DocAyer Dental Membership Plan
After many years of practicing dentistry and dealing with insurance companies, Dr. Ayer has seen the need to create a direct primary care plan to meet the needs of his patients.
The DocAyer Membership Plan is Direct Primary Care (DPC). DPC is dental care involving a direct financial relationship between the patient and dentist in exchange for personal and accessible primary dental care services. It is our preferred patient relationship and works like traditional insurance without the costly deductible, restrictive yearly maximums, and other related headaches! For a flat fee, patients will receive essential preventive dentistry and valuable discounts on a wide variety of other services, including dental crowns, root canals, Invisalign Clear Braces, and more.
Most small businesses and self-employed people are not able to provide dental coverage because individual insurance plans are too expensive, limited in coverage, and confusing to use with many forms to complete and unexpected restrictions. Additionally, most people agree that decisions regarding their dental care are best made between themselves and the dentist without third party involvement.
Dr. Ayer created THE DOCAYER DENTAL MEMBERSHIP PLAN to provide you and your family with affordable and efficient dental coverage. This plan provides outstanding benefits that are comparable to dental coverage offered by large insurance companies and employers.
Dr. Ayer and his outstanding staff will provide the best quality dental care available. We offer not only preventative dentistry but excellent coverage on major dental procedures such as crowns, bridges, Invisalign, root canals, and implant crowns.
