What if I don't have dental insurance?
We offer Virginia Dental Club. $279 a year for an individual, $259 a year for each additional member in the same household. No enrollment fee. Renews annually. Your membership includes two cleanings, two routine exams, one problem-focused emergency exam, and your X-rays at no charge each membership year. Most other services are 20% off our standard fee. Virginia Dental Club is a membership plan administered by Membersy LLC, not insurance. There is nothing to file, no waiting period, and no annual maximum.
