Are you stressed about how to pay for your medical expenses because you are without dental insurance? If so, you are not alone! According to estimates, only 45.9% of adults carry dental insurance in the West South Central region (which includes Texas). Furthermore, in this same region, 5.4% of adults had dental insurance but still could not afford treatment. That is one reason that 28% of Texas adults report feeling embarrassed by their smiles. Fortunately, an in-house dental plan can make quality care affordable for all.
At Austin Laser Dentist, Dr. Helen Ragsdale believes that everyone should be able to share a healthy smile with the world. Our plan automatically includes preventive services, as well as significant discounts on restorative, cosmetic, and periodontal procedures.

Is the plan better than insurance?
It can be! While dental insurance typically covers the cost of routine exams, cleanings, and x-rays, patients typically have high out-of-pocket costs before they meet their deductibles. Cosmetic care is often not covered at all! With the discounts of our dental plan, you may wind up paying much less.
Furthermore, even if you never receive any treatment beyond routine preventive care, the cost of our in-house plan may be significantly lower than your yearly insurance premiums.
