Dental care is essential—but for many families and individuals without insurance, the cost can be overwhelming. Fortunately, Oak Dental Centre offers a patient-focused solution for residents of both Oakville and Arnold: the Smile Advantage Plan – Oakville and Smile Advantage Plan – Arnold.

This in-house membership program is designed to make preventive care services accessible and affordable while offering exclusive discounts on additional treatments—all without the confusing limitations of traditional dental insurance. If you’ve been searching for a straightforward, budget-friendly way to stay on top of your oral health, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the Smile Advantage Plan.

What Is the Smile Advantage Plan?

Overview of the in-house dental membership program

The Smile Advantage Plan is a subscription-based dental savings program offered directly by Oak Dental Centre. It’s tailored to individuals, couples, families, and children who want consistent dental care without dealing with an insurance company. Members pay a flat annual fee in exchange for preventive services and discounted rates on other treatments.

This plan is not dental insurance—it’s a modern alternative that puts control back into the hands of patients.

How it differs from traditional dental insurance

Traditional dental insurance comes with deductibles, waiting periods, and confusing coverage exclusions. You may find yourself limited by annual maximums or denied for essential treatments.

The Smile Advantage Plan is different. There are no deductibles, claim forms, or pre-approvals. Your benefits begin immediately after enrollment, making your experience more convenient, predictable, and transparent.

Designed for patients without employer-provided coverage or with high deductibles

Whether you’re a small business owner, retiree, or a parent juggling family expenses, the Smile Advantage Plan fills the gap left by expensive insurance options. It’s ideal for those who don’t receive dental benefits from work or are stuck with high-deductible plans that don’t offer real value.

Benefits of the Smile Advantage Plan

Free annual exams, cleanings, and X-rays included

The foundation of the Smile Advantage Plan is preventive care. Every membership includes:

Two professional cleanings per year
Comprehensive oral exams
All necessary diagnostic X-rays
Oral cancer screenings

These services help you stay ahead of potential issues and maintain a healthy smile year-round.

Exclusive discounts on procedures like crowns, fillings, and implants

Beyond preventive care, members receive significant discounts on a wide range of procedures, including:

Fillings and extractions
Root canals
Crowns and bridges
Dental implants
Dentures and partials
Cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening

This means fewer surprises when you need more advanced care.

No deductibles, waiting periods, or insurance hassles

There’s no red tape. Once you’re enrolled, your benefits kick in immediately—no waiting periods or approval processes to worry about. You can receive treatment when you need it without jumping through hoops or stressing about paperwork.

Transparent pricing with predictable annual costs

One of the biggest advantages is cost transparency. With the Smile Advantage Plan, you’ll know exactly what to expect each year. There are no hidden fees or surprise rate increases. Everything is clearly outlined, giving you financial peace of mind.

Who Should Consider the Smile Advantage Plan?

Patients without insurance or with limited coverage

Retirees and self-employed individuals

Retired and no longer covered by an employer plan? Self-employed and managing your own benefits? The Smile Advantage Plan offers flexibility and affordability, helping you prioritize oral health in any life stage.

Parents seeking affordable preventive care for children

Dental health starts young, and this plan helps parents provide their children with high-quality care without breaking the bank. Pediatric coverage is affordable and tailored to the unique needs of growing smiles.

People avoiding care due to cost concerns

Cost Comparison: Smile Advantage vs Traditional Insurance

Average cost of private dental insurance vs membership plan

Private dental insurance premiums often range from $30–$60 per month for an individual. That’s up to $720 a year—often with limited coverage. The Smile Advantage Plan typically costs less per year and includes the services you’ll actually use.

It’s also more flexible. With insurance, you’re stuck with certain providers and capped benefits. With Smile Advantage, you deal directly with the Oak Dental Centre team.

No hidden fees or claim denials

One of the top frustrations with dental insurance is claims being denied or procedures labeled “not medically necessary.” That doesn’t happen here. You’ll never get an unexpected bill or need to argue with a third party.

What you see is what you get—with honest pricing and clear expectations.

Real examples from Oak Dental Centre patients

Many of our members have shared their relief at being able to afford cleanings, fillings, and even crowns—thanks to the Smile Advantage Plan. Patients who once delayed care due to cost now confidently book appointments, knowing they’re covered by a program built for their needs.
