Don’t Have Dental Insurance? Here’s What Queen Creek Patients Are Doing Instead

No Dental Insurance? You’re Not Alone in Queen Creek

More than 74 million Americans don’t have dental insurance — and in Queen Creek, that number is higher than you might expect. Whether you're self-employed, between jobs, or just not paying for a traditional plan, going without dental coverage can feel risky. But here’s the good news: you still have options—and some of them are even better than insurance.

At Max Dental Club, we’ve met plenty of Queen Creek locals asking the same question:
“How can I afford dental care without insurance?”
This post breaks down what people are actually doing instead—and how you can get top-quality dental care without paying sky-high fees or skipping visits altogether.

What Happens If You Don’t Have Dental Insurance?

First, let’s clear something up: dental insurance isn’t required to get great care. In fact, many patients who do have dental insurance still end up paying out of pocket for cleanings, fillings, and major procedures because of deductibles, waiting periods, or limited annual maximums.

But without a plan, many people:

• Avoid the dentist for years
  
  
• Pay 100% out of pocket for even small procedures
  
  
• Wait until something really hurts (which usually costs more)
  
  
• Assume they can’t afford preventive care like cleanings or X-rays
  
  

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. But skipping dental visits is more expensive in the long run—and it increases your risk of things like gum disease, tooth loss, and infections that require emergency care.

So what are Queen Creek patients doing to stay on top of their dental health without insurance?

1. They Join a Dental Membership Plan

A growing number of Queen Creek residents are turning to dental membership plans instead of traditional insurance—and it’s easy to see why.

How it works:
You pay a flat monthly or annual fee (think: $20–40/month) and get a package of benefits like:

• $35 cleanings
  
  
• Deep discounts (20%–50%) on fillings, crowns, and even cosmetic work
  
  
• No deductibles, no claim forms, no waiting periods
  
  

Unlike insurance, membership plans:

• Start immediately
  
  
• Don’t limit you with annual maximums
  
  
• Cover the stuff you actually use
  
  

At Max Dental Club, our Join The Club™ Membership gives patients $35 preventive care and up to 30% off everything else—with zero red tape. It’s dentistry on your terms, not an insurance company’s.

2. They Pay Out of Pocket... But Smarter

If you don’t need tons of work, you may be better off just paying out of pocket—especially with offices that offer:

• Transparent pricing (no surprise bills)
  
  
• Bundled new patient specials
  
  
• Competitive rates for cleanings, fillings, and checkups
  
  

Example: At Max Dental Club, a cash patient pays as low as $20 for a cleaning (yes, really). No insurance games. Just fair pricing.

3. They Use Third-Party Financing

For bigger procedures—crowns, implants, root canals—many Queen Creek dental offices offer third-party financing through companies like:

• Cherry
  
• CareCredit
• Sunbit
  
  

These allow you to:

• Break up larger costs into manageable monthly payments
  
• Avoid interest if paid off within promo periods
  
• Get the care you need now (instead of waiting too long)
  
  

Even without insurance, you still have access to payment plans if your budget is tight.

4. They Focus on Preventive Care

Prevention is always cheaper than treatment. Most uninsured patients save money simply by:

• Getting twice-a-year cleanings
  
• Catching cavities early
  
• Avoiding root canals, crowns, and tooth loss
  
  

You don’t need insurance to take control of your dental health. Regular cleanings at an affordable rate (like those offered through membership plans) are your best defense against expensive surprises.

5. They Switch to a Practice That Gets It

Here’s the truth: not every dental office understands life without insurance.

Some practices only work with PPO patients. Others don’t post prices or offer payment flexibility. But a growing number of dentists in Queen Creek are adapting to meet patients where they are.

Max Dental Club is one of them.
