7 Benefits of a Dental Membership Plan

September 19, 2025 9:00 am

Let’s face it—dental insurance can feel confusing, limiting, and expensive. At Alma Dental Care in Petaluma, CA, Dr. Serrano offers a refreshingly straightforward solution: the Alma Membership Plan. It’s built for people who want excellent dental care without the maze of insurance. And the best part? The benefits kick in the moment you sign up.

No Insurance? No Problem

One of the biggest advantages of the Alma Membership Plan is that it’s built specifically for people without dental insurance. That might be small business owners, retirees, part-time workers, or just families trying to manage healthcare costs on their own. Whatever the situation, the goal is the same: keep your teeth and gums healthy without breaking your budget or dealing with middlemen.

You sign up once. You pay once a year. And you get the kind of consistent, thorough dental care that helps prevent bigger issues down the line.

Get the Basics Covered—No Guesswork Involved

Most patients need the same essential services every year: cleanings, exams, and X-rays. With this membership, those basics are already covered. Adults also receive oral cancer screenings, and kids get fluoride treatments to strengthen developing teeth.

It’s everything you’d expect during a regular visit—but without the added cost each time. You’re not pulling out a card and wondering if something’s “included.” It’s all there.

Be Prepared When the Unexpected Happens

Toothaches don’t check your schedule. Accidents don’t ask if you have coverage. That’s why each plan includes one emergency exam per year. You can call Alma Dental Care and be seen without hesitation, knowing it won’t throw off your finances or require paperwork.

Having that peace of mind—especially if you have kids or an unpredictable schedule—makes a real difference.

Tailored Options for Adults, Kids, and Periodontal Needs

The plan isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s broken down into three options to match your needs:

  • Child Complete: Designed for children 13 and under, this includes cleanings, exams, fluoride, and X-rays—plus an emergency visit if needed.

  • Adult Complete: Ideal for most patients 14 and older, this plan also adds oral cancer screenings to the essentials.

  • Perio Plan: Best for adults who require ongoing care for gum health. Includes three periodontal maintenance cleanings and extra exams.

Each plan is crafted around what that group typically needs most, which means you’re not paying for things you won’t use—or missing out on care you should be getting.

Clear Pricing, No Surprises

But, one of the most appealing aspects of the Alma Membership Plan is its simplicity. You pay a flat annual fee. You know what’s included. And if you need additional treatment—like fillings, crowns, or other procedures—you get 10% off those services just for being a member.

That’s it. No deductibles, no approvals, no chasing down codes. It’s the kind of clarity most patients wish came with traditional insurance.

Better Value for Families

Dental care is a family affair, and Alma Dental Care makes it easier to bring everyone in for routine visits. Add family members to your plan and save an extra 5% per subscription. That means more than just lower bills—it means shared habits, consistent care, and fewer surprises throughout the year.

It’s also a smart way to get kids used to regular visits and preventive care from a young age.

No Middleman, Just Personalized Dental Care

Traditional insurance plans sometimes limit how dentists can treat their patients. Certain procedures might require pre-approvals or be denied entirely. But, with Alma’s in-house plan, that barrier disappears. As a result, Dr. Serrano can recommend what’s best for your long-term oral health—without being second-guessed by an outside company.
