LAS VEGAS, NV - Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry announced today a significant increase in dental membership plan enrollments following the recent open enrollment season, with many new patients choosing the practice's In-Office Membership Plan as an alternative to traditional dental insurance.
The Las Vegas dental practice saw a notable surge in membership sign-ups throughout late 2025 and early 2026, with multiple new patients specifically seeking the practice's annual membership plan. The program provides comprehensive preventive care including up to four cleanings per year, two periodic exams, any x-rays needed, and one emergency exam per year, with no waiting periods, no deductibles, and no annual maximums.
"We've definitely seen an increase in membership enrollment," said Dr. Jessica Pharar, co-owner of Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry. "A lot of new patients have been coming in without insurance and choosing our membership plan. Many patients are having conversations with us about how their employer-provided insurance doesn't cover as much as they expected, and our membership program offers them a transparent, cost-effective alternative for comprehensive dental care."
The timing of the enrollment surge coincides with the traditional open enrollment period when employees evaluate their benefit options for the coming year. The practice positioned its Dental Savings Plan as a viable solution for individuals facing gaps in dental insurance coverage or those working for employers that don't offer dental benefits.
The membership plan covers preventive care essentials and provides discounts on restorative, cosmetic, and oral surgery procedures ranging from 10% to 20% off. Members can enroll at any time throughout the year, with coverage beginning immediately upon enrollment. The program operates on a 12-month term from the date of enrollment, providing flexibility that traditional insurance enrollment periods often lack.
According to the practice, the increase in membership enrollments has contributed to expanded capacity for hygiene services. The growing patient base has enabled the practice to increase hours for their second dental hygienist, with specialized hygiene procedures like scaling and root planing currently booked into February 2026. The practice aims to transition the second hygienist position to full-time by mid-2026.
"The membership plan has been particularly effective for cash-pay patients," Dr. Pharar noted. "We're able to be very flexible with members, and when someone needs additional care, we can work with them. It creates a different relationship with our patients - one focused on preventive care and getting them the optimal care they need rather than navigating insurance limitations."
The success of the membership program aligns with broader trends in dental care, as more practices nationwide introduce in-house membership plans to address gaps in traditional insurance coverage. These programs appeal to self-employed individuals, early retirees not yet eligible for Medicare, and employees at companies without dental benefits or with limited coverage options.
Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry continues to accept traditional dental insurance from major providers including Delta Dental, MetLife, CIGNA, and United Concordia, while offering the Dental Savings Plan as an additional option for patients seeking predictable, comprehensive care.
