How Our In-House Savings Plan Makes Dental Care Affordable in San Luis Obispo
Dental health is essential for a happy, confident life. But for many San Luis Obispo residents, the cost of dental care without insurance can feel overwhelming. At Michael Colleran, DDS, we understand these challenges deeply, and that’s why Dr. Michael Colleran and his team created an affordable in-house savings plan that puts your smile and your wallet first.
“Everyone deserves access to quality dental care, regardless of insurance. Our in-house plan makes that possible here in San Luis Obispo,” adds Dr. Michael Colleran
The Challenge of Affording Dental Care Without Insurance
Common Barriers to Care
Without dental insurance, many people face tough choices. High out-of-pocket costs often stop patients from getting routine checkups, cleanings, or necessary treatments. San Luis Obispo’s beautiful coastal lifestyle encourages an active, healthy community, but expensive dental bills can lead to delayed care. This delay can worsen dental problems and increase anxiety about visiting the dentist.
Why Many San Luis Obispo Residents Delay Dental Treatment
For some, it’s the fear of unexpected costs. Others might feel overwhelmed by complicated insurance paperwork or long waiting times for approvals. Many families in our community want to keep their smiles healthy, but simply cannot find an affordable, straightforward option.
What Is an In-House Dental Savings Plan?
How It Works
Our in-house Patient Savings Plan offers a simple, transparent solution to get the dental care you need without insurance. For an annual fee, you receive essential preventive services like exams, cleanings, and X-rays included in your membership. Plus, you get generous discounts on many other dental treatments, including restorative and cosmetic care.
