The McElroy Smile Membership

The McElroy Smile Membership is a paid dental plan for patients in Encinitas without insurance. Essentials covers your routine preventive care at member fees for $500 a year. Perio, built around four periodontal maintenance cleanings, is $900 a year. Both come with no insurance, no waiting periods, and no annual maximum.

Who are the plans for?

If you do not have dental insurance, these plans are built for you. You pay one yearly amount that covers your routine care at member fees and gives you member pricing on the treatment you need, with none of the restrictions insurance brings: no waiting periods, no annual maximum, and no pre-existing condition limitations. Your dentist recommends the plan that fits your care: Essentials for routine prevention, or Perio when you are on a periodontal maintenance schedule.

What does Essentials include? ($500 a year)

Two cleanings, two exams, and two fluoride treatments a year
Routine X-rays
A flexible third visit (third cleaning or emergency visit)
Member pricing on other treatment

1 member: $500

How do I join, and what does it cost?

Essentials is $500 a year for an individual, and Perio is $900. New patients start with a New Patient Visit for $200. If you come in for an emergency, your $100 emergency exam fee applies as a credit toward joining the day you enroll, so that visit is covered inside your membership.

Can I add whitening?

Yes. Brilliance is our professional whitening program, $750, and you can add it to either plan. It includes custom-fitted trays, three weeks of professional deep bleaching at home, a one-hour in-office power session, and a cosmetic consultation.

No. It is a membership offered directly by the practice for patients without dental insurance. There are no waiting periods, no annual maximums, and no pre-existing condition limitations. You pay one yearly fee that covers your routine preventive care at member fees and gives you member pricing on other treatment.
