDEMC). An extra cleaning is great for patients undergoing Periodontal Maintenance. It can also help patients with otherwise healthy gums and teeth reduce their risk of developing cavities and periodontal disease (gum disease). Cleanings can even help prevent tooth loss as you get older and remove harmful bacteria that could cause chronic inflammation and other issues.
It's a discounted fee schedule for dental services provided at Pennington Dental Associates and Ewing Dental Associates for those without insurance. It is not a dental insurance plan.
The Pennginton Dental Ewing Membership Club Plus+ is an annual reduced-fee savings plan for families and individuals that allows its members to receive quality dental services at greatly reduced prices.
Unlike conventional insurance plans, with the PDEMC+ there are no deductibles, no yearly maximums, and no waiting periods to begin treatment. Membership Club benefits coverage begins immediately on plan registration.
Our PMEDC+ Benefits include:
- 3 Regular Cleanings
- All Exams (including yearly, limited, emergency and oral hygiene instructions)
- Any Necessary X-Rays (including bitewings, panoramic and full-mouth)
- An Immediate (10%) Savings on All Dental Procedures
- 10% Savings on Restorative Filling Procedures
- 10% Savings on Major Dental Procedures (including implants, crowns, bridges and dentures)
- 10% Savings on Cosmetic Dental Procedures (including veneers and whitening)
- 10% Savings on Other Dental Procedures
Additional family members can join at a reduced rate, providing even more savings. If you currently pay $25 or more per month for yourself/spouse/dependents to receive dental benefits, our Membership Club may be a better financial alternative for you and your family.
This is a discount program, not a dental insurance plan.
