Office Information

The Dental Savings Plan is good only for services at Tamura Dentistry (Daniel H. Tamura, DDS, APC). Therefore, if you are referred to a specialist, they will NOT offer this discount.

The Dental Savings Plan is good for 1 year from the day you sign up. It expires the following year on your anniversary date. All premiums are due and payable at the time of registration.

All payments are due at the time of service for dental procedures not provided under the plan to receive the discount. Any services received which are not paid for at the time of service will be billed at the non-discount, usual and customary fee. If you use Care Credit as payment for services, the discount will be reduced to 10% due to merchant fees.

The Dental Savings Plan enrollment fee is NON-Refundable. You have the right to cancel in the first 30 days and receive a full refund less any treatment done which will be charged at the regular fee. No refunds are given if the patient chooses not to use the plan. It is the responsibility of the patient to maximize benefits by arranging appropriate appointments within the 12-month period. If the appointments are not used, the patient will not be entitled to a refund.

This plan is NOT an insurance plan. No claims are filed and no payments are made to any other healthcare provider. Tamura Dentistry is not a licensed insurer, health maintenance organization (HMO) or other underwriter of health services.

This plan is NON-Transferable. Family members cannot be substituted in for another family member. All family members must live in the same household.

Cleanings must be performed before the end of the coverage date.

Rates for the Dental Savings Plan may be reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis with notification.
